(12) — Transparency & Disclaimer

Honest about
how we're made.

Last updated · 30 July 2026

Trust is the whole product. Here is exactly how our content, imagery and recommendations work — in plain language.

(01)

Content & AI transparency

I Love New Zealand uses a combination of human editorial direction, technology and AI-assisted tools in the creation, organisation and presentation of some website content.

Destination and journal imagery is authentic photography sourced from licensed editorial collections (including Wikimedia Commons and Unsplash). Category and selection plates marked as artwork are original editorial illustrations drawn for this site — they are interpretive artwork, not photographs of the exact property, person or scene named.

Where visual material is illustrative, digitally enhanced or AI-assisted, it should not be read as documentary evidence of an actual real-world scene.

We aim to clearly distinguish editorial information and authentic photography from illustrative or AI-assisted material wherever reasonably practical.

Travel information

Travel information, including prices, availability, opening hours, schedules, access requirements, regulations and other practical details can change.

Travellers should verify important information directly with the relevant accommodation provider, attraction, tour operator, transport provider or other service provider before making plans or purchases.

I Love New Zealand does not guarantee the ongoing accuracy, availability or suitability of third-party services.

(03)

Affiliate disclosure

Some links and booking opportunities on I Love New Zealand are affiliate links.

If you click an affiliate link and make an eligible booking or purchase, I Love New Zealand may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not determine our editorial opinions, recommendations or inclusion of destinations and experiences.

Third-party providers handle their own bookings, payments, cancellations, refunds, terms and conditions.

(04)

Editorial independence

I Love New Zealand aims to provide an independent, curated travel resource focused on discovering and experiencing Aotearoa New Zealand.

Commercial relationships and affiliate partnerships do not guarantee inclusion, ranking or positive editorial treatment.
