The Otahuna Luxury Lodge in New Zealand, is hidden away in Tai Taipu just twenty minutes drive from Christchurch and is undoubtedly one of New Zealand’s finest hotels. It sits at the head of a secluded valley  and is a place to go to completely escape relax and unwind, and is a must stay at destination on any New Zealand Vacation.

Otahuna is an ideal stopping off point on your way to the Southern Alps, or the best place to stay to visit Christchurch and not be in the hustle and bustle of a city.

If you get the right time of the year then Otahuna is famous for its display of 20,000 golden daffodils in the springtime.

Otahuna Lodge has been named in the Tatler magazine as one of the world’s top 101 hotels.

There is no doubt that Rotorua is one of the top New Zealand Vacation Spots, not least because of the Geysers, but if you visit, then there is only one place to stay, and that is Peppers on the Point, the highest quality accommodation available in Rotorua.

It is surrounded on three sides by Lake Rotorua, quite the most stunning location, with wonderful panoramic views from almost every room in the hotel.
