There’s no way around it - Kauri Cliffs is FANCY. This colonial-style lodge is lavished in luxury and appears to be something out of an old-fashioned romance novel. While it’s particularly suited to those who’d like to play a round of golf on the world-class course their are plenty of leisure activities for non-golf playing love birds. Simply relish the chance to be alone in their luxury suites or indulge in fine cuisine in their restaurant. A trip to Kauri Cliffs is sure to get you in the good books for a very long time.

Every morning you wake, you look out over the incredibly old and ancient Split Apple Rock and that feeling alone helps ground you to the earth. There's amazing places to meditate and you are fed a nutrient-dense, healthy diet to help get your body and mind back on track.

I love eco travelling and my husband and I had the pleasure of staying in one of the tree houses at Hapuku Lodge during our honeymoon. Set just back off the beach and below the mountain ranges in Kaikoura, you feel like you are on top of the world when you wake up here. Everything about Hapuku Lodge is perfectly appointed, especially the incredible five-star dining experience they roll out every night in their world-class restaurant. This is one of the most unique places to stay in New Zealand and, if like me you love nature, I highly recommend it as a destination to visit.

If you love fishing and horse-riding, this boutique lodge, near some of the most famous fly-fishing rivers in New Zealand, is a must-visit. Alternatively if heli-skiing or hiking the Great Walks known as the Routeburn and Milford Tracks are more your thing then Blanket Bay's five-bedroom, three dining room lodge in Glenorchy needs to go onto your bucket list. It is known as New Zealand's best alpine escape because of the spectacular surroundings in which it exists. It's also where some of the most famous people in the world stay when they come to Queenstown. Sir Ian McKellen calls it "paradise on earth".

Queenstown's exclusive lodge resort, this high end accommodation has excellent views of the Southern Alps and low lying lakes. Although I can't afford to stay here, it's definitely a place I would stay if I could!!

If you want to experience the very best of Fiordland National Park, splashing out on a few nights at Fiordland Lodge is well worth the investment. Located in one of the most pristine environments in New Zealand, the lodge offers incredible views of the jaw-droppingly stunning Lake Te Anau and through to the park itself. It's worth staying for at least two nights so you can enjoy a scenic trip into Milford Sound and marvel at Milford Peak. If you love nature, bird-life, fishing and the great outdoors, this spot is for you.
