ANZCRO launches new luxury Australia and New Zealand collection

ANZCRO has launched a new Australia and New Zealand Luxury Collection, with more high-value, experience-led itineraries.

In New Zealand, itineraries include accommodation at The Lindis in the Ahuriri Valley combined with heli-hiking experiences, and Central Otago wine trails incorporating stays in off-grid glass accommodation PurePods.

There are now 16 PurePods in the collection, up from one in the previous programme. ANZCRO said the increase ‘reflects growing demand for unique, experience-driven stays over traditional luxury hotels’.

Established properties such as Huka Lodge and Rosewood Matakauri are included as part of wider itineraries, alongside options such as overnight cruises in Milford Sound.

In Australia, the programme features Capella Lodge on Lord Howe Island; Longitude 131° in the Northern Territory and Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island. Also new are Sal Salis and Spicers Sangoma Retreat.

Sales Director Shubhra Halliday said: “It’s about creating journeys that feel personal and immersive.

“Travellers want to step away from the everyday and properly connect with a destination. For agents, this gives them the inspiration and the tools to build something that feels genuinely tailored – not just a collection of nice hotels.”

The Australia and New Zealand Luxury Collection runs throughout 2026 and is available in digital format here or in print via Tradegate.
