"Thank you for everything!  Everyone did an amazing job." (Surprise Marriage Proposal) ~ Sebastian ~ Australia

"Thanks for your fun gift we got at the restaurant and for pulling things together at last minute" ~ Sav & Lisa Schulman ~ Auckland

This Geraldine Getaway is awesome.  All these words sum up the whares: private, warm, clean, all-day sun, comfy bed, luxury items throughout, lovely breakfast, outdoor bath, plush robes and slippers, Netflix.  A wonderful place to go to chill out, having an outdoor bath under the stars and moon was so relaxing. The Gift Box had lovely items in it to make our stay even more enjoyable, such as wine, chocolates, bath and pampering treats, and a couples card game which opened up some nice conversations.  We will definitely come back to this place again, a great recommendation from Natasha, thanks for organising everything, we didn’t have to do a thing ~ Sharon & Dinghy ~ Christchurch

"The Romantic Delights Gift Box was a winner! My partner loved all contents (especially the chocolates!). Big thanks to Natasha for her excellent service and care taken in putting the gift box together. Also, the conversation-starter cards are amazing and well worth checking out. Thanks again." ~ De Wet Van Der Westhuizen - Auckland

"We loved our Romantic Getaway Gift Box…we had the one with the Couple Starter Conversation Cards which was a lot of fun and very informing…we were talking all night! (Don’t know if that was the purpose of our romantic getaway LOL!)" ~ Donna-Lee Anderson - Wellington

"The whole thing was just absolutely beautiful. Breathtaking 😍 Totally a place we would love to go back to! Everything was amazing, the food was delicious 😋 Brylee was such a cool woman 😁 She did our hosting. We were even able to go out on a raft at such late notice the following day!  Thanks You 🥰  LOVED IT ~ Emma Redfern - Masterton

"We both loved the location and wished we had stayed an extra day. Best part she didn’t know where it was until last minute.  The flowers were excellent, love hearts on the bed were great. Delight box was a nice touch.  So great to be able to organise these in advance. Spa tub outside was excellent and covered for when it rained, as I expected it to. Spa bath inside was excellent too. Bed lovely and all the facilities were great with everything you could ask for. Meal was what I expected , basic home cooking but well presented. Really wanted to sit and eat dinner outside , but knew that was not going to happen with the weather. Hosts were great and left us to it. So big thank you as we had a fantastic us time. The spa bath in this unit was great and also overlooks the stunning scenery. Looking forward to organising another one next year for our 20th. Might even look at flying somewhere for the weekend. ~ Glenn Allen - Palmerston North

"The weekend was lovely, never feels long enough but it delivered what we wanted which was fun and relaxation.  The accommodation was great, the chateau with the spa pool was fabulous. My only feedback would be the uncomfortable beds. We are use to fairly soft beds I guess, so unfortunately didn’t sleep very well and woke with sore backs.  The staff had outstanding service and the breakfasts were delicious.  The pamper package, to be honest was a little different than what we had in mind, but once we settled into the vibe, we came out totally relaxed. The platter and bubbles she provided was absolutely delicious and topped off the day.   Thank you so much for the gift box and arranging our weekend. Will definitely recommend and hopefully book another escape soon. Many thanks." ~ Annelise Scott - Wairarapa

"Everything was great such an awesome spot was so peaceful especially no children lol. Thanks."  ~ Scott MacDonald - Taranaki

"I have been trying to find the right words all week.  I was overwhelmed and cried happy tears upon opening my gifts.  My first entry in my secret gratitude book is "I am grateful for the kindness of strangers".  What an amazing thing to receive in this upside down time in my life.  The cards of the universe has your back are amazing.  I have a few mirrors around my house and have chosen the cards that really speak to me and put a card in each corner of my mirror, so I can see these messages when I look at myself everyday., there are also a few on my fridge.  The wine and chocolates were real yum and other gifts are a treasure of my time away.

I loved the peace and serenity of the bush for my first couple of nights, all the birds and the stars turned it on every night it was amazing and that bath wow.  It was so private.  I for the first time became comfortable in my own skin and felt truly free, what a liberating experience.  The food was amazing and my hosts were amazing, and the decor in the batch was just stunning.  What can I say everything was amazing.

