How to use this Website


Location
For this website, New Zealand has been divided into 7 main regions. At the beginning of each region on the website you will find a regional map showing the key locations within that region. These also relate to the location of some of the holiday homes featured. We suggest you first decide on where you would like to go on holiday and then the location where you would prefer to stay e.g. Northland, Russell.

Holiday Home Selection
Having decided on both the region and location, we then suggest you make your holiday home selection based on the information provided and the photo. When making your selection remember to take into consideration the maximum number the property sleeps, the price range and any specific requirements you may have eg: fireplace. The holiday homes have specific details that are listed at the bottom of each section under "Details".

To help you we have provided some quick reference icons, as shown below, for three of the most common requests we receive. They are: is there a phone; are pets allowed; and is there a fireplace ?

Property Reference Numbers
Property Reference Numbers Beside each property location there is a four digit code which is our Reference Number for that particular holiday home. Whenever you are making an enquiry about a specific holiday home please quote this Reference Number.

Dates & Length of Stay
Most of the holiday home can be booked from any day of the week subject to availability, but during the High Season, bookings are usually a minimum of 7 nights and usually start and end on a Saturday or Sunday. Similarly, whilst our price guides are based on 7 night stays or longer, most of the Holiday Homes welcome shorter stays outside the usual High Season and we have many guests enjoying 2 or 3 night weekends during the year. Please note these shorter stays are priced by us on application.

To Make a Booking
When you have decided on which holiday homes you would like to book for your holiday, complete the Online Enquiry Form or else you may prefer to contact us directly at New Zealand Holiday Homes (ph: 09 585 2300), we will take your details and check with the owner that the holiday home is available. Once we have confirmed that the holiday home is available you will then need to complete the Booking Form on the Enquiry Page.

We recommend that you read the "How to book your Holiday" below and our "Terms & Conditions"

Address, Key Collection / Drop Off & Payments
Once your holiday home is booked, we will send you a final confirmation which details the address of the home as well as the name and phone number of our local contact agent who will arrange your check-in and check-out plus give you any specific instructions on how to find the holiday home. They will often know local information on what there is to see and do, and items like where the nearest store is.

How to book a Holiday Home


Making an Enquiry
Firstly we suggest you make an enquiry using our Online Enquiry Form that you will find under BOOK A HOLIDAY HOME, or you may prefer to phone us here in the Auckland office on +64 (0) 9 585 2300.

When making an enquiry please let us know your holiday requirements including your choice of destination, the property ref number(s) if known, your proposed holiday dates, the number of guests and a $ budget range.

Please Note: We are here during normal business hours, if phoning but we have an answer phone system for after hours calls.

Booking a Holiday Home
Once you have decided on a Holiday Home and NZHH have confirmed the availability, you will need to complete our Online Booking Form ( 24KB). Print this Booking Form, and fill out including the mandatory credit card security bond, and fax it to us (+64 (0)9 585 2303). Alternatively, you can post it to us together with your cheque for the deposit or full payment (PO Box 25 344, St Heliers, Auckland 1130, New Zealand).

Please Note: Full payment is required if the commencement date of the holiday is less than 30 days away.

Paying for your Holiday Home
You can pay for your Holiday Home by either Cheque, Bank Cheque, Bank Transfer or by Visa or Mastercard Card.

To confirm your holiday booking a 25% deposit is required plus the mandatory bond completed, with the balance due 30 days before the commencement date of the holiday.

Please Remember: if the holiday is less than 30 days away, full payment is required to confirm your holiday booking.

Mandatory Credit Card Bond
For all holiday bookings, whether paid by Cheque, Bank Cheque, Bank Transfer or Credit Card, we still require the Mandatory Credit Card Security Bond details completed as are detailed on the actual Booking Form. This is to cover any damage caused to the holiday home or additional expenses incurred for such items as cleaning, telephone toll charges and breakages.

If you do not have a credit card we would need an alternative bond, which could either be a cheque or cash deposit. This would be cancelled/refunded 7 days after completion of your holiday stay. Please note, all additional charges will incur an additional 5% administration fee (minimum charge of $5).

Linen Surcharge

  • Nearly all the holiday homes have pillows, blankets or duvets available as stated in the Holiday Home Details. This means that you will need to take your own sheets, pillowcases as well as all towels including tea towels.
  • Most of the holiday homes have Linen On Request i.e. sheets and pillowcases and usually includes towels for in-house use. However this will incur a small per head charge. Please note, if linen is required this must be requested at the time of booking your holiday with NZHH.
  • Some of the holiday homes have All Linen Supplied i.e. pillows, blankets or duvets, sheets and pillowcases and usually the towels for in-house use are all supplied. However this needs to confirmed at the time of booking as a surcharge may still apply for the washing of the linen following your departure.

Pets on Request
On request, many of the holiday homes will allow a well behaved pet, but this is at the sole discretion of the owner. If allowed, "a surcharge of $20.00 is normally charged on a per pet per week basis. If you wish to take a pet this must be requested at the time of booking your holiday with NZHH.
