What trips would you suggest? What is the accommodation you use?

Shooting from the hip – a South Island trip only, of at least a week. Really you need 10 days to get even a reasonable look, preferably 14.. We could put you in some great “boutique” homestays, farmstays, restored gold rush era pubs and top quality B&Bs that we use on our guided tours. We have chosen places where the hosts are especially convivial and out that extra bit into ensuring you have a great stay – it often makes the difference between a great holiday and an ordinary holiday. We only rarely use motels.. (last resort only..)