I moved to the glamping tent, this was beautiful.  I managed to get an outside bath before it poured down.  I was in the tent in the pouring rain and didn't have to worry about being in a tent at all, it was so sturdy and the rain sounded really nice on the canvas and with the heaters on I was really toasty warm.  The bed was amazing, and I loved the chandelier hanging from the ceiling.  Again what amazing hosts and the breakfast was so good.  Having a bath with cows mooing at me was funny, cows are really funny to watch.  My Massage was 10 out of 10. WOW.

The only downside was the drive back home.  I wanted to stay longer.  I have fallen in love with Taranaki and it's beautiful spaces.

Thank you again, I felt so relaxed and rested in both places and can't wait to return, but thanks so much for the package, it made me feel really special, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness." ~ Clare - Wellington

"Everything was wonderful.  We loved from the moment we arrived there until we left.  We are already missing the place." ~ Paulo Barros - Auckland

"I loved the overall deals that it included & how majority of the locations weren’t that far, or too expensive for a night away!  It benefited our relationship by allowing us to spend a bit of quality time away with each other & taking the stress out of organising everything!

I believe there needs to be no improvements, we both absolutely loved our time & cannot wait for another chance to book through Romantic Gestures!  Everything was beyond perfect!  We loved the wee gift box as the game allowed us to connect on a deeper level!  Thank you for the fantastic experience!" ~ Chantel Rushton - Christchurch

"We decided to use RomanticGestures.co.nz to book our getaway because it seemed easy and stress free having everything organised for us." ~ Alana - Tauranga

"Natasha and one of her helpers ran the bar at our wedding a few days ago and I was blown away with how hard they worked.  We had lots of little requests including being in charge of our nibbles for our guests and nothing was a problem.  Definitely recommend!  Communication was a breeze and we had so many comments about how great they were from our guests.  Money well spent.  Thanks so much ." ~ Mrs Kestin Scott - Christchurch

"It was a nice relaxing break from reality that was unique, isolating and satisfying." ~ Jayden Scott - Christchurch

"We had an amazing time, everything was amazing, nothing was too much to ask.  Loved every minute of it would go back in a heartbeat.  I couldn't fault this treat and time away for us both." ~ Kris Scott - Christchurch

"We were given this as a thank you gift (very nice surprise) and were way overdue to go away for a weekend that didn’t involve work, staying with family or friends, or bringing along the kids." ~ Stephanie Ashton - Tauranga

"We had a great time, thanks a lot.  And thanks for the gift box.  The concept offered by the website was exactly what I was looking for.  We needed some private time isolated from the rest of the world and that's exactly what we got.  And we enjoyed every moment of it." ~ Santiago Novillo - Auckland

"We had a lovely stay, thank you very much.  We really liked the look of the place so were very keen to book it.  It was very simple to book as well which made it stress free.   We loved everything about it." ~ Amalie - Christchurch

"We loved the one in Taihape." ~ Alisha - Wellington

"We had a lovely time.  We really did love the tree house, such a great idea.  We really needed the getaway to reconnect and we made the most of the tree house.  Thank you for the work you put into this. The hamper was great, Mike loved it.  And he was surprised.  It is a wonderful idea, and I will be recommending you and the service to anyone that will listen." ~ Debbie - Christchurch

"I had looked at doing something amazing for my husband two years ago but went with something else!  So googled within New Zealand for something romantic and something with activity and Romantic Gestures with some other sites popped up.  This wasn’t my first choice and I had picked something else, but a year later I came back to this site and my emails with Natasha and went with it this year!  Wow! Such an awesome site for us romantics!  Great family made us feel so welcome without intruding on us, the rafting was amazing thanks to Mikayla and lunch was so yummy, lovely 3 course meal, good home cooked food, accommodation top notch and every detail looked after!!  Everything was top notch!  Would highly recommend and will do!  Thanks Romantic Gestures!" ~ Donna-Lee and Pete - Wellington

"Waituna Western was the best option for the Romantic time away from civilization that we needed to re-connect on the deep level that we know we have to do but sometimes gets lost in everyday life and pressures.  It met every expectation and more!!!!!!!!!!  It was perfect.  We will definitely be referring people to you, we have already spread the word!!!!!!!!!!" ~ Sherie McHardy - Taupo

