Even though you’ll be travelling through some of New Zealand’s renowned wilderness areas, on this tour you won’t need to sacrifice any of your comforts. In fact you’ll be doing it in style as far as accommodation is concerned, staying in some of the loveliest and most characterful properties on the South Island.

This comprehensive self-drive itinerary is a circular route and incredibly scenic – you’ll travel through lush temperate rainforests, view the majestic glaciers of the Southern Alps, relax on the shores of jewel-like Lake Wanaka or perhaps visit magical Milford Sound.

You’ll also take in vineyards in the famous Marlborough wine producing region, the elegant cities of Christchurch and Dunedin, and Queenstown, which is renowned for the range of adventurous activities on offer, as well as its excellent shopping.
