Blenheim / Christchurch / Lake Tekapo / Queenstown Trip

We had an unforgettable trip from start to finish - we kicked things off in Picton, where we did a combo tour of the Marlborough wine region and seafood cruise in the Marlborough Sounds. Both expereinces saw a great balance of stunning views, calm waters (on the cruise), and nonstop photo opportunities.

Christchurch surprised us with its charm, walkability, and mix of historic and modern vibes. We did a self-guided walk of the town, including a stop at The Church Pub for food and drinks.. It made a great transition point before driving deeper into the South Islands natural beauty.

Lake Tekapo featured unreal turquoise water, open skies, and peaceful atmosphere. It may have been one of the most photogeneic places we visited on this leg of the trip.

Wanaka was a wonderful lake town, where it featured one of the most photographed trees in the world. I wish we could have spent another day here to experience the town more.

we wrapped up our trip in Queenstown, where you could easily spend a week there and not do everything. While there though we did get a chance to do a number of excursions, including a plane ride, horse-back ride, jet-boat ride, and river funyak excurions, where we were able to see the snow-capped mountain ranges known famously in many Hollywood blockbusters, including Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and Misson Impossible!

Between the scenery, activities, and unforgettable moments captured, our NZ trip exceeded expectations, it is purely a magical country, and the itinerary provided by KimKim was the perfect way to experience it.

We are so lucky to have found Michelle! We had the most incredible trip to New Zealand and everything was perfect. We had beautiful hotels, fun activities, and lots of support along the way. The Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel, Fiordland Lodge, and Lakestone Lodge were the nicest hotels we've ever stayed in and the shotover jet in Queenstown, glow worms in Te Anu, and cruise on the Milford Sound were fabulous once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Thanks Michelle!

Uma was absolutely amazing and the entire reason we had the trip of our lives to New Zealand! Her local knowledge, expertise and attention to detail was superb. She gave the best recommendations considering our likes with respect to activities, venues and locations. She followed up on every detail when we were traveling. She is truly extraordinary, and our only disappointment is that she doesn't plan travel in other countries! If you are traveling to New Zealand, please use Uma. She is a must have for a spectacular experience in New Zealand!

Everything was first class except the very last night. I know John Mattarella was a little kind in his words, but I won’t mix the words that was way beneath what you guys should’ve gave us. Everything was excellent until that moment it was like going to a hostile quite honestly is bullshit but everything else was great except exceptionally great except that last moment, which then the last moment is what you remember I hope for your future guests you get rid of that location cause that was a joke again thank you for everything with a great time John my wife, Yvonne, and Heather did all the coordinating with you. I was a silent partner and like said it was great fantastic over the top until last night. Quite honest I think we should get a refund for that night, but that’s beside the point please do better for your next guest on that port otherwise spot on thank you Ron Zielinski

Hotel Review
Oaks Auckland Hotel (Prev. Nesuto Stadium Auckland)
Auckland

This felt like a hostile nothing on the walls, pure white twin size beds after having a first rate first class top-notch experience of first place places we’ve been to and then we go to this hostile looking place. It was clean and nice, but it wasn’t the first class experience that we had through Kim Kim and should’ve stayed throughout the trip.

Hi Ron

Many thanks for your feedback on the airport hotel that you had for the last night. I will certainly advise all our staff and take it off our selling list. I am glad you enjoyed all your trip to that point. We usually use the Novotel or Pullman so I am not sure why Jannie chose this hotel unless availability was tight. I really appreciate your feedback.

Kind regards
Ruth
