I was recently invited to stay at Treetops Lodge. I had been there before for an event, so was not totally surprised by what was awaiting us. Yet Treetops exceeded my expectations. From the moment my husband and I arrived we felt we were in a special place. If I would have to describe staying at Treetops in just a few words it would be a –magical experience that touches the soul-
Treetops is not just about how luxurious it is or not, or how beautiful the decor is or not, or how spoiled you feel by all the amenities in your villa or not.

Recently my husband and I had the pleasure of being hosted at the luxury Takatu Lodge and what a treat it was!
From the moment we arrived we felt we had left the stress of the city behind us. A warm welcome from Heather made us feel very at home and we were shown to our suite which was very tastefully decorated with wonderful views over their vineyard to the ocean.

I recently stayed at Bay of Islands Lodge and would like to send my biggest thanks to Peter and Glennis Meier who made this stay so wonderful.
Bay of Islands Lodge sits in a native bush reserve, a true piece of paradise, secluded and remote from everyday life, and yet so conveniently close to Paihia.

My husband & I stayed at Esther’s Place back in Nov 09. We were met by Greg who was very friendly and showed us through the apartment & all its great little knick knacks. It is a really well appointed apartment, great location & outlook.
The breakfast provisions provided were suffient enough for ourselves & any guests that may have shown up! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a 2 bedroom+ apartment in Napier.

I recently stayed at the Waipoua Lodge near the Kauri Forest. As a travel agent I was always hoping to find a perfect stay near the magnificent Kauri Forest area in Northland. It makes the journey for all our guests much easier and relaxed instead of travelling straight through to the Bay of Islands. The carefully restored character building has a warm and welcoming interior.
The host and staff of the lodge gave us a very warm welcome and we enjoyed relaxing in the well appointed and equipped suites. Dinner was delicious and in time to get on a guided spiritual journey through the giant Kauri Forest. After a good nights sleep I enjoyed a bush walk at the bottom of the house. It was a great start to the morning. In the end I would have liked to stay another night to be able to explore the area a little better and maybe get a chance to see Kiwis in the wild at the Traunson Park Forest. Next time!

For a night of understated style and pure comfort, you can’t beat the Bolton Hotel. From the cosy yet sophisticated lobby to our spacious and modern suite, this hotel is a pleasure. I found the staff most helpful and responsive, with a good sense of humour. Within easy walking distance of the shops and restaurants, the Bolton successfully mixes convenience with pleasure.
It is not surprising that all our clients who have stayed here have said they would like to stay longer!

Thanks to Peter & Bobbie for a magical stay at Edenhouse. I was thoroughly looked after from the moment I stepped off the plane at Nelson Airport. Peter was there to meet me and we went straight to lunch to enjoy a perfect sample of Nelson’s delicious food and wine.
Onto Edenhouse; a “hi” to Bobbie, a quick tour of the estate and an introduction to Annie the beautiful Golden Labrador and Guest Liaison Officer. I then enjoyed a relaxing afternoon followed by a delicious evening meal and then early to bed due to our pending early start the following morning.
What a stunning property – and so much of it hand worked with love and dedication. This is a home open to the world, a chance for the international visitor to connect with an amazing piece of the country.
Thanks for the delightful stay and chance to refresh!

My partner and I recently had an amazing opportunity to spend a weekend at Kawaha Point Lodge in Rotorua. We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and the well kept grounds surrounding the property. We were greeted with friendly smiles, hand shakes and felt immediately at home in this elegant lodge. The service and attention to detail was impeccable, and the food was superb. We came away feeling very pampered, totally relaxed and de-stressed.
