We had a wonderful time. The accommodation was fabulous as were the hosts. We would highly recommend a stay at Fiordland Lodge. Our only complaint is we had to leave. The meals were great. We loved the food so our compliments to the chef. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. We are very keen to go back. Thanks to the Road Trip for the promotion of this wonderful experience. Booking was so easy and all communication clear. We found our way around without problem. We will watch for further promotions. Many thanks again.
We had a fabulous time on Kawau Island. Our stay couldn’t have been better – the lovely staff, great food and such a relaxing place to unwind. Thanks for your service.
The trip was amazing we loved the accommodation especially where situated and very tidy. Our family of 6 adults and 2 children thought it was amazing. We were awed by the mountains, walks, fishing and helicopter road back, boat rides at Te Anau and Milford (we were lucky to have beautiful weather and dolphins). All hosts were very accommodating friendly at places we stayed and on the excursions. the Road Trip personnel were excellent and very helpful. Have recommended to my friends. Thanks it was wonderful.
We had an awesome holiday away – thank you so much!! The hosts were lovely, very hospitable. Meals were to die for. Will certainly go back again one day! Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for organising out trip for us. It was perfect from start to finish and the weather played it’s part. We are so impressed with your friendliness, professionalism, communication and organisation and are already planning where you can send us next. We look forward to our next road trip! Nga mini nui
We had a great trip to Te Anau. The booking process was easy, friendly and proactive, all queries were responded to promptly and in a positive way.
The actual trip was great. Trips and Tramps were amazing. Their staff were very professional, friendly and helpful. Their organisation for each day was spot on, the pickups were always on time, their vehicles modern and spotless, and the information given of our surrounds in transfers was great. We enjoyed each of the day walks, and were thrilled to find that the guides always carried the makings of a coffee for midway through the walk! Excellent lunches were provided by a local bakery, with enough food for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea; food was of a great quality and variety.
Fiordland lodge was a beautiful place to stay. The rooms were comfortable, with amazing views of the lake and mountains. We loved the evening canapés, and meals were of a high standard. Staff and the owner were friendly and attentive, and the lodge well set up with a pool table and other games. The hot tubs were spotless, and commanded an amazing view.
We would and have recommended The Road Trip to friends.
Our trip was AMAZING!! The accomodation was superb , quiet , clean and very comfortable. The staff Chris , Camilla , Ornella and Fabio were gorgeous and so very very helpful and attentive!! The food divine ! We are looking forward to re visiting sometime again .. sooner rather than later!! Thank you so much !!
hi we all thoroughly enjoyed the trip.acckmodation van,fishing trip all fab.thanks again
Thanks to you and Eletra for organising the trip my wife Carol and I had on Great Barrier Island last weekend and Monday.
Everything worked very smoothly. We even had perfect weather. (Did you arrange that too?)
I just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic trip. Thank you for organising everything so well for us. Everything went so smoothly it was all too easy.
I also want to mention that the accommodation at Church Hill was top notch and Chris and Deanne were fantastic hosts. I definitely think it is an accommodation option that you should add to any more Stewart Island trips that you might organise.
Thanks again. We will keep an eye out for the next Road Trip.
Just in transit from the Doubtful Sound Experience & wanted to say a heartfelt thanks – we have immensely enjoyed the whole package.
So pleased all the dates aligned to make this happen!
We had an awesome trip
Stewart Island was amazing! Accommodation was lovely and hosts awesome. Breakfast was more than you could ask for!
The tours were fantastic, particularly the Ulva Island guided walk. We couldn’t recommend that more highly!! We would recommend the local movie, the museum, and the DOC office (particularly if anyone is planning on walks as they have huge amount of information).
The Mt Cook stay was also great. The food was amazing our only problems were there was too much food! The second night we only ordered a single main and a single desert and shared it and still couldn’t finish it all!!
I think your concept is great especially for people like me, I just didn’t have time to plan and book everything. We were away for 3 weeks and it was so nice to have some of the work done for me!!
-The quality of your accommodation and the level of service received:
Amazing…the best service I have ever had!
-How valuable the travel guide prepared by The Road Trip was for your trip:
Really valuable, especially food recommendations.
-The ease of The Road Trip’s booking process:
Super easy. Quickest most painless holiday I have organised. Just enough included without being overwhelming.
-Anything else you’d like to add!
Have recommended to others and they are all keen to book soon!
