If the idea of a road trip around New Zealand feels overwhelming, there’s a more relaxed and flexible way to explore: base your holiday around one central location and enjoy day trips from there.
Why Choose a Central Base for Your Holiday?
This style of holiday means settling into your preferred accessible accommodation for the duration of your trip, and then taking short excursions to nearby attractions each day.
New Zealand offers countless destinations within just a couple of hours’ drive from one another — giving you endless possibilities. It’s like the cruise ship experience where you unpack once and explore a new place every day.
Accessibility Made Easy
For those with accessibility needs, this approach has added benefits. Special equipment and personal care services can be arranged and installed at your accommodation before you arrive, removing the hassle of packing, transporting, and setting up on the move.
