The tour of the set was excellent. The place is a well oiled machine from ticket office to bus ride etc. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the movies and all other aspects . The movie set was awesome and the gardens amazing . Even if you’re not a movie buff the experience and sheer brilliance of PJ et al is totally worth it . Having a drink ( free) at the Green Dragon ???? was fantastic.

Fiordland Lodge and Doubtful Sound. Fantastic ferry ride across Lake Manapouri and bus ride over the Wilmot Pass to board the Fiordland Navigator for 2 nights. 3 sunny, calm days to relax on board, spoiled by the chef's lovely food and Courtney's very knowledgeable commentary about the Sounds, history, wildlife, birdlife and little things like having complete silence in the Sound to enjoy the peace and look at the amazing mountains and their reflections in the calm water. An unexpected run out into the Tasman Sea was a bonus. The Fiordland Lodge is an American style Lodge built with lots of logs and wood and stone, very spacious. Friendly helpful staff. Located 6km from Te Anau. Our only concern was the lack of food choice for dinner, on a 3 course meal was offered, no light meals. The breakfast (included) was lovely, as was all the food, some interesting variations in tastes.

Roger and Maxwell Services have picked me up on numerous occasions as my corporate transfer provider for business trips over the last few months. Both I and several of my other work colleagues have found Roger and his employees to be nothing but professional, prompt and so helpful. Thank you for going out of your way to drop my luggage to my airport accommodation and organizing one of your drivers to collect me after the netball game recently, this was over and above what was expected and showed that you are just more than a 'business' that you care and look after your customers. It is well and truly appreciated and I will always recommend you to anyone who requires services of this type in Auckland. Thank you once again Roger! Steph