"The cards were great, it is nice to know just how compatible we are.  We even disagree in a positive way.  The gourmet platter was lovely and saved us cooking the first night.  Beautiful nibbles, yummy bubbles and interesting conversation, not about household stuff". ~ Debra Hood - Selwyn

"We had such a good time!  We booked with you for ease.  It was very simple and quick and you asked the right questions around our preferences.  The food on both nights was stand out, absolutely fabulous, couldn't fault it". ~ R Mason - Nelson

"The stay was very lovely and relaxing.  Absolutely beautiful spot with breathtaking views.  The cabin was awesome.  Thank you so much for everything." ~ Zoe Sargent - Palmerston North

"Wow, first of all, I have never been to Waipu.  What an amazing place.   The accommodation was beautiful.  It was amazing having the time to reconnect.  Three years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer, then re diagnosed two years ago.  The weekend we went away I was 12 months clear.  What happens through chemo and radiotherapy, you lose your sex drive and intimacy becomes harder.  Having the good news, having the space in a beautiful setting, was just what we needed.  It made us realise just how important it is to take time out for each other.  The basket waiting for us was so special...loved the body product, chocolate was beautiful, and the wine.  Breakfast was awesome, thank you.  I couldn't believe the quality of the food around the place...everywhere we ate, so amazing.  Thanks again." ~ C H - Tauranga

"The uniqueness of the accommodation led me to make the booking.  We had a great stay and would definitely recommend you to others". ~ Brett Marley - Wellington

"Thank you for a great wonderful weekend.  The time we spent together was fantastic.  The gift box was good, the art of conversation cards was such a great idea.  We asked each other questions, open and honest.  Thank you so much.  I will be booking another weekend later on". ~ Kelvin O'Reilly - Masterton

“I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a great birthday present and to strengthen our relationship.  The getaway (along with the card game) allowed us to become closer and understand each other better.  We also made a no cell phone rule while at the getaway to allow us to connect better.  Loved every minute”. ~ Aiden Taylor - Rotorua

"It was excellent, definitely worth it". ~ Oliver Deane - Rolleston

"The main reason I booked with RG was all of the clearly laid out information both on the website and through our email correspondence.  I was looking at romantic getaways on a few different sites but I felt very comfortable with exactly what I would get through RG and that helped me make my decision.  I also liked the pictures and what I had heard about Hanmer Springs.   Thank you very much, the getaway was perfect for my proposal". ~ Austin DeLonge - USA

"That was awesome!  Thanks for organizing a Romantic picnic hamper for us". ~ Brie and Luke Ward - Burnham

“Natasha, has been fantastic throughout.  I had a big problem at the start because I was looking for an “Engagement Planner” instead of “Wedding Planner” and had a hard time finding one online.  I emailed a few wedding planner companies that I found and one of them was RG.  Natasha was the very first one who was very responsive and replied almost immediately.  Natasha was able to relate to what I intended to do and gave me a few ideas and solutions unlike other companies I contacted who were not very keen for my business because my preparation time was only 45 days away from initial contact.  I wanted this special moment to be photo and video recorded and she managed to find two outstanding companies which my fiancé and I are really happy with the quality they produced.  Their final result is a masterpiece and we couldn’t have been more happier with the result.  Thank you so much Natasha for your responsiveness, transparency, honesty, for going that extra mile and for your attitude which made this special moment for us so memorable”. ~ Tommy William – Singapore

"I would just like to thank you very much for our weekend away that you made special for us!  As I was not involved with any of the planning or organisation of it made it so much more special.  I have already told all our friends about our delightful getaway!  O my before I forget...the chocolates were absolutely divine!  Thanks again". ~ Lani Diederiks

"My sister gave us a voucher to use on my birthday and it was nice just to sit back catch up and just talk as we have both been very busy.  Loved not having a TV!  We enjoyed our experience.  Thanks Natasha". ~ Bridget Pirie

"I chose to use Romantic Gestures because of the professionalism and experience they have in organizing special weekends away.  This proved to be a fantastic choice because everything went smoothly, the venue and hosts were great and Hannah and I now have wonderful memories of the weekend which we will cherish forever". ~ Andrew Gray - Hamilton

"Booking with you greatly benefited our relationship as the place was like stepping into another world, cut off from the busy rush of reality.  The hamper was amazing!! So delicious!  The getaway felt magical and special - exactly what I was looking for when booking this trip". ~ C.M & J.C - Auckland

