Deal of the week: Taste of Tasmania

Travel to Tasmania before the year is over, and save up to $245pp on selected departures of a Tassie East Coast Highlights tour—on which you’ll experience Bridestowe Estate’s famous lavender icecream, a guided walk in Freycinet National Park and Port Arthur. Priced from $1550pp, this package includes transport, accommodation, sightseeing, many meals and an experienced tour director. Departures between September and December.

Cambodia and Vietnam

Venture into the mountainous far north when visiting Vietnam and Cambodia to see the colourful hill tribe people; take in the organised-chaos of the floating markets on the Mekong Delta in the south and spend three days in Siem Reap during this almost two-week-long journey. Tour departs from Auckland on October 22 and includes all your flights, hotel accommodation, transport, sightseeing and activities, all breakfasts and most lunches and dinners. Priced from $6980pp, twin-share, book as soon as possible to secure your place.

Lodge Life

Treat yourselves to a Lodge Life Special at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers in Hawke’s Bay, or The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs in Northland, which boast luxurious spa facilities, award-winning golf courses and gourmet food and wines. The package is available until the end of September and includes reduced winter rates for two, and a nightly room-credit of $400, which can be spent on a variety of activities. Packages start at $1750-a-night for a room, twin-share, plus 15 per cent GST.
