From volcanos and soaring mountain ranges to the stunning coastline, New Zealand is a country that carries with it a sense of other worldliness.
Whether your private jet hire touches down on the North or South island the sense of vastness is tangible and yet this is a country that’s also accessible and the perfect destination for a week or two’s exploration.
But why not start at Wellington, New Zealand’s capital found on the North Island? Here just a 20-30 minute drive from the airport you’ll head straight into the Central Business District and onwards to your hotel.
Stay at Wellington’s 5-star boutique hotel, Ohtel situated in the seaside neighbourhood of Oriental Bay. Suites overlook the bay and each features local art and a working record player.
Wellington itself is a fabulous mixture of nature, culture, and history topped off with a serious love of food.
Explore the waterfront, stopping for a craft beer at one of the many bars, cafes and restaurants in Oriental Bay.
Just over an hour in your private charter flight, and at the bottom of the island is Auckland. Another stop on your itinerary. Centred around two large harbours and home to 1.65 million inhabitants, Auckland is packed full of experiences waiting to be had. From star gazing on a designated dark sky island, going on whale safari to catching a ferry ride and taking a tour of the vineyards at Waiheke Island.
And like so much of New Zealand, food forms a major part of the cultural offering. The tide of immigration has brought with it cuisine from all over the world and in particular from Asia. Check out Masu, offering Japanese food with a creative twist or the unforgettable Pasture. With just six-seats at the chef’s counter you’re served the tasting menu of the season paired with local wines. Book in advance.
On to the South Island, world-renowned for its stunning lakes and glacial mountains. You might choose to have your private air charter touch down in Christchurch International Airport, a fitting base to start your South Island adventure.
Choose to stay in the city itself or why not try a night under the stars in a luxury pod, designed to give you maximum views of the night sky and surrounding vista. Food can be prepared for you or take advantage of the BBQ for an unforgettable experience.
The country enjoys a moderate climate most of the year round, though the north usually remains several degrees warmer than the south.
Plan to charter a flight between December and March for long sunny days and trips to the beach.
