If you’re looking for a honeymoon with a difference, New Zealand is a country guaranteed to deliver. With the perfect blend of relaxation on untouched beaches and lush native forests, to adventure-packed activities, delicious food, fine wine and culture – there are few countries that offer a more varied and remote romantic getaway.

Your dedicated Travel Designer will ensure you get a completely bespoke experience of this distinctive country, carefully working with you to create a honeymoon filled with remarkable and memorable moments. We can arrange every detail you’ve dreamed of, as well as those you didn’t know, were possible. Fly over alpine ranges by helicopter to an active volcano, swim with dolphins, cruise fiords on private yachts, go on exclusive wine tasting tours and recline in the comfort of the country’s most lavish accommodation.

Throughout your luxury New Zealand honeymoon, choose from secluded lodges nestled in private bays, your own exclusive residences resting on the edge of glassy lakes and remote luxury cabins sitting atop spectacular mountain plateaus, only accessible by helicopter.

Luxury accommodation in New Zealand

There are many incredible places to stay in New Zealand. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Coromandel

970 Lonely Bay Lodge

Tucked away in the bush close to the seaside town of Whitianga, 970 Lonely Bay Lodge boasts stunning water views. Choose from three luxury one-bedroom suites, or a two-bedroom honeymoon suite, all with spacious terraces from which to enjoy views out over the Purangi Estuary, Mercury Bay, Cooks Beach and Shakespeare Reserve. Each suite features fine linens, luxury toiletries and king size beds. Large windows bathe stylish furnishings in natural light, while neutral hues and fabrics create an atmosphere of tranquility. When not relaxing in their rooms, guests can make use of the library, sitting room or entertainment area. Relax and rejuvenate in the indoor/outdoor solarium which has an opening roof to let in the fresh seaside air. Take a stroll through the manicured garden and request a picnic hamper, or sit down to a vintage afternoon tea. Continental breakfast and in-house dining is available by arrangement.

Queenstown and Wanaka

Eichardt’s Private Hotel

With a history intertwined with the region’s gold rush, the building of Eichardt’s Private Hotel carries with it the understated and classic elegance of a bygone era. With sweeping views of Lake Wakatipu’s emerald blue waters and eminent mountain peaks, it is a gateway to Queenstown and the untouched wilderness beyond. Choose from Eichardt’s lake view or mountain view suites, or the one- or two-bedroom apartments. For more privacy, or for those looking for a group getaway or family foray, there is the stand-alone three-bed Eichardt’s Residence which has a spacious kitchen, private dining area and sweeping balconies. The hotel bar has been considered a town favourite since 1867, providing the perfect environment in which friends and colleagues can sit down for a refreshing cocktail or a refined vintage from the famed Otago wine region. For those feeling peckish, there are comprehensive tapas menus to suit every palate, with locally sourced seasonal ingredients. The bar also serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a cosy dining area with a fireplace. From the hotel you can treat yourself to an extensive range of in-room spa treatments provided by a local spa, wander down to the lake edge or head into the heart of the action in bustling Queenstown.

West Coast and the Glaciers

Scenic Hotel Franz Josef Glacier

Located on the edge of Westland World Heritage Park, and a short walk from one of New Zealand’s most spectacular natural phenomenons, the Scenic Franz Josef is the perfect place from which to explore this beautiful part of the country. The 177 rooms and suites are split between two wings, the Douglas and Graham wings, and are simple, bright and spacious. Some come with private balconies. Start your day right with a hearty breakfast at the Canavans Restaurant, then return in the evening for delicious local fare, served alongside New Zealand’s world-famous wine. After a day on the ice, there are few better places to rest your feet than the Moa Bar. Named after the twin Moa statues that are an iconic feature of the property, you can grab a drink and relax in front of the fire or out on the balcony when the warmer weather arrives. Guests will also enjoy use of the spa at nearby Te Waonui Forest Retreat, which is just a few minutes’ walk away.
