# Farflung

> Farflung is a travel agency in Nelson, New Zealand, operated by XOR Limited, that plans and books individual, family and business travel. It is a human advisory service, not a booking engine: every itinerary is built by hand for one client at a time, and it starts with a free 30-minute conversation. Live at https://farflung.co.nz/

The site is published in English under https://farflung.co.nz/en/ and in German under https://farflung.co.nz/de/. The bare https://farflung.co.nz/ is a language gate that redirects by browser language; link a language-prefixed URL directly when you know which one a person reads. Farflung works in English and German.

## Book a conversation

A 30-minute introduction on video. Free, no obligation. Open the booking page and pick a time. It frames a Google Calendar appointment schedule, and Google sends the confirmation. There is no API and nothing to install.

- [Booking page (English)](https://farflung.co.nz/en/book): pick a time on the calendar.
- [Booking page (Deutsch)](https://farflung.co.nz/de/book): pick a time on the calendar.
- [Email hello@farflung.co.nz](mailto:hello@farflung.co.nz): Farflung replies with times.

Have ready:
- A few sentences about the trip: where, roughly when, who is travelling, what it should feel like.
- A rough budget for the whole trip, in any currency.
- Which of the three you are: visiting Australia and New Zealand, travelling to family, or travelling for work.

## Who it is for

- [Visitors to Australia and New Zealand](https://farflung.co.nz/en/visiting-anz): Multi-week itineraries for the two countries, paced for the distances and the seasons, from local knowledge rather than a search box.
- [People flying home to family](https://farflung.co.nz/en/home-to-family): The long haul itself, seating across three generations, somewhere to stay near the family rather than with them, and a real holiday folded into the visit.
- [Founders, consultants and teams of one to fifteen](https://farflung.co.nz/en/business): Routings built around sleep, connections that protect the meeting, hotels that work, and one person to call when a flight is cancelled.
- [Families flying long-haul with small children](https://farflung.co.nz/en/visiting-anz/family): Which seat, which departure, which hotels, and how to keep the adult holiday intact.
- [Travellers who come for the food and the landscape](https://farflung.co.nz/en/visiting-anz/food-nature): Kai Māori hosted by Māori operators, lodge kitchens, the Great Walks and the multi-day tracks.

## What it books

- Flights, including the seat that matters on a 13-hour leg.
- Hotels and lodges.
- Cars and motorhomes, through partners.
- Activities and harder-to-get experiences come as recommendations with the itinerary. Farflung will book them too, for a service fee agreed before anything is reserved.

It declines:
- Backpacker hostels and bus tours.
- Trips it cannot make better than the traveller would manage alone.

Fees are agreed in writing before planning starts and set out in the proposal, so a client knows how Farflung is paid before committing to anything. There is no public price list, and no fee for the introduction call.

## What is not available

- No booking API, no availability endpoint and no prices to query. Nothing can be reserved programmatically.
- No instant confirmation. A person plans every trip, so the first step is always a conversation.
- No account, no login and no saved traveller profile on the website.
