Honeymoons in New Zealand
Luxury, Romance, and Adventure – Tailored to You
"The best honeymoons are more than just impressive settings; they are well considered. I bring deep local knowledge and a thoughtful design process to help you choose the right places to stay, the best ways to travel, and the experiences that make it truly yours".
"Design a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon that reflects your vision. Curated by a local travel designer who knows how to blend wild beauty with world-class luxury"
From stargazing in remote wilderness lodges to sharing a private heli-picnic above a glacier-fed lake, New Zealand is made for unforgettable honeymoons. With 30+ years of experience and deep local knowledge, I craft personalised journeys that are effortless, romantic, and uniquely yours.
Why New Zealand is the
Ultimate Honeymoon Destination
Whether you're dreaming of dramatic landscapes, boutique luxury, or peaceful moments in nature — New Zealand offers it all. With stunning diversity packed into one destination, your honeymoon can flow seamlessly from alpine adventures to vineyard tastings and coastal hideaways.
I work with couples who want to do something different. Not just tick off sights, but soak in experiences — and know that every moment has been carefully considered.
How your Honeymoon is Designed
Every honeymoon I design starts with getting to know you, your style, your pace, and the kind of experiences
you want to share together.
From there, I curate exceptional stays, immersive adventures, and take care of every detail so your trip feels seamless, personal, and completely your own.
Whether you're dreaming of two weeks exploring New Zealand or blending it with a few days of tropical luxury in Fiji, your itinerary will be crafted with care, creativity, and a deep understanding of what makes a journey unforgettable.

Explore some of my favourite places and honeymoon moments
Stay Somewhere Unforgettable
Romantic Luxury Lodges
New Zealand is home to some of the world’s most extraordinary lodges — each one offering something completely distinct.
At The Lindis, glass-walled pods sit low in the Ahuriri Valley, surrounded by silence, stars, and sweeping high-country views. Minaret Station is only accessible by helicopter, tucked deep within an alpine valley where luxury meets raw wilderness.
Over on the coast, Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses blends striking architecture with native bush and ocean views, offering treetop stays just minutes from Kaikōura’s marine life.
These are just a few of the unforgettable places I recommend — each handpicked for its style, setting, and sense of something special.
Scenery That Takes your Breath Away
Scenic Landscapes
New Zealand’s landscapes are as varied as they are dramatic — shifting from alpine lakes and glacier valleys to ancient forests, active volcanoes, and deep coastal fiords.
Paddle through the still waters of Milford Sound, spend the night in the quiet of Doubtful Sound, or take a day hike on the Kepler or Rob Roy Track for panoramic mountain views.
Explore the crater lakes of the Tongariro Crossing, or cruise through the sheltered coves of the Marlborough Sounds, where native bush meets open water.
It’s this range — and how naturally it all connects — that makes exploring here so unforgettable.
Go Beyond Extraordinary
Signature Experiences
New Zealand is home to some of the world’s most remarkable experiences — and many of them are easier to access than you’d think.
Fly by helicopter to a mountain-top above Queenstown, where a private picnic is set against sweeping views of the Southern Alps.
Swim alongside wild Hector’s dolphins in Akaroa, hike across the ice on the Tasman Glacier, or set sail through the Bay of Islands on a privately chartered yacht.
These are the kinds of experiences that elevate a honeymoon — personal, unexpected, and impossible to forget.
Flavours to Fall In Love With
A Taste of New Zealand
From garden-to-plate cuisine at the country’s finest lodges to vineyard lunches and cooking with local produce, food is a highlight of the New Zealand experience.
At Huka Lodge, multi-course dinners are paired with fine wines and river views, while at Wharekauhau Country Estate, the kitchen draws from more than 100 estate-grown ingredients to create seasonal, farm-to-table dishes with real depth. Enjoy a degustation-style ‘Trust the Chef’ menu or explore nearby Wairarapa wineries for bold Pinot Noirs and local artisan fare.
Vineyard favourites like Amisfield offer modern regional dining in alpine settings, and boutique experiences like Hapuku Kitchen let you cook with what’s just been picked from the garden.
Every meal feels considered — and every flavour, distinctly New Zealand
Sip Swirl & Soak it In
New Zealand's Boutique Wine Experiences
These aren’t just wine tastings, they’re leisurely, immersive experiences where exceptional wine meets unforgettable settings.
On Waiheke Island, private tours lead to coastal cellar doors and relaxed long lunches overlooking the vines.
In Central Otago, heli-wine tastings take you to remote ridgelines in Gibbston or Bannockburn. At Gibbston Valley, step inside the hillside wine cave for a tasting experience that’s as memorable as the Pinot.
New Zealand’s signature Sauvignon Blanc shines in Marlborough, home to boutique producers and vibrant cellar doors. In Hawke’s Bay, grand estates and contemporary wineries come together in a region known as much for its architecture and food pairings as for its award-winning Syrah.
