With games in Dunedin and Christchurch, McGoldrick said they shouldn't go past a trip to Queenstown. For those travelling to Nelson matches, she said the region's beaches were beyond compare.
"In Hawke's Bay you've got fantastic wine country if that's what you like to do and, when you go to Auckland and Wellington, there are many cool, funky shops if that tickles your fancy," she added.
No formal programme will be in place for players' loved ones but the World Cup Local Organising Committee is working with host cities to put together tourism options.
McGoldrick - a member of the Hauraki Breakfast Show team and a Sky Sport presenter - will juggle broadcasting commitments with supporting Guptill.
"It's pretty special watching him putting on a silver fern and representing his country because I know how much it means to him," she said.
"Words can't really describe how proud I am."
Other proud partners set to cheer on their cricketing superstars include Fox Sports TV presenter Lee Furlong, the wife of Australian allrounder Shane Watson, and Jessica Bratich Johnson, the businesswoman and former karate world champion, who is married to Aussie quick Mitchell Johnson.
Star bowler Dale Steyn, of South Africa, is often accompanied by his partner, model and actress Jeanne Kietzmann. Danielle de Villiers is a regular traveller with her husband, South African captain AB de Villiers, and JP Duminy's wife, Sue, may also make the trip.
The Brits also have models on their arms; Broad's bowling partner James Anderson is married to model Daniella Lloyd.
But the Indian team will be without their partners after the Board of Control for Cricket India ruled they could prove a "distraction".
That means batsman Virat Kohli will be without Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, seen as a calming influence on the fiery right-hander.
Hayley's song from heart

Kiwi songstress Hayley Westenra will be singing from the heart during next month's Cricket World Cup opening ceremony.
The Canterbury soprano jetted back to New Zealand this week from London to star in the February 12 event at Hagley Park. The Herald on Sunday joined Westenra for a rehearsal in Auckland on Thursday where she sang a moving rendition of a song the newspaper has agreed not to reveal.
Christchurch rebuild scenes will play in the background as Westenra performs with a children's choir.
"To have the opportunity to sing this song on home soil for a home crowd is such a special occasion. It's something I'm really excited about and it's an honour to be a part of it."
Tens of thousands of people will attend the ceremony and a global TV audience in the millions will tune in.
Ceremony creative director Jonathan Alver predicted there wouldn't be a dry eye in Hagley Park during Westenra's performance.
"Hayley is so perfect because she has an emotional connection with Christchurch, but also she's got a wonderful ability to get into your heart."
Cricketing greats Sir Richard Hadlee and Stephen Fleming will feature in the show and rower Rob Waddell will appear in a video montage.
