Retirement is your time to explore the world with comfort, style, and freedom. If you're looking for a destination that blends breathtaking scenery, luxury experiences, and personalised travel at your pace, New Zealand should be at the top of your list.


At Amazing NZ Itineraries, we specialise in customised, premium self-drive and chauffeur-driven holidays designed for travellers who value comfort, flexibility, and unforgettable experiences—particularly those enjoying their well-earned retirement.


1. Travel at Your Pace, Your Way

The best way to see New Zealand is on your own terms. Whether you enjoy the independence of a beautifully planned self-drive holiday or prefer the ease of a private chauffeur, we’ll design your itinerary around your comfort, interests, and travel style.

No group tours. No rigid schedules. Just your journey—your way.





2. Tailored Itineraries for Comfort and Ease

Every traveller is unique. We create fully personalised itineraries based on your pace, preferences, and mobility. Whether you’re into fine food and wine, scenic photography, nature walks, or Lord of the Rings filming locations, your trip will be designed around what you love.

While we work with a range of clients, many of our guests are retirees seeking a slower pace and high-quality, meaningful travel.





3. 4-Star and 5-Star Accommodation with Style and Variety

We work exclusively with 4-star and 5-star properties, offering a wide range of premium options to suit your travel style. Whether you prefer a charming bed and breakfast, a stylish self-catering apartment, a boutique hotel, or a luxury lodge nestled in nature, we hand-pick every stay for its quality, comfort, and character.


4. World-Class Scenery Without the Crowds

New Zealand is packed with natural beauty—alpine peaks, turquoise lakes, coastal drives, lush forests—all without the crowds you might find in more mainstream destinations. You’ll often feel like you have the country to yourself, whether you're behind the wheel or enjoying the view with your chauffeur.




5. Safe, English-Speaking, and Welcoming

A favourite among international travellers from the UK, USA, and Canada, New Zealand is known for being one of the safest and friendliest places on Earth. The locals are warm and helpful, healthcare is excellent, and the entire country is easy to navigate.


6. We Handle Everything Within New Zealand

We make your journey completely seamless by taking care of every detail within New Zealand. This includes:

  • Car rental or private chauffeur services

  • Domestic travel like ferries, internal flights & train journeys

  • All accommodation bookings (4-star and above)

  • Excursions, sightseeing, and exclusive activities

  • Dining recommendations

  • Read some of our reviews from happy clients on Trip Advisor.


You’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-follow itinerary and on-the-ground support, so you can relax and enjoy your time here without a worry.
