Who we list
Real, currently operating New Zealand businesses that travellers use: places to stay, tours, activities, food and wine, transport, attractions, wellness, culture, events and travel services. Each must have its own working website. We do not list booking aggregators, closed businesses, or anything adult or gambling related.
How listings are checked
Every listing is checked against this policy before it appears. An automated agent loads the business’s website, confirms it is a New Zealand business, and writes a description using only what that website says. No invented prices, awards, ratings or reviews. Unclear cases are held back. Websites are re-checked regularly and listings whose sites stop working are taken down.
Paid plans
Businesses can pay for a Verified or Premium plan. Verified adds a badge, a logo and more categories; Premium also changes where a listing appears and adds a followed link. A plan never changes how a listing is checked or what its description says. Paid listings are clearly marked.
Photos
Until a business adds its own photos, we show one of our own photos of the area or type of business, labelled “Illustrative photo”. We never copy photos from a business’s website without permission.
Guides and safety
Our guides are researched from official and reputable sources, listed at the end of each guide. Opening hours, prices, road conditions and entry rules change, so always check with the business or the official source before you go. Guides are reviewed and updated over time.
Advertising
We show ads from Google AdSense, labelled “Advertisement”. Advertisers have no say in our listings or guides.
Corrections
If something is wrong, email support@newzealands.co.nz and we will fix it. Businesses can also correct their own listing with the claim link we send them.
