About Ikonic Destinations

More Than Somewhere To Go.

It’s about discovering what makes a place worth travelling for.

Ikonic Destinations was created for people who want to experience somewhere properly — without spending weeks researching, comparing, booking and trying to piece it all together themselves.

The brand story

The Best Trips Are About What Happens When You Get There.

The vineyard down the road that does something a little differently. The farmers’ market filled with local growers and makers. The small producer creating something incredible. The story behind the food on your plate. The wellness experience that leaves you floating. The adventure you nearly talked yourself out of. And the unexpected stop that somehow becomes everyone’s favourite part of the trip.

We bring those pieces together around you, your people and the way you want the experience to feel.

We don’t start with an itinerary. We start with what will make the experience worth remembering.

The Ikonic Destinations Way

We Don’t Start With An Itinerary. We Start With What Will Make The Experience Worth Remembering.

Know The Place

We look beyond the obvious — exploring the food, culture, stories, landscapes and local favourites that give a destination its personality.

Know The People

The best experiences often begin with the people behind them. We build relationships with local hosts, makers, growers, guides, venues and businesses who bring something special to the experience.

Choose What’s Worth It

Not everything makes the cut. We look for places and experiences we’d genuinely be excited to recommend — whether that’s an incredible long lunch, a beautiful stay, a brilliant local find or something completely unexpected.

Make It Feel Like You

Wellness and wine. Adventure and long lunches. Culture, food, nature or a bit of everything.

We bring the right pieces together around your group — not the other way around.

Meet Chanelle

Chanelle Breeze

Founder & Travel Experience Curator

For Chanelle, travel has never been about ticking places off a list. It’s the restaurant you’re still talking about years later. The tiny local place you nearly walked past. The people you meet. The food you try. The stories you hear. The view that makes everyone go quiet for a minute.

Travel has taken her throughout New Zealand and around the world, and living and working in different destinations gave her an appreciation for experiencing a place beyond the obvious. Her career spans high-end hospitality and guest services, 10 years in real estate and more than a decade in business consulting and facilitation — all built around people, relationships and bringing ideas to life.

Food and wine have always been part of the adventure, while yoga and wellness became an important part of her own journey and changed the way she thinks about travel — making room for both indulgence and wellbeing. A beautiful long lunch and a morning yoga class can absolutely belong on the same itinerary.

Today, Chanelle leads the curation personally — exploring destinations, building relationships with exceptional local businesses and finding places and experiences she believes are genuinely worth sharing.

Part curator, part connector and part tastemaker.
