New Zealand Independent Budget Travel
Design your own holiday from an exciting programme of individual and independent package holidays using regular Coach, Train and Ferry services. You will be travelling independently without an escort, meeting different guests and friendly, helpful driver guides daily.
Operating every day, your transportation, hotel or motel accommodation and essential sightseeing are all arranged. Transfers between trains, coaches and your accommodation are provided.
The accommodation has been chosen to fit the criteria of value for money, central location, and guest services provided. All properties include TV and telephone in room, laundering facilities, and breakfast available on site.
The levels of accommodation are:
- Standard - Clean, comfortable, value for money accommodation
- Superior - Tourist properties with full facilities on site.
- Deluxe - First class tourist properties providing excellent locations and services.
Meals are not included when you are staying in hotels and motels - this leaves you free to explore and sample the wide variety of local restaurants and cafes.
