Indulgence New Zealand is a country of majestic landscapes and breathtaking natural beauty; Te Ika-a-Māui (the North Island) is characterised by magnificent coastlines, lush farmland, geothermal wonders, and rich Māori culture. Dramatic scenery abounds in Te Waipounamu (the South Island), where snow-capped mountains tower over pristine lakes and fiords, and vast expanses of untouched ancient forest thrive.

The finest luxury lodges showcase outstanding locations throughout Aotearoa while offering premium, personalised experiences. Expect unparalleled comfort, exceptional hospitality, and activities tailored to meet individual needs. From stately historic homes to contemporary architectural masterpieces, these properties can be found perched on clifftops above the ocean, immersed in native forest, positioned elegantly on country estates, on the banks of mighty rivers, and on world-class golf courses.

This collection of luxury and boutique lodges will ensure your holiday is full of unique New Zealand moments and complete indulgence.

Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses This contemporary country hotel sits snugly between the Kaikōura Seaward Mountain Range and the rugged coastline of the Pacific Ocean, only a short drive north of the renowned eco-marine town of Kaikōura. The lodge provides luxurious accommodation, a place for guests to relax in the intimate indoor/outdoor setting, and a base from which to explore the maritime landscape.

The five Tree Houses are unique, nested 10m or more above the ground in a canopy of native kanuka trees and designed to complement the natural environment as your bedroom in the sky. The large windows bring the tree canopy inside and afford impressive views of the mountains and ocean. Lodge suites all offer large soaking tubs, king-size beds and

The Olive House is a freestanding building that used to house the farm’s olive press. The press has been relocated, and the building has been converted into a beautifully realised three-bedroom owners cottage that will comfortably accommodate a large family or three couples.

The area in which the lodge is located was designated on the first European maps of the district as ‘Kai Whare’, the Māori term for ‘house of food’. Today, the dining room is at the heart of the Hapuku Lodge experience.

Here you can watch the food being prepared and chat with the chefs as they plate your meal.

Wild Luxury Australia affords the discerning traveller unique opportunities to experience ancient landscapes and an Indigenous culture unlike anywhere else in the world. The great continent remains largely untamed, with lush northern rainforests, vast red deserts with rugged canyons and mountain ranges, endless pristine coastlines, and native bush teeming with strange and beautiful endemic flora and fauna.

Luxury takes many different forms in Australia – treehouses perched riverside in the Daintree Rainforest, safari-style tents and pavilions on the beach, red desert dunes, bushland and ancient coastal floodplains, tropical island retreats on the Great Barrier Reef, Barossa and Hunter Valley wine country escapes, elegant country houses in landscaped gardens, and cutting-edge design and art hotels. All are devoted to the highest standards of comfort and quality, whilst connecting guests with a genuine sense of place and offering world-class signature experiences.

B O O K I N G I N F O R M AT I O N & C O N D I T I O N S OUR AGREEMENT WITH YOU

These conditions will form part of the contract between everyone named on your confirmation invoice (‘you’) & ANZCRO (UK) (‘us’).

Your contract will be with ANZCRO (UK) which is a member of ABTA (ABTA W4337). Our ATOL number (ATOL 5571) granted by the Civil Aviation. Authority protects your air holidays and flights. In the unlikely event of insolvency, the CAA will ensure you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking.

For further information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk.

All travel arrangements are sold subject to the following booking conditions. Many of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays in this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed in this brochure. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. Please see our booking conditions for information, or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org. uk/ATOLCertificate.

BROCHURE, VALIDITY, ACCURACY & PRICE

This brochure was published September 2023 with prices shown in UK£. It is valid until the 31 March 2025. Advertised prices shown within our brochure are believed correct at the time of printing. However, for a variety of reasons (such as exchange rate variations) the price of your arrangements as confirmed at the time of booking is very likely to be different to that appearing in our brochure. In addition, despite our best efforts, errors in advertised prices and other details occasionally occur & hotel descriptions & facilities can change even after out brochure has been printed. We reserve the right to correct such errors & information. Current pricing will be advised to you at time of booking. The prices shown in this brochure have been calculated on the basis of the exchange rate applicable on 30 Dec 2019 as indicated in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies.

The price actually payable will be calculated on the basis of the exchange rates applicable at the time you make your booking.

The price may also have changed for other reasons. In order to guarantee the price of arrangements confirmed at the time of booking or any element of them (i.e. any flight(s), we may need to ask you to make full payment for the arrangements/element(s) concerned at time of booking prior to balance due date. If you fail to meet any such request, any increase(s) in the price will be passed on. It may not always be possible to guarantee the price by making payment in this way in which case any increase(s) will be passed on as set out below. Once the price of your arrangements have been confirmed at the time of booking, then subject to the correction of errors we will only increase or decrease the price in the following circumstances. Price increases or decreases after booking will be passed on by way of a surcharge or refund. A surcharge or refund (as applicable) will be payable, subject to the conditions set out in this clause, in the event of any change in our transportation costs or in dues, taxes or fees payable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at airports or in the exchange rates which have been used to calculate the cost of your holiday. Even in

134

the above cases, only if any increase in our costs excess 2% of the total cost of your arrangements (excluding any amendment charges) will we levy a surcharge. If any surcharge is greater then 10% of the total cost of your arrangements (excluding any amendment charges), you will be entitled to cancel your booking & receive a full refund of all monies you have paid to us (except for any amendment charges). A refund will only be payable if any decrease in our costs exceeds 2% as set out above. Where a refund is due, we will pay you the full amount of such decrease.

