More than just dating—these are stories of life-changing partnerships.

At SugarDaddyMeet, we witness incredible connections forming every day. From the bustling corporate hubs of Auckland to the quiet, scenic retreats of the South Island, our members are building relationships that defy expectations. These are not just transactional encounters; they are partnerships built on honesty, reciprocal benefit, and genuine care.
We share these stories to inspire you. Whether you are a student struggling to balance work and study, a professional finding a mentor, or a successful individual looking for a companion who truly appreciates you, these testimonials prove that your perfect match is out there. Read on to discover how SugarDaddyMeet has transformed lives across New Zealand.
How a mentorship in Auckland turned into a life-long bond.
Matched in Auckland | Together 2 Years
Jessica's Perspective: "I was in my final year of a marketing degree at AUT, drowning in student loans and working two part-time jobs just to survive in Auckland. I had zero time for dating, let alone networking. I joined SugarDaddyMeet out of curiosity, hoping to find someone who could perhaps help with tuition. I never expected to meet Robert."
The Connection: "Robert is a CMO for a major tech firm. Our first date was at Soul Bar in the Viaduct. I was nervous, but he was incredibly down-to-earth. We didn't just talk about allowance; we talked about brand strategy and digital trends. He was impressed by my ambition."
The Outcome: "Two years later, Robert isn't just my partner; he's my mentor. He helped me land an internship that launched my career. The financial support allowed me to quit my hospitality jobs and focus on my grades, graduating with honors. We travel to Queenstown for ski trips, and he's taught me so much about business and life. It's the most supportive relationship I've ever had."
From small-town life to international jet-setting.
Matched in Wellington | Traveling the World
Sophie's Story: "I'm a nurse in Wellington. I love my job, but the shift work is exhausting, and on a nurse's salary, travel was a luxury I couldn't afford. I wanted to see the world, not just watch it on Instagram. I met James on SugarDaddyMeet. He's an international consultant who splits his time between NZ and Singapore."
The Lifestyle: "James was looking for a travel companion—someone fun, flexible, and easy-going to join him on business trips. Our first trip was a long weekend in Fiji. It was magical. Since then, we've been to Japan, Australia, and all over New Zealand. He loves showing me new places, and I provide the warm, caring company he misses while being away from home."
Why It Works: "We are both very clear about what we want. I don't want marriage right now, and neither does he. We enjoy the moment. He respects my career and schedules our trips around my roster. It's a perfect balance of excitement and stability."

Short snippets from happy members across New Zealand.
"I was skeptical at first, but SDM is different. The verification process made me feel safe. I met a lovely gentleman from Hamilton, and we've been seeing each other for six months. He's respectful, kind, and generous."
"As a busy surgeon, I don't have time for traditional dating apps. I wanted straightforwardness. I met Sarah on here, and she is a breath of fresh air. No games, just great company and conversation."
"Finding a Sugar Daddy in Napier seemed impossible until I joined this site. Now I'm dating a vineyard owner who treats me like a princess. We spend weekends tasting wine and enjoying the coast."
"I'm a single mum and needed someone who understood my time constraints. My partner is amazing. He supports me and my kids (indirectly) and respects that I can only meet twice a week. It's perfect."
