      of the year. Booking policies are advised at the time of reservation.
      To confirm a reservation a deposit will be required and /or a current credit card number
      with expiry date as a guarantee is necessary.

      Travel Insurance
      We strongly recommend that at the time of booking you purchase a comprehensive travel
      insurance policy that includes loss of deposit or holiday payment through cancellation.

From the Bay of Islands in the Far North, journey through landscapes
that blend magnificent coastlines, rolling farmland and geothermal
wonders. Maori history and culture is rich and ever-present. The
luxury lodges of the North Island perch on cliff tops above the ocean
and lakes, border beaches and rivers or are immersed in native forest,
country estates or on spectacular golf courses.
