We are New Zealand travel specialists. Since 2003 we have been creating personalised holidays to New Zealand.
Based in the town of Buxton in England with trusted partners on the ground in New Zealand, we create holidays specifically to suit you. We are a small travel company based in Buxton, Derbyshire and we specialise in creating bespoke New Zealand holidays. I (Paul) own the company and I work with all of our clients directly providing real personal service and sharing the experience that I have developed over 10 years of arranging holidays to New Zealand.

Did you know this is New Zealand's Christmas Tree? 🎄
One of the main ways we celebrate Christmas here in England is by decorating the Christmas Tree, typically a Nordic Spruce.
However, our friends in the southern hemisphere have a different Christmas Tree - the Pohutukawa!
The blazing red flowers of the Pohutukawa bloom during the New Zealand summer, right around the time we celebrate Christmas 🌺
Therefore the Pohutukawa has been given the title of New Zealand's Christmas Tree!

Have you ever spotted this bird in NZ?
The Pīwauwau (Rock Wren) has been declared New Zealand's 'Bird Of The Year 2022' 🦜
You're lucky if you get to catch a glimpse of this little bird during your trip, as they can only be found in remote areas of the South Island and are an endangered species.

We are a specialist travel company based in Buxton, Derbyshire that creates bespoke holidays to New Zealand.
As our name suggests, New Zealand is our complete passion and we are committed to sharing our knowledge to create the best possible holiday experiences. Achieving this requires more than good destination knowledge, it’s about listening to you, understanding your interests and caring about the experience you will have.
We have close relationships with our partners on the ground and have visited and met every provider we recommend, and we have colleagues based in Auckland who are on hand to make sure our trips run smoothly.
We advocate responsible tourism and wherever possible work with companies who care for their local environment. In addition we sponsor a number of eco-projects, booking certain trips on a commission free basis so you can make a difference without paying extra.
The company was started by Paul Carberry in 2003. Paul first visited New Zealand in 1997 and has since explored every corner of the country, even the Chatham Islands! Since then the company has grown with Sally Lilley and Harriet Grubb joining the team as travel consultants. Sally is a New Zealand resident and Harriet is a regular visitor to New Zealand and has travelled there as a back-packer, new mother and solo traveller. Between we have more than 40 years of collective experience!
