From today until August 22, travellers can score one-way fares to New Zealand starting from $259.
The promotion has been launched to celebrate the end of actress Lynne McGranger’s appearance on Home & Away after three decades.
McGranger has played the strong-willed Irene Roberts on Home & Away for 33 years, making her the longest-serving female actress in an Australian drama. Earlier this month, she won a Gold Logie for most popular television personality.
“You’ve spent three decades working hard to entertain Aussies and Kiwis alike, and we know you’re going to want to put your feet up,” said René de Monchy, Tourism New Zealand Chief Executive.
“So to celebrate your retirement from the show we’ve designed the ideal vacation just for you.”
Sale highlights include:
# Sydney – Wellington from $259 one way
# Melbourne – Auckland from $269 one way
# Brisbane – Christchurch from $269 one way
# Perth – Auckland / Christchurch / Wellington from $545 one way.
“There’s no better time for retirees to visit than spring; the waterfalls in Milford Sound are likely to be in full display, you can spot humpback whales off the coast of Kaikōura and temperatures are just right to tackle some of our easier nature walks,” added de Monchy.