"Thank you for all of your help and guidance during the wedding planning process.  You've been beyond helpful!" ~ Jody Gaskell - Palmerston North

"Was a great weekend thanks to you.  We were after somewhere close to Wellington, which gave us something different.  You answering us quickly helped with the decision to book with you.  The weekend helped our relationship by allowing us to forget about things other then us". ~ Suzanne and Ken - Wellington

"We absolutely LOVED the wagon, it was the most incredible way to end the day and we were so pleased we did it.  Thank you so so much for the wonderful job you did with all the bits and bobs too, they were lovely". ~ Richard and Katie Kneller - Wedding Night Accommodation

"My wife and I had a memorable stay at Geraldine Gateway during our visit to beautiful NZ last year.  The place is a Gem... immaculate, very comfy and romantic with quiet surroundings, and the reception by the hosts were nothing less than impeccable!  We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub under a starry winter's night and sipping champagne at the same time made it such a magical experience.  Not to forget the wonderful dinner and couples massage as well.  My wife couldn't stop singing praises of how much she enjoyed the massage at the day spa.  Whilst we had visited NZ numerous times in the past, that particular trip was one of the best, all made possible simply because of you, Ms. Oliver.  Thank you very much for the gift box and making all arrangements seem so effortless!  We will surely be back for more in future". ~ Davis and Ann Yeo - Singapore

"We were wanting to find a romantic getaway without having to go through holiday homes and other accommodation so booking through Romantic Gestures guaranteed a romantic getaway.  Booking through Romantic Gestures was smooth and easy to do which kept the stress away so we could simply enjoy our stay". ~ Shane and Marie Scott

"We loved the fact the Romantic Gestures is so personal. From the moment we called to inquire we felt like our vacation was planned just for us.  It was nice to deal with the same person every time we called, it was so easy to plan the perfect getaway for us!  This weekend was great for our relationship because it allowed us to reconnect on a lot of different levels.  All of the personal touches like the gift box, chocolates, etc we're amazing!" ~ Krissy and Jeff  - Canada

"It was awesome thank you.  She was super lovely and the preview of pics were awesome.  She made me feel very comfortable." ~ Mrs Sarah Jankiewicz - Boudoir Photo Shoot

"Fantastic stay". ~ Andrea French

"We found the interaction easy and proactive.  You offered to find something else for me which may suit- took the hassle out.  We were after a no hassle night away in peace to focus on us - we definitely got this.  The spot was lovely and the couple extremely friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was amazing and the chocolates out of this world." ~ Kelly Symmons - Wellington

"Wow wow wow is all I have to say ... we booked a Valentine's picnic through Romantic Gestures and the food was AMAZING!!! My partner and I own our own catering company in Christchurch so for once was so lovely to be catered for, the chicken salad we had was the best salad I think I have ever eaten YUMMY!

"Thank you for the experience.  I felt the communication with Romantic Gestures was stress free and very easy to book through.  We stayed at the WOW Out West accommodation and just loved every minute of it.  It was everything I had imagined and more!  The wagon was just amazing and everything had been thought of, the outside bath was lovely under the stars and the swing seat perfect to have some bubbles and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.  Highly recommend for a special occasion". ~ Carol & Jeremy - Christchurch

"Wow, what can I say. I was looking to purchase a garden arch for our wedding, but they were either flimsy or way too expensive.  I saw a notice of Natasha's mentioning they could get things at a good price, so I messaged her.  That was last Thursday.  She was going on a well deserved break Friday, but I still had my beautiful archway when I got home from work Tuesday.  Awesome communication, service and very caring.  Many thanks Natasha, it is just perfect". ~ Justine Carlaw - Christchurch

"First off - I can't stop raving about your excellent planning skills!!!  Haha!!  You went above and beyond what I was expecting to arrive to!!!!  Natasha - you were so easy to deal with!!  I obviously had a lot of questions and queries because I'm usually the organiser and not used to handing over the reins to someone else.   The experience was something neither of us has ever done before!!  So much so that Shane was almost in tears at the effort you went to with the little extras". ~ Alice & Shane - Queenstown/Wanaka

