It's been a couple of years since we were there, but my husband and I had an amazing stay at
Grasmere Lodge. It's a different type of lodge to the others - it's up near the mountains of Arthurs Pass in South Island. The natural landscape is really breathtaking, and we had some great activities there (nature hike, sheep shearing demonstration, etc.). We were upgraded to the Riverview Cottage, and the pictures on the website don't do the views from the cottage justice.
