We enjoyed our interactions and the service provided by KimKim and our local specialist, Kathrin for our New Zealand adventure. Kathrin was able to plan a great trip for us, within our budget, and was very responsive when we needed to contact her before and during our trip. KimKim kept us notified of how to contact them during the time their offices would be closed due to a national holiday during our stay.
Highlights of our three week trip were the Newton Heights B & B in Akaroa, where we were treated very well by hosts Gail and Brendan in their beautiful and well appointed B & B, The Starlight Gourmet Kayak Tour - Glowworm Caves - our guide, Aaron, was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, and the time we spent in Aoraki, which included the Tasman glacier terminal lake cruise - the Glacier Explorer staff were all professional, friendly. informative and helpful.
The longest time we stayed in any one place was two nights. We wanted to see as much of the country as we could during the time we had. The only thing we would do differently would be to stay longer in a few of the locations.
