The ‘2 Easy’ campaign spotlights ‘2 Nights Auckland. 2 Nights Rotorua. 2 Easy’ as a key component of a New Zealand holiday, showcasing an effortless, exciting way to discover the bucket-list destinations over a short break or long weekend.

The short flight across the Tasman lands in Auckland for the ultimate break, where visitors will savour the world-class dining and accommodation options on offer and discover all that is unique to the region – outdoor adventure, city sights, Waiheke Island life and natural beauty. Combined with Rotorua, where you can escape into geothermal landscapes, experience Māori culture and participate in outdoor activities for all levels, these two regions offer some of the most unique travel experiences in the world.

The promotion across the two regions is for travellers booking a minimum 2 nights in Auckland and 2 nights in Rotorua to explore both destinations during the travel windows: 30 September – 15 December 2024 and 1 February – 30 May 2025. The deal offers are open until 29 November.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for our Australian neighbours to take a quick and easy trip over the Tasman and discover a whole new world of hospitality, culture and our great outdoors,” she says.
