Best Luxury Hotels in New Zealand
The land that brought us the All Blacks, Flight of the Conchords, manuka honey and the haka may be a long way away, but it’s a bucket list trip that’s sure to reawaken the imagination and nourish the soul. The scenery found on these two islands is so diverse and magical, that it’s been the backdrop for otherworldly movie sensations like Lord of the Rings. Follow the film set trail, or embark on a tour of vineyards across the 10 wine regions. You might like to delve further into the land’s culture at the capital Auckland’s visitor attractions, hike the incomparable countryside, or visit the glowworm caves in Te Anau and Waitomo
