New Zealand

Dunedin may be a small student city at heart, but this heritage hotspot sure knows how to punch above its weight when it comes to drinking and dining. 

Home to urban art galleries, craft beers bars, and an eclectic mix of Kiwis, Dunedin's far more than New Zealand's 'student city'.

Auckland never ceases to amaze. Vibrant eateries, exciting experiences and luxury stays are all just a beat away in the heart of Auckland. Look no further, at just over a 3-hour flight, it's perfect for a weekend escape. 

It’s Flight Centre’s 40th birthday and they want to celebrate by shouting 40 holidays. 

New Zealand—home to endlessly picturesque scenery, Taika Waititi and accents often confused for our own. Also, one of Australia’s favourite holiday destinations, and with good reason. It’s been a hot minute since Queenslanders hopped on a plane and went on what felt like a proper holiday. But now, with the recently introduced quarantine-free travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand, that dream of safely getting on a plane and escaping the country is once again a reality. From Brisbane Airport, you can now fly internationally with confidence, without the hassle of hotel quarantine and with the knowledge that additional safety measures are in place for you and yours.

QT Hotels & Resorts know we don't want to leave our pets behind on holidays—so they're letting you bring them with you. 

New Zealand truly is an amazing spot for hot springs due to a mass amount of volcanic activity, especially in the Taupo and Rotorua regions. The geothermal energy radiating from these places often make for the best sightseeing and relaxation spots. There’s something about visiting a natural geothermal area that leaves you feeling cleansed, refreshed and connected to the earth again. Whether it’s witnessing the healing mineral waters, steaming blue and orange waters, exploding geysers, or boiling hot mud pools, it’s pretty marvellous.

It's time to shade up, splash in the ocean and toast yourself dry in the sun.