You have 14 days from the surcharge invoice issue date to tell us if you want to cancel or purchase other arrangements. If we do not hear from you within this time, we are entitled to assume that you will pay the surcharge. Any surcharge must be paid with the balance of the cost of your arrangements or within 14 days of the surcharge invoice issue date, whichever is the later. No surcharge will be levied within 30 days of your departure. No refunds will be payable if any decrease in our costs occurs within this period either.

CHANGES BY YOU

If you wish to make a change to a confirmed booking please contact your travel agent. Any changes made before departure will incur a min. charge of £50 per person. In many cases airlines require tickets to be issued on booking & where tickets have been issued changes may be treated as a cancellation. Please note: A change to the travel departure date once confirmed, is regarded as a cancellation & rebooking, not an amendment to the booking. Some suppliers, particularly airlines, whose fares may be non-refundable, may consider a name or other change to an exiting booking, as a cancellation and rebooking, with up to 100% cancellation charges.

CANCELLATIONS BY YOU

If you need to cancel a confirmed booking you must contact us in writing, either directly or through your travel agent, and the lead passenger must sign the letter. If you cancel before the balance is due, you will forfeit your deposit. Cancellations after full payment has been made will incur additional charges to cover administration & cancellation charges imposed by suppliers.

Should you cancel your confirmed booking, or part of your booking, the following cancellation charges will apply:

NOTE: These cancellation charges apply to all bookings, except in circumstances where a booking includes items or services where our suppliers cancellation charges exceed those shown above. In these circumstances any additional cancellation charges will be advised at the time of booking. Please ensure you are certain of the fees applicable to your booking by asking your travel agent or us before proceeding to book your arrangements.

Deposit plus any airline or ground operator charges

30-15 days prior to travel

CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS BY US

Arrangements are often made many months in advance.

Occasionally, we, airlines &/or suppliers have to make changes to & correct errors in published & other details both before & after bookings have been confirmed & cancel confirmed bookings.

Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes & cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so. However, we will only cancel your confirmed booking 8 weeks or less before departure where you have failed to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel or where we are forced to do so as a result of circumstances outside our control or because an insufficient number of people have booked your chosen arrangements & we have notified you of this not less than 8 weeks before departure. Most changes are minor. Occasionally, we have to make a significant change. Significant changes incl. the following changes when made before departure; a change of accommodation to that of a lower official classification or standard for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of outward departure time or overall length of time you are away of 24 or more hours or a change of UK departure point to one which is substantially more inconvenient for you (except between airports within or around the same city). If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options: (a) For significant changes accepting the changed arrangements or (b) Purchasing alternative arrangements for us, of a similar standard to those originally booked if available (if the alternative is less expensive than the original arrangements, we will refund the difference but if more expensive, we will ask you to pay the difference, or (c) Cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full refund of all monies you have paid to us.

If we have to make a significant change or cancel after the date you have to pay the balance of the cost of your arrangements, we will pay you the compensation set out below depending on the circumstances provided we have received full payment subject to the following exceptions. Compensation will not be payable & no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be accepted where we are forced to make a change or cancel as a result or unusual & unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care or where we cancel more then 8 weeks before departure because an insufficient number of people have booked your chosen arrangements. No compensation will be payable & the above options will not be available if we cancel as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of these Booking Conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time) or where any change is a minor one. A significant change or cancellation is notified to you.

DAYS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE COMPENSATION PER PERSON 56 days or more 55 to 29 days 28 to 14 days 14 or less

Nil. £10 £20 £30

Very rarely, we may be forced by “force majeure” to change or terminate your arrangements after departure but before the scheduled end of your time away. This is extremely unlikely but if this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any refunds from our suppliers), pay you any compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.

OUR LIABILITY

(a) Packages: We are responsible for ensuring your package holiday is of a reasonable standard & as described to you. If any part fails to reach this standard & affects the enjoyment of your holiday, we will offer reasonable compensation providing it is not due to events outside our control.

We will pay compensation equivalent to that which would be awarded in an English Court, but will not offer compensation if the injury, illness or death is caused by your own fault or the fault of someone unconnected with the package, or an event that could not have been expected or avoided even with all due care. In respect of international carriage by air or ea our liability in all cases will be limited in the manner permitted by international conventions. You may ask for copies of these on written request to our offices. (b) Other Travel Arrangements: When acting only as a booking agent ANZCRO (UK) has no liability whatsoever for any aspect of the travel arrangements & accepts no liability for any loss, personal injury or death however incurred, except where caused by our own proven negligence.

COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE

If you have a problem during the course of your holiday, you must inform the supplier of the service, plus a representative whose details we have provided, or telephone our offices immediately as failure to do so may reduce or extinguish any possible claim. We will endeavour to put things right as soon as possible. We will acknowledge all complaints on their receipt & deal with them promptly & efficiently. Any disputes which cannot be amicably settled may (if the client wishes) be referred to arbitration under a special scheme which although devised by arrangement with the ABTA, is administered independently by IDRS, part of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme does not apply for amounts greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking. Neither does it apply to claims that are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness.

The application for arbitration must be made within nine months of the date of return to the United Kingdom, but in special circumstances it may still be offered outside this period. Alternatively, you may wish to take any dispute to the Small Claims Court. Full details of the Arbitration Scheme can be obtained from ABTA, 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ.

DATA PROTECTION POLICY
