Lap of Luxury: New Zealand and Australia luxury travel on TV
Lap of Luxury is a brand-new, locally produced, luxury travel series premiering on New Zealand’s TVNZ1 (Tuesdays at 830pm from 16th February 2021).
In a Southern Crossings first, we are proud to have partnered with Screentime NZ, and a collection of our regions’ most luxurious lodgings to provide a privileged and personalised behind-the-scenes introduction on New Zealand’s TV screens to some of the most inspiring luxury travel experiences across New Zealand and Australia.
The visually spectacular and engaging 10-week series travels on a virtual Lap of Luxury, from New Zealand’s Northland to Fiordland, and across the Tasman to Australia.
Each episode introduces a selection of iconic luxury lodges and uncovers a collection of fabulous local hidden gems through the eyes of the passionate people who know them best, and who really bring them to life! Chefs and chauffeurs, skippers and sommeliers, guides and gardeners, managers and more provide a personalised and privileged look at what gives these places their world-class wow factor!
Expect to be inspired and swept away by the magic: a combination of spectacular natural beauty, amazing architecture, inspiring interiors and heart-warming personal insights from behind the scenes that will take you on the most down to earth journey through our beautiful backyard and into the Lap of Luxury.
Congratulations to our Lap of Luxury winners: James Depree and Tasmin Harker
