The Story Behind
The Luxury Landing
Hello, I'm Melissa Du Plessis,
The proud owner of The Luxury Landing. Originally from South Africa, I made the move to New Zealand 12 years ago and instantly fell head over heels for this breathtaking region.
It was my own travels and discoveries here that ignited my desire to introduce others to this unspoiled slice of paradise.
What I adore most about my work is connecting with our clients on a personal level. There's something special about hunting down the perfect blend of places, stays, food and experiences for them.
But what truly fuels my passion is those moments when a client reaches out with a seemingly impossible request, saying, 'I'm not sure how we're going to do this, but I'd like to...' That's where the magic happens for me. I thrive on turning dreams into reality and witnessing the joy on my client's face when we make the impossible happen. That's what drives me to come to work each day.
And, of course all the amazing people who help us make it happen along the way!
