Luxury Lodges In New Zealand



New Zealand from north island to south is a land of unsurpassed beauty. The luxury lodges in NZ draw upon and enhance this natural environment to offer a host of luxurious, pristine getaways.

5-Star, The Resurgence, awarded New Zealand's top environmental award, affords luxury lodge and self-contained bush style accommodation in a setting ideal for nature lovers and honeymooners or for a restful getaway from the fast and furious. Follow the Nelson Art and Wine trails, explore the Kahurangi National Park with a scrumptious breakfast or luncheon hamper, go kayaking, mountain biking and horse riding along the beach or through the pristine 50 acres of wilderness bush tracks, unwind with a long therapeutic massage or stimulating spa, and feast on fresh, local organic produce and wines.

The uniquely beautiful, tranquil Mt Cook National Park region hides a rare 5-star luxury resort, Matuka Lodge where every sumptuous room enjoys even more spectacular views of the Southern Alps. Take time to embrace the serenity and perfect mirror reflections of Lake Pukaki, lift off to explore the majesty of Mt Cook and the alps by helicopter and visit the Sir Edmund Hilary Alpine Centre, fish for trout in crystal clear streams, sip fine New Zealand wines as you relax on the overwater deck, embellish your tale of the one that got away before strolling into the elegant dining room to enjoy the fine cuisine - an unforgettable end to a perfect day.

Imposing Breckenridge Lodge resides in the picturesque rural tranquillity of the Hawkes Bay region. Offering personalised service to a maximum of 10 guests, staying at Breckenridge is an intimate time of escape. Sleep in a plush, king-size bed; enjoy fine wines and dining created from local organic produce, breath in the scents of cherry trees, roses and the natural bushland and listen to the call of the Bell Birds echo across the hillside.

Let your stress float away at Tahi as you go bushwalking and horse riding, walk to the private surf beach, go kayaking, boogie boarding, mountain biking, swimming and fishing. Rare birdlife abounds at this luxury secluded coastal retreat, backed by a rolling green hinterland dotted with unspoilt native forests.

Combining a working farm with luxurious accommodation, stunning Maungatautari Lodge, situated on Lake Karapiro, offers five superbly appointed super king-sized suites and three spacious garden villas. Get your heart pumping with jet-skiing, wake-boarding, sailing, donutting and water-skiing, slow down on a glowworm tour, horse riding, and stud tour, hiking and kayaking, or browse the region for antiques. Curl up beside a peaceful crackling winter fire, sip full-bodied local wines, and enjoy fine traditional English cuisine. Relax on your private balcony overlooking the Lake, the formal estate gardens and the infinity pool.


Voted in the 10 top luxury New Zealand lodges, Magic Cottages at Takou River is set in the stunning Bay of Islands region amid 5-acres of sub-tropical gardens. Kayak the pure tranquil Takou River, swim in solitude at Takou Bay, and spread out on the sand with a gourmet hamper. Snuggle down into sumptuous feather duvets and crisp linen, drifting off to sleep to the distant sound of the sea. Surrounded by more than 100 acres of peaceful countryside, Magic Cottage is the ultimate in romantic getaways, resplendent with open-air claw-foot bath, or relax back in the spacious, beautifully appointed Summer and River Cottages.

Another Bay of Islands gem, 5-star At Titore Lodge, overlooks Russell Harbour and the Pacific Ocean. Spacious, luxurious suites are beautifully appointed to make you feel welcome in this exclusive hideaway. Stroll down to the private beach, watch dolphins and whales play, indulge in a heavenly massage, stroll into the township of Russell to browse the galleries and take in the atmosphere over a cup of coffee, or take a leisurely harbour cruise. Then time to stretch out on a hammock in the award-winning gardens or watch the evening close in over the harbour from the patio.

Perhaps you'd like to sample the wines of Hawke's Bay when you stay in the elegant Greenhill The Lodge, stay in true Victoria heritage splendour at Mainholm Country Lodge enjoying the romance of four poster beds and a cosy wood fire, experience the refined intimacy and hospitality of Remarkables Lodge country estate, or escape to the world-class mountain-top luxury of Ohui Eco Lodge. The choice is yours.

These are just a selection of the luxury lodges in NZ. Now it's time to explore the beauty and wonder of the Land of the Long White Cloud and discover your own special place of magic.
