Here are Jane's picks for the week:

Talk about cheap. Get five-star accommodation in Auckland from $160 a night, including valet parking and drink vouchers, with this 'mystery hotel' deal. You'll find out the name of the hotel once you book. Find out more: www.wotif.com
This is crazy — you can get a four-night trip to Kuala Lumpur for less than you would normally pay for the airfare alone. The deal starts at $1349, including flights and accommodation, but you've only got until September 10 to book. Find out more: www.flightcentre.co.nz
There are some good savings on these MSC cruises in Europe, with prices starting at $725 per person for five nights. The prices are valid for cruises up to December 4. Find out more: www.goholidays.co.nz
I like this Samoa holiday package, with flights, five nights' accommodation and transfers from $837 per person. It's for travel next winter, when you might need to warm up a bit! Find out more: www.harveyworld.co.nz
