hello - help with holiday to new zealand

Options
I am trying to plan a holiday to New Zealand and need some help please. Does anyone know of a company in Northern Ireland that would be able to help me plan my flights and organise a motorhome for me. I want a company that will help me with any problems I may come across trying to book a good quality motor home from insurance to paying for the tax on diesel etc and what ever else is involved. Is there a comany here that specialize in this
sort of holiday?

    In this day and age, most people would just use the internet to research and book something like this.

    Cheers, Des.

    Try Trailfinders. They have a shop in Belfast City Centre - but use the 'Submit an enquiry' form on the website, tell them what you want, and they'll call you within 24 hours.
  • Thanks for the help.

    It's been 6 years since we were there and we used trailfinders. However I think you get more from talking to people who have been there.

    At the time we booked round the world tickets with star alliance as it meant we could do a number of stopovers on the way there at a reasonable cost.

    We also hired a car while there and it was very cheap. A motorhome sounds brilliant. One thing to note is that those turning right get priority over those turning left into the same road. It takes a bit of getting used too.

    We only visited the North Island but I would really recommend the thermal baths which there are loads off and Hot Water beach on the Corromandel pinisula. (Basically you dig a hole in the sand and it fills with hot spring water - not something you see every day - it's close to Tairua.)

    I hope you really enjoy your trip.

    Might a contact in NZ be more helpful? I came across a wonderful guide in NZ when I was there 3 months ago, she was also a practical problem-solver. Will PM the details.
