What Do You Have To Say...

After every FreemanX Experience is completed, we ask for customer feedback. We are always looking to improve our services and thrive on hearing when our customers enjoy their experience! We thought it would be nice to share some feedback with you. Perhaps if you are thinking about purchasing an experience or can't decide what to get for a gift, the feedback will help with your decision making process.



"The facial provided was excellent. one of the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot of facials over the years. The therapist was on time, professional and didn't gabber on non-stop. She gave me the full 60 minutes treatment including an amazing arm and neck massage. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and intend making another appointment next month. Awesome!" - Justine

"Cannot pick out one fault of this day it was absolutely brilliant. Totally worth getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning for. The instructors were brilliant. Very patient and extremely friendly and helpful. Sad to be leaving Australia soon because I could of really seen myself signing up for more FreemanX days out. One of the highlights of my time in OZ. 5 stars thanks a millon guys." - Wayne



"Thank you for the opportunity to fulfill one of my childhood dreams. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Instructor was a well experienced pilot. He gave me lot of tips and got me to ride the plane myself for most of the time we were flying. Had multiple landings and take-offs during 45 minutes of flying. I am planning to go again and get my pilot license. I have no hesitation to recommend the company! They are the best. Cheers" - Syed 





"As I arrived I noticed some faces I had not seen for some years. it was great that friends from the past were on the same experience. The drive was fantastic and the mentors in the cars passed on valuable information. The cars were great and the adrenalin flowed as I got faster and faster. It was the talking point all weekend and I would expect to be back                          with others soon." - Richard
                                                                                             


"We had a terrific experience, the boys running the cruise were fantastic and made sure everyone was having a great time and went out of their way to make sure everyone had the best day. I would definately go with the crew again and am more than happy to recommend them to anyone thinking of having a truly awesome cruise, 10/10 from me" - Vanessa

The More the Better!


One of the many cool things about FreemanX is the variety and number of experiences available all over Australia and New Zealand. We offer a large range of experiences that suit all needs, wants and desires. There is nothing better than getting feedback from a customer stating that they lived out a dream because they participated in one of our experiences. From adrenaline junkies to petrol heads to the more relaxed spa enthusiasts or those who prefer a gourmet tasting experience, we cater for everyone.  And it gets even better as we are constantly expanding and adding new products to choose from.  

Check out some of the latest Australian Experiences:

Mothers Day is Around the Corner!



With Mother's Day just a couple weeks away, it is definitely a good time to start thinking about what you can do to show your Mum how much you appreciate her and how special she is! We often take for granted Mums and how much they do for us; And no matter what we may do, they unconditionally love us!

Flowers, although beautiful and always a good gift can often be a bit predictable. Why not switch it up this year and surprise your Mother with special experience? From relaxing to extreme experiences and with the option to exhange open dated vouchers, you can't go wrong!

Here are some ideas to get you thinkings...as well as some "Mum" Quotes

Pamper Massage
                              






"The phrase "working mother"
 is redundant." - Jane Sellman

Delicious Gift Hamper

FreemanX Supercar Videos

If you are in New Zealand, you have to give the FreemanX Supercars a try! We have recently updated our camera system in all the cars so that if you add the video option, you can walk away with a USB video of your drive!

Check out this guy driving the Ferrari 360 Modena around Hampton Downs. You will see in the bottom left it also shows the track layout and where the car is at that point.

If you choose the hot laps, we change the angle of the camera and it will video you as the passenger!

Let us know what you think, or if you have done the experience, send us a copy of your video and we will post it on facebook or the blog!

FreemanX Foundation - Giving new meaning to the 'Tall Poppy Syndrome'

It gives us great pleasure to launch the FreemanX Foundation!

Our Vision...

We aim to support and develop a new wave of Kiwi ambition.

We believe we all live in a fantastic country and that the people of New Zealand have so much to offer. We want to provide a place to help nurture and develop our tall poppies.

By providing them an additional avenue of support to achieve at their best, as well as a place to expose and celebrate their success, we hope that others will find inspiration from that success and embark on their own journeys with new found desire.

It doesn't matter to us whether someone is excelling in sport, arts, music, or science... it's about enabling success, celebrating it, and using it to inspire a nation.


What We Do...


Direct support
We provide individuals or groups who are performing at the upper end of their fields and can show prior results the opportunity to apply for additional support by way of goods or services.
We don't give money directly, however we can help in purchasing material goods or services. For example it may be flights and accommodation to attend an international competition, a new violin for a youngster who has shown a lot of promise, or tuition fees for a ballet dancer to attend a specialist training academy in another country.

Connecting you to a wider network of support
Where an ongoing commitment of support is required that falls outside the means of what the FreemanX Foundation can offer, we also work as a connecting ground for businesses to sponsor individuals and groups which are aligned to their business goals or values.

Sharing your story and success
If accepted we're not just going to give you the grant & send you on your way. We'll continue to monitor your progress via online blogs & website updates so we can stay in touch. We want the rest of New Zealand to see your progress, get in behind you, provide moral support during the tough times and celebrate your success during the good times.

FreemanX Easter Basket Ease

Good Ol’ Easter! A nice long weekend for most of us; giving us time to get away, relax and leave the stresses of the workplace behind for a couple extra days. With it only 2 weekends away, we thought we would suggest some ideas to help make an extra special Easter Basket… chocolates, stuffed animal bunny rabbits, lollies and a FreemanX Experience!




Trying to choose the ideal experience for the recipient of the Easter Basket depends on their likes & interests. If they are a petrol head, we would recommend our Rally Driving 8 Lap Turbo Blast Experience!

It's on special for a limited time for the Easter holiday and it is offered in states all over the country. So whether you are on the West Coast in Perth or the East Coast in Sydney the Rally Drive special would be perfect for the car enthusiast’s Easter basket.





For those looking for a voucher that is perhaps a bit mellower for their basket creation, why not try a cooking class… Fitting for the holiday/Easter Basket would be the Chocolate Making Course in Melbourne or Adelaide? Or the Croquembouche and Caramel Cooking Class in Perth?


To make it extra easy, you could always replace the hassle of putting together an Easter Basket with one of our Gift Hamper? Perhaps one with Chocolate? Champagne? Or check out our Weekender Hamper for your long weekend away!


If you are putting together an Easter Basket for the younger generation and need something to help fill up the space, an experience voucher goes along way, what it is lacking in physical size, it certainly makes up for in enjoyment and excitement! Maybe fold a Swim with the Dolphins voucher or a Parasailing voucher into a plastic egg container and pop it in amongst the other eggs & chocolate. They certainly won’t be expecting such a cool treat!

Whatever you Easter Basket and Holiday Weekend contains, we hope you get a chance to relax and enjoy the time with family and friends!

Save the Summer!

Summer may be ending, but luckily there are still plenty of days of sunshine left to enjoy! We say why not take advantage of them and soak up the sun while you can?! Though there are countless experiences we could recommend, we would say to try out some of our water activities out! From Kayaking Excursions to Thrilling Jet Boat Rides, Relaxing Boat Cruises and Exciting Fishing Charters... so many choices, it's just trying to decide which one to do first?!

If you are in New Zealand, this is really the time to get a much needed dose of Vitamin D. The water activities listed above are not just for our Aussie mates. Check out the jet boats, kayaks, cruises, fishing trips and more on the North & South Islands.

If you have any questions or would like some recommendations, do not hesitate to contact us. Give us a ring or why not facebook us and we will get back to you asap.

And one last thing...be sure to bring your camera, snap some shots and post them on our wall!
