Spice Up Your Travel Life with a Staycation

Listen, we get it. We all deserve a holiday after the past 2 years, but maybe we don't have the time to take a week-long getaway across the country. That's where Surprise Me Staycations by New Zealand Insight come in. All you have to do is sign up with us, and we do the work for you when it comes to booking and planning.


 

A New Zealand Insight Surprise Me Staycation includes:


· Reservations at well-reviewed accommodation

· A detailed itinerary designed to suit your travel personality

· Foodie suggestions + Dinner reservations

· Tickets to an attraction, an activity or an experience


Sounds fun, right? Well, wait until you hear how you can turn this getaway into the best Staycation ever: by following these 5 ways to spice up a Staycation this season!

 

1. TRY THINGS YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO - IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOMETOWN

Try experiencing your town’s delicious local restaurants on your Staycation.

Do you often find yourself wishing you could “get out more” and experience your town for all that it has to offer? Have you always wanted to see your home through the eyes of a tourist? How about all of the amazing restaurants you’ve been meaning to go to, are you constantly wondering which one will become your new favourite in town? Say no more, New Zealand Insight has you covered. By choosing a Surprise Me Staycation with us, you are guaranteed both a dinner reservation and a ticket to a surprise attraction, activity or experience. You will be able to see your town in a whole new light and finally cross the things you haven’t had the chance to experience off of your bucket list!

 

2. PUSH YOURSELF OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE ON YOUR PRE-TRIP SURVEY

Fill out our Pre-Trip Survey together— as your alter egos!

Are you the type that likes to experience the quieter side of life? Do you typically prefer coffee shops, reading, and spending your nights indoors? Try switching things up on your Surprise Me Staycation by filling out your Pre-Trip Survey as your extroverted alter-egos! The Pre-Trip Survey includes 100+ interests from art museums to bungy jumping and everything in-between! So, instead of selecting your typical go-to interests, choose something completely out of your comfort zone to instantly spice things up. You’ll be surprised to find out what you end up liking. For extra fun, dress up in a way that you normally wouldn’t and make a whole experience of it!

 

3. ORDER A ROOM SERVICE FEAST

Order some delicious breakfast to start your day.

Going out for meals is fun, but so is dining in at your luxury overnight accommodations. If you’re in the mood for a grand, decadent breakfast, lunch, or dinner, look no further than the menu on your nightstand. Enjoy a full-fledged feast (complete with drinks!) delivered right to your room for a deliciously indulgent upgrade to any romantic getaway.





 

4. TAKE A STAYCATION IN A NEARBY CITY

Why not see what other cities have to offer?

If you really want to spice up your next Staycation with New Zealand Insight, try enjoying what another city has to offer by booking your Surprise Me Staycation in a different but close location. Do you live in Tauranga, but have always been curious about staying in nearby Rotorua? We suggest planning your next weekend getaway in a nearby city (within a reasonable driving distance, of course) for a fun twist. Explore what a completely different place has to offer as if you were a local yourself!

 

5. CELEBRATE A NEW MILESTONE

Celebrate the little things with Pack Up + Go!

Did you just get a raise at work? Did you cross something important off of your bucket list, such as running a marathon? Have you recently won an award? Why not celebrate with a Surprise Me Staycation? A lot of people celebrate engagements, honeymoons, and birthdays with Staycations, so, why not show some love to other milestones as well with a relaxing getaway in the comfort of your own hometown? A Surprise Me Staycation is truly the best way to reward yourself, even if you don’t have the time to take a week-long trip across the country. You deserve to be pampered for your accomplishments, let us at New Zealand Insight help you with that by booking a Surprise Me Staycation with us.

 

SO, IF YOU WANT TO PUT A FUN TWIST ON A CLASSIC STAYCATION, FEEL FREE TO USE ANY OF THESE IDEAS TO DEFINITELY SPICE THINGS UP.

You can truly never go wrong with a fun Surprise Me Staycation from New Zealand Insight.
