Thanks listener2 and Groombridge!

My husband and I are big foodies and really like a bit of history, so I think Otahuna shall definitely stay on the list. Plus, it sounds like a trip to Kauri Cliffs or Cape Kidnappers is in order as well on the North Island. As they are both owned by the same person and are both golf resorts (we aren't big golfers frankly), I think we will only do one of them. Groombridge and listener2, did you do both or just one? Any thoughts on the merits of one versus the other?

And, has anyone experienced the other "superlodges" like Huka or Blanket Bay?

Really appreciate your help!
