Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on February 9, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Stewart leverages her connections to weave itineraries that support the local area—including its flora and fauna. For a U.S.-based doctor who wanted to learn about Maori traditions, she arranged an afternoon with a local elder, who took the client around the bush and taught him about Indigenous plant-derived remedies. She also has a particular skill at delivering VIP access to world-renowned golf courses, such as Cape Kidnappers, in Hawke's Bay. She also suggests Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers Lodges. "There are a plethora of other activities for non-golfers, and the lodge life works well for a wider variety of clients," she says. In the last two years, Stewart has seen much domestic interest in regions such as Northland, Great Barrier Island, the West Coast, Wellington, and Dusky Sounds. Plus, like many countries, New Zealand has seen increased demand for spacious, outdoor-focused accommodations. "Several new glamping sites, such as Crosshill, have opened up, and this is on trend with being isolated in nature," she says, and private residences like Chapman House are also of interest.

All of her recommendations worked out well and we were totally pleased. She also planned what we hoped was going to be a wonderful Australian trip which was to take place in Spring of 2020 that included golf in Melbourne, touring in Sydney, and a trip to Lord Howe Island. Unfortunately Covid intervened. We hope to revisit the Australia trip and would definitely engage Alexandra to organize it for us when life returns to normal."- John G.
