Luxury Feel, Local Price
New Zealand isn’t the cheapest destination — but your trip doesn’t have to cost a fortune to feel luxurious.
At Great Kiwi Trips, we design affordable luxury New Zealand trips that combine beautiful accommodation, meaningful experiences, and authentic local charm — without the inflated costs of group tours or high-end agencies.
🛏️ Luxury Where It Counts
We hand-pick stays that feel special — not flashy five-star hotels, but warm, stylish, and full of character. Think:
A cozy wine lodge overlooking rolling vineyards
A beach cottage just steps from the sand
An urban bolthole bursting with personality
Our focus is on value, not volume — offering quality and comfort that won’t break the bank.

🍷 Travel Like a Local, Not a Tourist
Group tours often charge more to cover big-batch meals, coach transfers, and generic experiences. We keep things independent and flexible, so:
You’re not paying for activities you don’t want
You can spend where it matters (like a vineyard lunch)
You get to support local, family-run businesses directly

💸 The Numbers Don’t Lie

All on your terms — without the markup.
