Let
us design a day-to-day itinerary with pre-arranged accommodation
- you have the choice of a combination of hotels, motels
or Bed & Breakfasts - even a farmstay thrown in. You
have complete freedom each day, but have a firm booking
each night.
"Freewheeler" rent-a-car packages where you have complete freedom to build your own itinerary. Select the vehicle that suits you best and what style of accommodation you like. You can mix categories and pre-purchase vouchers.
If you want to be totally independent you will love the fully equipped Motorhomes. Just add your personal possessions, stock up with some food and off you go! With over 400 camping grounds throughout New Zealand there is little need to book ahead. Of course you are not restricted to camping grounds; you could quite easily pull over for the night beside that secluded mountain stream or clear blue lake giving you that "away from it all" feeling!
