The NZ Lodge
The New Zealand lodge is almost a travel genre in its own right; and, like the safari lodge,the ranch and the spa resort, it comes with a set of defining experiences. Chief among these is wilderness, something that NZ — populated by just 4m people — has in excess. The North Island is as emerald as Ireland in spring, with a lively topography sculpted by volcanoes; the South Island is dominated by the snow-capped Southern Alps, ranges as commanding as their namesakes.
From The Times an article on New Zealand/s best boutique lodges.
Interestingly and perhaps patronisingly the author of the piece suggests New Zealanders lacked the panache to develop truly great lodges and their emergence has been due to foreign investment and guidance.
