This beautiful renovated villa offers three lovely rooms that will remind you of a relative's comfortable country house. The rates are moderate, and the hosts charming and helpful. They will serve you homemade preserves, muffins, and muesli, or a hot breakfast for a tad more.
This simple hotel offers low key accommodation without fancy add-ons—each room has en suite bathrooms, satellite TV, and tea/coffeemaking facilities and Wi-Fi.
With obvious references to France (but in a very Kiwi way), Lodge Bordeaux offers comfortable and stylish accommodations. There is a range of rooms from studios to two-bedroom kitchen suites for those who want to cook. The rooms are well-appointed. Deals are often available on the website.
The country setting of Lupton Lodge makes it a perfect place to retreat to after a day's traveling in the North, with five rooms, two apartments, a swimming pool, and gorgeous gardens. Close by are orchards and some lovely stretches of coastline. Breakfast is included and made-to-order dinners, including vegan are available. If you happen to be traveling by bike, whether the petrol- or pedal-powered variety, there is safe storage for your two wheels. The very nice hosts know a lot about the area.
