The Lodge at Paratiho Farms

If luxury accommodation is a fine art, The Lodge at Paratiho Farms is a masterpiece. This distinctive Relais & Chateaux associate resides in the town of Nelson, New Zealand, on the northern tip of the South island. Each of its six suites, adorned with works by local artists, is its own private gallery. �oeParatiho” is the Maori word for paradise, which describes this unique hospitality experience and its fine South Pacific-influenced cuisine.

The region�(TM)s splendors include galleries, artist�(TM)s studios and a vibrant cafe culture. You�(TM)ll find inspiration in the surrounding native forests and golden beaches as you embark on a fly fishing expedition, a chartered scenic flight, a day of golf, an afternoon of kayaking or even a sky-dive. Onsite pastimes, such as tennis, croquet and treatments at the Health & Beauty Spa, are equally engaging.
