Ontdek Nieuw-Zeeland

Absolute luxury – Nieuw-Zeeland

Het aanbod van hotels en lodges in Nieuw-Zeeland is zo gevarieerd als het land zelf. U vindt er overnachtingsmogelijkheden in overvloed.

Er zijn verschillende redenen waarom u voor uw volgende vakantie bepaalde accommodaties in Nieuw-Zeeland zou kiezen. Bekijk hieronder enkele van de accommodatiemogelijkheden die Nieuw-Zeeland biedt.

Geniet van de ouderwetse charme van het Nieuw-Zeeland van weleer. Kies uit landelijke boerderijen, karakteristieke en erfgoedhuizen, Art Deco villa’s en kleine, intieme Nieuw-Zeelandse accommodaties met boetiekopties.

De luxe accommodaties van Nieuw-Zeeland zijn vaak te vinden op de meest verbluffende locaties. Maak uw reis extra speciaal met een unieke accommodatie-ervaring. Exclusieve luxe accommodaties, die vaak de nieuwste stijlen in Nieuw-Zeelands interieurontwerp laten zien, bieden de veeleisende reiziger een uitzonderlijk hoog niveau van kwaliteit, service en luxe. U vindt luxe en boetiek- en lodge-accommodaties gunstig gelegen dicht bij de belangrijkste centra van Nieuw-Zeeland, maar vaak gelegen in rustige oases die het meeste uit de landschappen en inheemse bossen van Nieuw-Zeeland halen.

Nieuw-Zeeland biedt een ruime keuze aan milieuvriendelijke en natuuraccommodaties in het hart van de natuurlijke omgeving van het land. Meditatieve retraites, yoga en andere ontspannende activiteiten die lichaam, geest en ziel behandelen, zijn vaak beschikbaar. Kies uit strandhuisjes, lodges en hutten in Nieuw-Zeeland.

Over het algemeen is het Noordereiland een goede introductie tot het land voor gezinnen met jonge kinderen (vanaf peuters), terwijl het Zuidereiland vol zit met genoeg spannende activiteiten en adembenemende natuur om zelfs de moeilijkste tieners te vermaken. Gewoon perfect voor gezinnen. Nieuw-Zeeland is een geweldige bestemming voor gezinsvriendelijke vakanties, en waar u ook heen reist, er is altijd genoeg te doen en te zien voor kinderen.

Voor kunstliefhebbers zijn er accommodaties die vaak eigendom zijn van Nieuw-Zeelandse kunstenaars, beeldhouwers en creatieve ambachtslieden. Vermeldingen voor kunstminnende accommodatiezoekers omvatten vaak prachtig ontworpen interieurs, antiek en gemakkelijke toegang tot eigen galerieën (bijv. houtdraaien, aardewerk en aquarelschilderen) of lokale centra voor kunst en kunstwerken.

Nu Nieuw-Zeelandse wijn een internationale reputatie voor uitmuntendheid krijgt, is een verblijf in een van de wijngaardaccommodaties van het land een uitstekende manier om letterlijk de Nieuw-Zeelandse wijnbouwindustrie te proeven. Zoals veel wijnen is accommodatie in wijngaarden vaak boetiek en van zeer hoge kwaliteit.

Met veel boerderijen gelegen in een van de mooiste landschappen van Nieuw-Zeeland, is een verblijf op een boerderij en genieten van warme, landelijke gastvrijheid een zeer plezierige manier om delen van Nieuw-Zeeland te zien die andere reizigers die de gebaande paden volgen, misschien niet te zien krijgen.

Bed and breakfast-accommodatie in Nieuw-Zeeland biedt de mogelijkheid om het leven in een echt Nieuw-Zeelands huis te ervaren. Bed and breakfasts variëren van gezinswoningen tot luxe boetiekaccommodaties, maar vriendelijke ontvangsten van gastheren en heerlijke ontbijtjes zijn gebruikelijk bij de meeste B&B’s.

Locatie! Rustgevende, ontspannende en vredige Nieuw-Zeelandse lodges en retraites bieden vermoeide reizigers een perfect tegengif voor een druk leven. Ga op reis naar afgelegen locaties op het Nieuw-Zeelandse platteland en laat u overgeven aan luxe, service en het prachtige landschap.

Gun uzelf een welverdiende pauze en neem wat tijd om bij te komen in een van de prachtige resorts en gezondheidsspa’s van Nieuw-Zeeland, gespecialiseerd in spabehandelingen, schoonheidstherapieën, ontspanning en recreatie die zijn ontworpen om zowel lichaam als geest te verjongen.

Laat ons u helpen bij het plannen van uw volgende vakantie en de accommodaties die het beste bij u passen!
