What a great honeymoon location!

My suggestion would be to look at Southern Crossings. They are a wholesaler representing 98 luxury properties in New Zealand, 52 on the North Island and the rest on the South Island. Send me a PM if you'd like me to send you their brochure. They feature all sorts of properties from luxury hotels, boutique hotels, upscale B&Bs, eco lodges, and private retreats.

The one Virtuoso property in Auckland, possibly a good place to crash after your trans-Pacific flight, is Mollies, a small luxury boutique hotel named the best new small hotel in the world in 2005 by Harper's Hideway Report. The pictures look absolutely gorgeous, though I haven't been there. Booked through a Virtuoso agent, your amenities are:
  • Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
  • Complimentary continental breakfast daily
  • One spa bath treatment, drawn for guests' arrival
  • 12 Noon early check-in, subject to availability
  • 4 PM late check-out, subject to availability
It's not a FHR property.
