Bev & John Blackham

The Milford track, Abel Tasman, Muller hut at Mount Cooke, Tongariro crossing and many of the other walks you suggested were stunning. New Zealand is such a well organised country and the people so friendly and the roads so empty.
The car hire worked well and we’re pleased we decided not to have a camper van with the mileage we were travelling a car is so much easier.
Again many thanks to you for the hard work you have put in to making our holiday a success and the link up with Emma and Josh went really well.

Silver Fern Holidays arranged excellent accommodation for us, with a good mixture of hotels, B&Bs and a farm stay.
There were many highlights but some stand out: a walk through the rainforest in Abel Tasman National Park, with stunning views of the sea; a night on a boat on Doubtful Sound, and watching the sunrise over Mount Cook reflected in the still waters of Lake Matheson at Fox Glacier.
Silver Fern Holidays gave us excellent guidance and advice and we have no hesitation in recommending them to others planning a visit to New Zealand.

The Million Dollar cruise on Lake Wakatipu was absolutely brilliant – the guide was very knowledgeable and we would highly recommend this trip.
Our meal on the Mission Estate was one of the best meals of the holiday and the gardens at Hamilton were a real surprise.
But the main highlight has to have been the Milford Mariner overnight cruise – not the best of weather, we couldn’t get out on the kayaks – but a wonderful experience.

The couple on the stand were very knowledgable and helpful with the planning of our holiday. Laura Ling our contact was very helpful and easy to talk to when planning our trip. She took a keen interest in us and our holiday requirements.
Very impressed with detailed itinerary and how it was presented.

The attention to detail given by Laura Ling was second to none I would have no hesitation in booking another holiday through Laura.
I cannot wait until I am able to return to NZ. Well, that was indeed the holiday of a lifetime… but we want a re run! There is still so much we want to see and do.
Many thanks for all your efforts, it all went swimmingly.

John's knowledge of New Zealand is incredible and his recommendations about bases, accommodation, excursions and fun activities were all spot-on for us - and for our budget.
We covered both islands, taking in 10 areas, and the well-planned, detailed itinerary, which included driving times, accurate directions and precise arrangements for car hire, internal flights and transfers, ran like clockwork. Nothing was too much trouble for Silver Fern - even when circumstances dictated that we had to cancel everything and rebook it all later.
We have fantastic 60th birthday trip memories of our stay in New Zealand and Singapore. Every bit of it was special!
Thank you, Silver Fern! We will be back soon, asking you to organise another trip for us!
