We had an absolutely wonderful time in New Zealand. Working with Denise was a real pleasure. The centrally located hotels, tours, guides and transportation she set up were spot on. It was comforting knowing Denise and her team was available to us during the whole trip if we needed help. The attention to detail and dedication to service she brought to our itinerary was outstanding. Some of our favorites were: the Essence of Waiheka wine tour, the Hobbiton movie set tour, the Po Indigenous Experience and the cruise to Walter Peak, farm tour and BBQ dinner. The views from our hotel rooms in Mt Cook and Queenstown were spectacular. We would highly recommend Denise and KimKim to anyone who is interested in touring New Zealand.
Hotel Reviews
Really nice hotel. They charged us 55 $ per night for parking but other than that it was great.
We didn’t actually stay here. The restaurant in the hotel was closed on the days we were booked to stay there. We were going to have to walk over to the Hermitage Hotel to eat every day so we were able to get an upgrade to a very nice room over there. The breakfasts and the dinner buffet there were good and overall I would give this hotel 5 stars.
Very nice hotel, well located with friendly staff and good breakfast.
We actually stayed at the Ramada Suites Queenstown. The hotel was centrally located to the lakefront just a 5 min walk. Parking would have been a big issue if we hadn’t had a spot reserved beneath the hotel. The restaurant was ok and breakfast was just ok as well. The staff was very nice and the lake and Mountain View’s from our room were again spectacular.
This turned out to be a pretty nice hotel. Parking was easy and the hotel was well located. Nice restaurant and great breakfast bar.
Activity Reviews
Enjoyed the ferry ride to the island
Loved this tour. We had a great time, the driver/guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the island and the people on the island.
This is very well done and well organized. We took the 2 1/2 hour tour and that was plenty.
We really enjoyed this experience, another one of our favorites.
This was just kind of average for us. A few interesting things but not sure it was worth the time.
Worth seeing.
Loved this tour as well. Seems we like the activities that involve food.
Another great wine tour. We had a very good guide who went the extra mile for us and showed us a great time. I believe Lindsey was his name, top notch!
Loved this boat ride and buffet. The farm tour and sheep shearing was outstanding.
Thank you John and Christine, it was an absolute pleasure creating this special trip to New Zealand with you both.
I really appreciate your kind words and your very thorough review on your experiences and accommodation. This is great and helps us to make sure we are delivering the right product for our clients.
I hope that you get to visit New Zealand again but in the meantime stay well and happy.