"Everything was great, thank you so much.  Natasha was very helpful which made everything easy and simple to book and no question no matter how silly was a bother to her and she got back to me quickly which made things far less stressful seeing as we were only a couple of weeks or less out from our wedding". ~ Mrs Jess Wright - Christchurch

“Upon arrival I headed to the beauty room for a divine massage and facial.  Dinner was lovely, we did our Couple Conversation cards, which was a great thing to do over dinner.  Our relationship has benefited from booking with you because neither of us had to do any of the organising, and it really was a surprise opening the big red box.  Both times you’ve organised our wedding anniversary we’ve been thrilled with the weekend”. ~ Sharon & Kevin - Christchurch

“Your website was great and showed all options in a very appealing way.  I made a booking which was easy and stress free.  I tend to be the organiser/details person between us so this was made very easy for me and you gave me trust that all would work as arranged”.   The cottage was gorgeous.  OMG the truffles were amazing!" ~ Julie Scott - Canterbury

"What a lovely place for a night away to get away from it all, we had a great time.  Since we are in the middle of wedding planning and invite writing it was nice to put this aside and just concentrate on us again". ~ Bronwyn & Glenn - Ashburton

"Our time in Taihape was amazing.  I don't think we have slept so well in so long.  We enjoyed the spa and the food was plentiful and amazing.  I can't rave about it enough.  It was truly worth it.  Thank you.  The best thing I loved about it.....no cellphone reception!  Exactly what we needed!!!!!!!" ~ Duncan & Leigh - Taupo

"Natasha and Co are amazing!  Keeping in touch yearly to start with.  So lovely and heartfelt.  This year I asked about the advertised cakes in a jar.  She found a supplier that would ship to Wellington!  She had it all taken care of for me, I just had to wait for the yummyness to arrive and enjoy!  Natasha even had back up gift ideas for me if my own didn't pan out.  I can not recommend Natasha and her company enough.  Making romance easy for all.  5 stars, high fives all around and tremendous applause to her!" ~ Vicky & Al Ingham - Wellington

"Firstly we would like to thank you for setting this all up, in such a lovely peaceful environment.  We loved every minute of our romantic weekend away to celebrate Sammie's 21st.  Just having time to ourselves without technology, it's perfect.  I felt just like a princess - it was just what I needed." ~ Ben & Sammie - Wanganui

"Hi Natasha, I would like to thank you for helping me out with the hire of one of your limo's for my wedding on the 30th April.  Two weeks before the wedding the Limo I had booked was cancelled, causing me some stress.  You and my daughter worked together to give me a Limo for one hour at the price I was expecting to pay -- I thank you so much for this as it did become very stressful leading up to the wedding with our disco cancelling also.  So thank you Natasha from the bottom of my heart :)" ~ Wendy Quartly - nee Owen

"What amazing people you are and you do an amazing job :) with a limo pulling out on us 10 days before a wedding , the bride to be woke up stressed and you have taken all of that off her shoulders!  Going above and beyond for us finding something to suit what we were after - and very quickly too. Thank you so much!" ~ Megan Shuker - Christchurch

"We were very happy with service we received.  No complaints at all.  The table setting was beautiful and I really appreciated the little touches and thoughtful details.  The ribbons around the curtains and chairs was a nice touch.  A lovely treat!  The meal was beautiful and I have already recommended you to a friend.   Again the details and extra touches were presented so beautifully.  Thanks again :)" ~ Joelle  and Dwayne Goodall - Christchurch

"We were extremely happy, it exceeded our expectations.  We had the best experience.  The restaurant was a real treat too.  We really enjoyed indulging in the goodies from the gift box, it was such a lovely surprise.  We had a lot of fun when it came to the pillow talk cards, definitely a memorable part of the night.  It was a wonderful birthday celebration, couldn't have been any better.  We can't wait for our next romantic getaway!" ~ Henry and Leanne - Auckland

"The service and gift box provided by you were indeed the highlights and the Pillow Talk Cards were great." ~ Mr and Mrs Dhingra - Auckland

"We had such a wonderful time away, it was exactly what we were hoping it was going to be and more.  The service was amazing, so friendly but professional and just all round fantastic.  We thoroughly enjoyed our honeymoon and it was the little things that made it romantic, the spa, candles, meals being delivered to our room and flowers in every room.  Thank you for everything, it was truly fantastic." ~ Thomas and Hannah Connolly - Taranaki

