    The wife and I are going to go to New Zealand, Bali, and Phuket for our 40 anniversary. I have found your web site most helpful of all that I have read. The (2) 10 day road trips is what I think we will use a a guide in New Zealand. One question is over-night accommodations for the most part, has been left out. Are there recommendations for each place that we could book well in advance?

    We plan on going Feb of 2023 so we have some time, but i feel that time will fly by as we plan.

    Thank you and stay well

      Hi Jim! Rhea of Rhea’s Travels contributed this post — I would recommend reaching out to her. I believe a lot of the accommodations are camping/parking/hostels along the way to keep it very budget-friendly. That said, I’m sure there are a lot of other accommodation options, depending on what you’re after.

    Hi,
    I wanted to ask what’s the quality of roads like in New zealand? I’ve tried to find out from many sources but no one seems to know, or talk about it.

      Hi Rahm! I’m sure it depends on where you are, some roads might be very well taken care of and others might not be. Depends where you’re driving.

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
