I have just returned from another quick trip to NZ and a highlight for me was a road trip to Hobbiton Village, the movie set as featured in the Lord of the rings and the Hobbit Trilogies. It is maintained exactly as it was in the Hobbit movie shots and a 2 hour guided tour is really worth including in your NZ itinerary. It is in the Waikato region, approx. 2 and ½ hours drive south from Auckland and a worthwhile stop enroute to Rotorua. It is very clever and the farm it is on is beautiful. Just saying …..if you are looking for something inspirational and different.

There are some smattering of departures on the Indian Pacific for this year we are highlighting for you. These continually change so it is worth checking on them if you are interested. There are a few last minute departures this month if you can make it at such short notice. Gold Service twin is a comfortable sleeper cabin featuring private ensuite and upper and lower berths. There are a few Platinum cabins in June and then November onwards. These offer sleeping on one level (as opposed to bunk beds) and are very luxurious. The lounge car has a warm and welcoming atmosphere and a very comfortable dining car. It is a good quick getaway. See the video.
We can also offer Margaret River tours to complement your trip.