"We wanted to spend our Wedding Anniversary in Auckland. Natasha recommended, and organised, the 5-star Executive Auckland package for us. Upon arrival there were rose petals arranged beautifully on the bed, with a Romantic Gestures gift box and an anniversary present. There were also a platter of chocolates, fruit and a bottle of bubbles. These personal touches made our stay special, which we wouldn’t have had if we’d made the booking ourselves. We thoroughly recommend using Romantic Gestures, as it is the personal touches that make your occasion special and is hassle free with an element of surprise." ~ Kevin and Sharon Pattinson - Christchurch

  "A huge thank you to Natasha for the hampers you make up for us for our clients. They are quality hampers that have amazing presentation, and our clients absolutely love them." ~ Ashleigh - Property Consultant

"Your Cozy Cottage hosts are awesome and everything was more than expected. The pillow talk cards are a bit silly but nice idea although the rest of the contents of the gift box were very useful." ~ Tobias & Rebecca

"On arrival we jumped straight into the Spa, chilled out for a wee bit, had our Romantic 3 course dinner and then back into the Spa we went! Much needed body recovery. It sure did exceed expectations. We knew there was going to be a view but I really had no idea how amazing it was going to be. The spot was perfect, the cottage was perfect. It couldn’t have been more enjoyable. The contents of the box were useful for sure! The chocolates were a yummy treat after dinner. We used the bath salts in the bath on Sunday morning which was great with our sore bodies and we used the body oil for massages last night back at home. We LOVED it thank-you." ~ Tyrone & Maxine

"Thank you for the two most relaxing and romantic days that we needed. The added touch of 'Romantic Gestures' was fantastic. We most definitely will be talking about this wee piece of paradise that is your West Coast Wonder. It is really a most magical spot. Outdoor baths under the stars is like being in heaven. And the meals were incredible also. Thank you so much." ~ Rick and Leeanne

"Our girls weekend in Wellington was fantastic. Highlight was the meal." ~ Deb & Rachel

"The weekend was wonderful. We were very happy with the service and the food and wine was excellent. We enjoyed being in our own wee haven for the night. The cards were a hit, a great way to explore conversation and just something a little different that we don't normally do." ~ Deb & Te Puni

"Thank you for the gift box. we enjoyed the massage oil. We had a lovely time away. Thank you again." ~ Grant and Adie

"Our Romantic Getaway was absolutely fantastic. Even better than could ever be wished for. Sooo relaxing!! Perfect!!!! Everything about the experience was just brilliant!! The Romantic Delights Box is a really good idea. The chocolate was absolutely DELICIOUS. Where can we purchase more from?? Please!!" ~ Danny & Shona

"Michael and myself, would like to say a big THANKS to you and everybody who helped to organize this special weekend for us at Milton Magic. We were touched with the little extras that were provided for us, such as a wonderful Gift basket (we enjoyed the pillow talk cards - we have had so much fun sitting in front of the fire and answering the questions). These experiences were far beyond what we both expected, the place was stunning and spotless. We both love the outdoors so this place was just perfect for a few walks and to get lost in nature. My favorite bit was having a bath underneath the stars - priceless. I think this is a wonderful place for an occasion like this, for people who love to get lost and don't want to be reached or simply don't want to be found at all.  So once again Natasha many thanks and we are looking forward to our different paradise holiday in the new future." ~ Michael and Marianna Inch

"We were happy with the service we received. We were given a later check out time which was fantastic and much appreciated it was great to sleep in and not rush out the door after breakfast (it made our morning much more enjoyable). The getaway is such a beautiful place. We really enjoyed the gift box - particularly the chocolates and the oil. The bath salts were a nice touch and we look forward to using them now that we are back at home. Thanks Natasha, we had a great time." ~ Laura & Tim

