At the head of a secluded valley
in the breathtaking Canterbury region lies New Zealand's most
important historic estate -- Otahuna Lodge. Otahuna is an
intimate, exclusive retreat set in an 1895 manor house surrounded
by 30 acres of original botanic gardens. The Lodge's seven generous
suites retain grand architectural features from the 19th century
such as open fireplaces, exquisite timber panelling and stained
glass windows.
Situated at the base of the
Banks Peninsula, the Lodge is only 30 minutes' drive from Christchurch airport, making it the
ideal base from which to explore Canterbury. Wineries, private
gardens, championship golf, the majestic Southern Alps and even the
world's rarest dolphins are all just a short drive - or helicopter
ride - from the front door.
Otahuna has been featured in
many of the world's most celebrated publications including
Architectural Digest, The Financial Times and Town & Country
and has been named one of Andrew Harper's Top 20 International
Hideaways and the Best Hotel in Australia and New Zealand by
Gallivanter's Guide.
