New Zealand Staycations & Self-Drive Experiences With IHG

We've never stopped dreaming, and neither have you. With travel restrictions easing and an insatiable desire to get out and explore, IHG is getting ready to welcome guests back with open (but socially distant) arms at hotels and resorts across New Zealand and Australia. Created under the 'There's More to See' campaign, these experiences are designed to inspire travellers to rediscover the magic in New Zealand's great backyard.

There's More to See will offer travellers the choice of two packages:

• Stay 3, Pay 2: encouraging guests to explore more and pay less, guests will receive one night complimentary for every three nights booked
• Breakfast & Parking on Us: ideal for self-drive travels, guests will receive complimentary daily parking and daily breakfast for two with their stay

The campaign is live today, valid for bookings made until 31 July and stay dates 3 June to 30 December 2020.

Importantly, guests will book with full confidence. IHG continues to lead the market with flexible booking conditions; 'Breakfast & Parking on Us' requires no deposit, and both offers are fully flexible up to one day before the stay date.
