Just an hour north of Auckland is probably one of the most fabulous relaxing and secluded hideaways and welcome sights any long distance traveller would dream of – Waimana Point Lodge. Most of their overseas guests are from Europe and it is truly a sub-tropical and breathtaking paradise.
The staggering view walking into Cloud9 will linger forever. This is a $nz1700 a night four-bedroom holiday haven that is one of those places you must stay in before you die. Cloud9 is as close to heaven as you can get: A hilltop house above the sleepy village of Russell overlooking the Bay of Islands.
In New Zealand, Christchurch is the South Island gateway to what locals call ‘God’s own’, referring to this tranquil part of the world as a touch of paradise, somewhere between heaven and the stars. In many parts, the South Island is 100 percent pure nature.
Picture it: I am sipping champagne listening to Mozart just before Christmas in the Governor’s Suite at the Langham Hotel in Auckland New Zealand. The fabulous suite is all 83 square metres, seven plush rooms – the works! This is where celebrities and the rich and famous hideaway. A blind man could tell why the Langham in Auckland was named New Zealand’s best hotel in 2007.
It’s quite appropriate that The Lord of the Rings film trilogy was made in picture-postcard New Zealand and that Okuku Country Estate is also like walking back in time – 80 years ago. This is a grand house of the 1920s which has become a poorly-kept secret as one of the most relaxing hideaway lodges in heartland New Zealand.
This was the luxury journey to end all luxury trips: staying at four of the best resorts in New Zealand – three of them judged among the best hideaway spots in the world. The assignment: Six days and seven nights to enjoy Matakauri, Blanket Bay, Eichardt’s and Millbrook in and around Queenstown.
