Indulgence New Zealand is a country of majestic landscapes and breathtaking natural beauty; Te Ika-a-Māui (the North Island) is characterised by magnificent coastlines, lush farmland, geothermal wonders, and rich Māori culture. Dramatic scenery abounds in Te Waipounamu (the South Island), where snow-capped mountains tower over pristine lakes and fiords, and vast expanses of untouched ancient forest thrive. The finest luxury lodges showcase outstanding locations throughout Aotearoa while offering premium, personalised experiences. Expect unparalleled comfort, exceptional hospitality, and activities tailored to meet individual needs. From stately historic homes to contemporary architectural masterpieces, these properties can be found perched on clifftops above the ocean, immersed in native forest, positioned elegantly on country estates, on the banks of mighty rivers, and on world-class golf courses. This collection of luxury and boutique lodges will ensure your holiday is full of unique New Zealand moments and complete indulgence.

The lodge provides luxurious accommodation, a place for guests to relax in the intimate indoor/outdoor setting, and a base from which to explore the maritime landscape. The five Tree Houses are unique, nested 10m or more above the ground in a canopy of native kanuka trees and designed to complement the natural environment as your bedroom in the sky. The large windows bring the tree canopy inside and afford impressive views of the mountains and ocean. Lodge suites all offer large soaking tubs, king-size beds and

The press has been relocated, and the building has been converted into a beautifully realised three-bedroom owners cottage that will comfortably accommodate a large family or three couples. The area in which the lodge is located was designated on the first European maps of the district as ‘Kai Whare’, the Māori term for ‘house of food’. Today, the dining room is at the heart of the Hapuku Lodge experience. Here you can watch the food being prepared and chat with the chefs as they plate your meal.

Wild Luxury Australia affords the discerning traveller unique opportunities to experience ancient landscapes and an Indigenous culture unlike anywhere else in the world. The great continent remains largely untamed, with lush northern rainforests, vast red deserts with rugged canyons and mountain ranges, endless pristine coastlines, and native bush teeming with strange and beautiful endemic flora and fauna. Luxury takes many different forms in Australia – treehouses perched riverside in the Daintree Rainforest, safari-style tents and pavilions on the beach, red desert dunes, bushland and ancient coastal floodplains, tropical island retreats on the Great Barrier Reef, Barossa and Hunter Valley wine country escapes, elegant country houses in landscaped gardens, and cutting-edge design and art hotels. All are devoted to the highest standards of comfort and quality, whilst connecting guests with a genuine sense of place and offering world-class signature experiences. Let Australia’s wild luxury capture your imagination and create lifelong memories.
