SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER 2020

Thursday 30 Sept/07 Oct/14 Oct :        (D)

We are picked up from our home anywhere in the greater Auckland, Tauranga or Christchurch areas and taken to the airport to join our short flight to Wellington.  On arrival we are met by our coach and driver and enjoy a drive around the rugged and scenic bays of Wellington Harbour before checking into our 4 star central Hotel—Novotel  Wellington.  The remainder of the day is at leisure.

Enjoy an early dinner at the hotel before the highlight of our stay in Wellington.  We are transferred to the TSB Bank Arena where will enjoy  a  non-stop two hour spectacular Wearable Arts Show !!  Step into a world where art and the human form combine, where dance,  music and lighting tell a story of the body as a canvas, where the lines of fashion and art blur and merge as one.

We have secured Platinum tickets to ensure great views of the show and have included a complimentary souvenir programme. What a night to remember!!!!

Friday 01 Oct/08 Oct/15 Oct:                (BD) 

We have left today free for you to enjoy the sights and sounds of this lovely city.    A visit to Te Papa & The Dominion Museum is a must !  Perhaps a visit to the many other museums & galleries, a free tour of Parliament Building, take a cable car ride to the Botanical Gardens……there is so much to see and do !

Saturday 26 Sept/03 Oct/10 Oct:          (BLD)   

After our buffet breakfast we join our coach for a wonderful day spent in the scenic Wairarapa. We’ll enjoy some fabulous  scenery today along with some time in Martinborough, a quirky little village with a majestic square at its heart.  The  Martinborough Hotel takes pride of place at the entrance to the square.   Developer Edmund Buckeridge described it in 1882 as “one of the finest  hostelries  ever  erected in any inland town in New Zealand”.  It’s then onto historic Greytown with its carefully restored Victorian buildings and top-notch shops.  Time for some retail therapy before we coach to the historic  Gladstone Inn where we enjoy lunch with a glass of wine, beer or fruit juice.  Return to Wellington late in the afternoon.

Sunday 27 Sept/04 Oct/11 Oct:              (B)              

Another delicious buffet breakfast awaits us this morning and then time to enjoy some personal sightseeing or shopping.

We will be asked to check out this morning but luggage will be stored at the hotel.  Early afternoon we will be picked up from the hotel and taken back to the airport for  our short flight home. On arrival at our homeport we will be met and taken back to our home addresses in the greater Auckland, Tauranga or Christchurch areas.
