A Place to Stay Hotels of New Zealand By Shelley-Maree Cassidy, Grant Sheehan

Deciding where to stay is one of the most important parts of planning a trip away. For those planning to visit New Zealand, the hotels in "A Place To Stay" will be an essential resource in making this choice. Modest or grand, large or small, modern or traditional, the only aspects these places have in common is that each is a one-off, original, and characterful. In "A Place To Stay - Hotels Of New Zealand", readers will find a wide range of choices to suit most tastes. From the luxury Lodge and Golf Course at Kauri Cliffs, in the far North, as far South as the 'misty mountains' of Fiordland and the back-to-nature Takaro Lodge, and many other places between, there is sure to be somewhere that appeals and inspires. This book is a photographic celebration of some of New Zealand's most interesting 'homes away from home'. And a record of the diverse and often impressive landscapes that surround them. Reviewing Peter Jackson's "Lord Of The Rings", one movie critic wrote, 'If locations were awarded Oscars, New Zealand would scoop the lot.' The country is already renowned for its scenery, its Maori culture, and its artistic cultural and sporting achievements. The tranquillity of New Zealand's open spaces is an increasingly precious commodity in a troubled world. New Zealand has been praised for both its exhilarating and relaxing outdoor activities. Now it has a growing and deserved reputation for its cuisine. There are many great places to stay, things to see and do, and places to eat. Those who live there can be proud of that. Those who go there to visit will find welcoming hosts and all the ingredients to make their time there both enjoyable and memorable.