From a couple of very grateful Kiwis, a big thank you to Jeff & his team; Zac, Ro & Andrew for guiding us so expertly throughout our three ‘Great Walks’. We enjoyed listening to your interesting stories, having some good laughs & the overall tramping experience. Thank you for looking after everyone so well, with the reward of wholesome lunches & hot drinks at the summits, as well as providing comfortable mini coaches that were always on time. We are in awe of our beautiful country and people. Thank you.
To our Lodge hosts Andy, Deni, Christina, Chef James & breakfast hostess, we enjoyed that you had time to share your conversations with us, & for the thoughtful consideration you gave to our luxurious accommodation, spas & divine dining experiences. You are wonderful hosts all round!
Kindest regards
We found the accommodation to be of high quality standard – the decor was modern and restful, the bed super comfy the room very clean the service and attention shown to us could not be faulted. I found booking with road Trip was very easy (even when I had changed my dates).
Absolutely amazing trip thanks Alex. Just as we expected but even more.
Accommodation at Great Barrier Lodge was fantastic. Real GB hospitality and service. Food was amazing and the view was perfect. Atmosphere with all the boaties was great fun. Rental car great. Flight brilliant. Fishing beyond fabulous and caught our limit each….fish for dinner and beyond.
All in all review is “Just not long enough”
Thanks again. Great package. We will return.
Just to say thanks to you and The Road Trip for organising everything and we had a great time. Great Barrier Island is a lovely destination.
We would have no problem recommending your company to others and will keep you in mind for future trips.
We had a great trip and I think your package was definitely value for money. The accommodation was comfortable, the glass bottom boat trip and Kayaking around Donut Island were great but the highlight was Slipper Island.
Who knew paradise was just off the coast of the Coromandel. Alex and Ginny were great hosts and we loved tramping and snorkelling off the island. All in all we had a great time and would book another package through you guys.
Your package took the hassle out of me having to book individual trips and your pricing was not a million miles away when adding up the cost of all that was on our agenda. So in delivering value for money and a one stop shop – all in all a great holiday. Cheers
I just wanted to let you know how professionally everything was managed. Jenny and I had a fabulous time at Kawau Island and in the end I believe the Chopper was probably a better bet than the Sea Plane! Our Heletranz Pilots were absolutely brilliant and flew under our direction over some key site, including our home in Murrays Bay and my Retirement Village I am building in Silverdale. All up, The Beach House was fabulous and made even more so by the team running it. Relaxed, energising, brilliant food … three days of bliss.
Just want to let you know we had a great time on our trip south. We had not been so far south yet. It is one of the most beautiful areas in NZ. Glenorchy is our favourite place in NZ now.
The Doubt full sound one nighter an incredible experience. Lots of rain and lots of waterfalls. Fiordland lodge is great and so luxurious. The outdoor hot tub is spectacular. Eco lodge is an amazing place. Loved the camp concept and loved Mrs Wooly’s General store.
We will be back in Southland that is for sure.
“Theresa and I wanted to let you know we had an amazing time on our road trip! We were very pleased with the accommodation choices and the smoothness of the trip overall. Thank you for organising everything, we appreciate your hard work along with Eletra, that went into helping us prepare for this trip. I’m sure we’ll be back for round 2.”
“Duncan and I had a wonderful trip!
The accommodation was perfect and the lodge owners were amazing. The owners took such good care of us – we wanted for nothing. The food perfect, the location amazing.
Mudbrick dinner was a beautiful experience, highly recommended.
The private wine tour was a lovely way to see the island and spend the day. Chris was a wonderful host and really knowledgeable. Loved the drive.
I can’t remember where we had lunch, wouldn’t really recommend there, however that is just our opinion, and we still had a fun time.
Was a relaxing weekend, we were well looked after and very spoilt – highly recommended.
Looking forward to booking another trip with you soon.”
“It was great! We got to kayak with a pod of dolphins which was one of the highlights of our trip. Camilla’s food was amazing and Chris made us feel right at home. Thanks again!”
“We loved our whole experience and the lodges were amazing. We thought it would be hard to beat the Fiordland Lodge but of course once you walk into the riverside chalet at Milford Lodge we were blown away with the vista! Best of all it rained the day we got there so we got to see it in its full glory. The staff and owners at both were very welcoming and we would thoroughly recommend it to our friends.”
