We've been speaking to Zealandia Ecosanctuary about their new day tours.

An interesting article about Mount Taranaki gaining "living person" status.

Lovely to have a mention in this article on Mahu Whenua Ridgeline Homestead & Eco Sanctuary. The estate stretches from the outskirts of Wanaka to the outskirts of Queenstown and the Homestead is completely off grid, making it a fabulous place to relax and get a way from it all.

A conspiracy theory is underfoot in NZ! Comedian Rhys Darby and the NZ prime minister have launched a campaign to #GetNZontheMap as the country's often missing. We're joining the cause! If you find an example please post it below - Paul's promising lots of NZ chocolate for the best one found!

A stand off between cattle and Sally! Her NZ adventures took a pause whilst Kiwi farmers made the most of a bank holiday and moved their stock down the main State Highway!

Sally's out exploring Whangapoua Bay, near New Chum Beach on the Coromandel Peninsula. These photos were taken on a Saturday afternoon in the school holidays - busy eh!

Wonderful service from Paul who tailor made our recent trip to NZ. Incredibly friendly and efficient service. The information provided down to the directions to accommodation is absolutely spot on. Contacts on the NZ side just as helpful and friendly. Cannot recommend enough - perfect! Thanks all, we had an absolutely fantastic holiday!

Wonderful service from Paul in Buxton. The tailor made Holiday he put together for our recent trip to NZ was amazing. We had a fantastic holiday in New Zealand including stops in Singapore on the way over and Hong Kong coming back. Every detail was spot on . Met some incredibly friendly people in lovely accommodation as recommended by Paul. The information provided down to the directions to accommodation and sightseeing trips is absolutely priceless. Contacts on the NZ side just as helpful and friendly. Cannot fault anything he recommended apart from the unreliable NZ weather.Would highly recommend and use again . Knows NZ inside out and provides excellent service.

Sally, Rebecca Gill, and everyone at NZ In Depth were great to work with - they helped us reroute & reschedule when we couldn't land in Queenstown due to weather and then had to work around South Island historic flooding. We were able to do everything on our itinerary that we'd hoped - it was a fantastic trip - with zip lining, penguin and seal sightings, shark catching (wild card, that's not supposed to happen) - and incredible, unforgettable trips on Doubtful Sound and the TranzAlpine train Christchurch to Greymouth. Plus beautiful hotels & B&Bs!

Sally was amazing. She put together a fantastic trip of a lifetime for my husband and myself. She completely understands the New Zealand country and nuances that make the details of a trip all come together. Sally somehow managed to show us the heart of the Kiwi's. Thank you Sally Lilly....

Paul from New Zealand in Depth tailored our itinerary to our timescales and preferences. Their recommendations and advice were spot on. Worth their commission to avoid doing all the research and booking; also nice to have someone to call if there was any problem. Had a great holiday as a result!

Best holiday ever! Nothing was too much trouble for Harriet. Advice, arrangements, accommodation and destinations were all perfect. We would recommend New Zealand in Depth 100% to anyone. I just don't know how they managed to make the sun shine for 32 days!!!

A perfectly planned trip. Precision definitely the order of the day. This really is a company that knows how to tailor-make a holiday and meet the needs and expectations of their clients.
