At TravelEssence, we specialise in crafting custom-made holidays that take you off the beaten path and create memories to last a lifetime. We believe in connecting with the heart and soul of a place, introducing you to the locals who call it home. Engage in conversations with fascinating individuals who will share their stories, traditions, and way of life, leaving an indelible mark on your journey.
New Zealanders are generally laid-back and relaxed, and we believe this exact mentality should be adapted to your holiday. Drive a few hours from one accommodation to the next. Easy journey’s through beautiful scenery. No rush. No pressure. To inspire you for your journey DownUnder, we have created a few example routes for solo travellers.
Discover the wide-open spaces and enjoy the laid-back lifestyle of New Zealand. Three to five weeks will give you enough time to see more breathtaking locations at a relaxed pace. Staying at each place for two to four nights allows you to experience New Zealand like a local.
Whether you want to conquer New Zealand’s ‘Great Walks’ or visit quirky towns, we can arrange it. And you don’t have to travel far to see a lot. Within a few hours, you’ll discover a completely different landscape.

"With good planning and careful selection, you get a nice contrast of all that New Zealand has to offer, plus several nights in each location."
