Forever remembered for its "The Lord of the Rings" legacy, New Zealand’s landscapes are deserving of their big screen fame—think lush rolling hills, volcano-sculpted moonscapes, UNESCO-listed glaciers, and white-sand beaches. Cities like Auckland, Wellington, and Queenstown follow suit, with photo-worthy scenery and a laid-back vibe.

Allegra House, our spacious, modern home with an apartment and 3 bed and breakfast rooms located just up the hill from central Paihia. All rooms have spectacular views out across the bay. The house has gardens, balconies and native bush for guests to enjoy during their time in this peaceful but convenient location - less than 10 minutes walk down to restaurants, cafes and boat departures and maybe just a bit longer for the walk uphill on the bush track. Brita and Heinz have lived in the area for well over 25 years and love to help you enjoy your time here. French and German spoken. Breakfast included in B & B rooms and an optional extra in the apartment.
Super location, with great views over the Bay from the top of the hill. Our room was super clean with a terrace, great bed, spacious bathroom and kitchenette. Hosts were super friendly, and made us a great breakfast with all the bells and whistles that you may think of. Highly recommended!

The accomodation was absolutely stunning and there were so many extra special treats to surprise and delight us during our stay. The staff were very friendly and looked after us so well during our stay. We can’t wait to come back!

GALAXY BOUTIQUE HOTEL is the latest boutique hotel in the Mackenzie Region, providing a unique high-quality accommodation experience. The Hotel is only 500 meters from Tekapo Village Center or the shore of Lake Tekapo, one of the most beautiful glacial lakes in New Zealand, one hour drive from Mount Cook National Park, and 3 hours from Christchurch or Queenstown. Each room offers views of Lake Tekapo. In-house guests can enjoy free breakfast, free SkyTV, free high-speed Wi-Fi and free call to Australia and New Zealand.
This hotel was an excellent overnight stay in Lake Tekapo and a chance to witness the International Dark Sky Reserve with millions of stars. The skylight above the giant super king bed meant you could see the stars and nebula all night. You can also press a button to close the skylight shutter, but it was much more interesting to leave it open. The rooms are super stylish and feature everything you need for your stay. Views of the lake from the room and bathroom with rainfall shower and luxury bathtub. Just a short 10 minute walk down into the town centre in this beautiful little town. Such a peaceful place.

Nice hotel in central Wellington. We had the 2 bedroom apartment which was really nice with spacious lounge, comfortable beds and compact kitchen. The only downside was the bathroom which was a bit small, with a tight corner shower. Overall though, great value hotel in great location.