"We appreciate the personal contact and service and not going through a hotel booking/call service, it made the booking easier, friendlier and put my mind at ease that all will be taken care of. What we've experienced was quite lovely. We just loved the way the room was decorated and we both were so excited to open the gift box with all the goodies and loved the Pillow talk cards. The gift box was tasteful and romantic in a sophisticated manner, we had great laughs going through the pillow talk cards, we have been together for 25 years and married 20 years this year, and we were so surprised with the answers we gave each other!! The gift box and lovely service made us feel very special. I planned a romantic evening but unfortunately I was feeling sick and with the sudden drizzling and spit rain we could not enjoy the spa and outside garden as much as we wanted to, but surprisingly we both had I think an even better time because we went through the gift box, had laughs, quiet time, relaxed and just be in the moment and spend most time inside the room. The host was awesome, friendly and gave it a personal touch and homely feel. The food was great, home cooked meals!! The massages were great and relaxing and just what we both needed. We had a great time, thank you for everything." ~ Cecile & Craig Wetdewich

"The holiday was amazing, was so nice to be away we both really enjoyed it... it was a lovely little place to stay and have recommended it to friends of ours..." ~ Charelle Avery

Rowena and her husband Rick were the winners of our recent Romantic Getaway giveaway. They were treated to a Deluxe Getaway including High Tea the following day. Rowena sent through the following comments about their prize:

"Thank you so much for our `prize package`. We had an amazing night and fantastic way to celebrate our anniversary. Its not often that we get to have a night away from the kids so we absolutely loved it. Yes it was the first time that we had been to a High Tea. It probably would not be something that Rick and I would have done so we were both thankful for the opportunity and really enjoyed it. The food was amazing. Our night was fantastic. It was wonderful to get to the room to find it decorated with the rose petals, wine and chocolates, it gave the room a personal feel. We would definitely recommend your services to any friends that we knew if they were going to be getting engaged or wanted a weekend away." ~ Rowena & Rick Waihi

Lynne contacted me to organise a surprise gift for her husband for their 31st Wedding Anniversary. She chose our Movie Night Bucket which included goodies for them to enjoy a romantic night at home. A suitable film title was chosen and the Bucket was sent to her husband at work as part of the surprise. Lynne contacted me after her husband had received his surprise gift to tell me that he loved it, thank you. Congratulations Lynne and Trevor on 31 fantastic years.

A friend of Kirsty's had recommended that she book a Romantic Getaway through Romantic Gestures. Kirsty made the booking and was very happy with the service she received from us in particularly the prompt replies at the last minute. Kirsty's booking earnt her a complimentary bottle of wine which exceeded their expectations. Upon her return she wrote to say thanks for all of your help and the bottle of wine! It was a great weekend and the hosts were amazing!! Kirsty will now be passing on her recommendations to her friends.

We designed a personalised voucher and she tells me her Father In Law and Mother In Law are so excited about the voucher and are looking forward to booking it. Congratulations on your birthday Bob. I look forward to hearing from you when you are ready to make your booking.

Vicky wanted somewhere special for her and husband Al to celebrate their 4th Wedding Anniversary. Her first choice was booked so I found her an equally stunning and suitable location to celebrate in. Upon her return she sent me this feedback:

"I was very happy with the services I received in booking this getaway. It was such a joy to not have to trawl the Book a Bach websites myself and the convenience of your help was greatly appreciated. You exceeded our expectations with the recommendations on activities to do and where to eat. I was just initially expecting to be left to figure it out ourselves. I would heartily recommend your services to others. The experience was plenty enjoyable. I think if you did any more work, I'd never have been able to come back home :)" ~ Vicky & Al Ingham

"We were very happy with the service and loved how the cabin was set up with candles and the wood burner made it very romantic. It met all my expectations and my wife just loved it. I will be sure to tell my friends about your website." ~ Allen Hince

"Thank you for an amazing weekend – Ian (Cozy Cottage) was a great host! We were extremely happy with the service received! It was everything that we asked for and more. Our expectations were exceeded by the quality of the accommodation and service. We will defiantly recommend your services to our friends and family." ~ Blake Flowerday

"We had an absolutely stunning time at Methven Magic. It’s an amazing little place with gorgeous features and we loved it! We had fantastic weather too so that made it even better. Thank you so much for organising it at such short notice and for doing all you did to arrange it for us. We will certainly be coming back to you for our anniversary plans, although we’ll definitely plan a little further ahead next time!" ~ Kerry and Alan

"WOW !!!! What a fantastic night away. The wagon was simply amazing. Marie had no idea where I was taking her and she was totally blown away by the experience. Would definitely recommend to other people. And I will also keep in mind the other venues that you have for another occasion.  Thanks a million." ~ Andrew
