Top class hotels. Only the Christchurch hotel did not have a freezer section in the fridge - which meant the ice packs for my insulin could not be frozen.
The staff in all the hotels were excellent and professional.
The meals were well presented and tasty. The rooms presented beautifully. Interesting views too.

**Enchanting Northland Tour Tips:**
- This tour is great if you want a magical, yet quick escape to soak up the sun – but it needn't end after 5 days, as our [10-day Northern Trail](https://hakatours.com/haka-plus-tours/10-day-north/) or [24-day Ultimate NZ](https://hakatours.com/haka-plus-tours/24-day/) tour also departs Auckland and takes in a huge array of highlights.
- Optional activities can be pre-booked or purchased on the road - just let your tour guide know. We can't always guarantee availability when booking on the road, so we suggest pre-booking any activities you especially want to do.
