Any one of the participating Lodges would provide an extraordinary and very romantic Valentine’s experience. Adding special Valentine’s gifts this year, makes this a great time for New Zealand couples to spend a few days together in a unique property,” said Ms Ryan.

The Lodges are offering the gifts for bookings between February 11 and February 19 2012 to make two weekends available for working couples.

Lodges that are members of the Lodges of New Zealand portfolio are small, intimate and considered the epitome of luxury and offering exceptional fine dining. They fulfill the promise of the outstanding New Zealand landscape, be it a lake edge or river bank, perched on a cliff top or mountainside, glorious gardens or the wilderness, set on a farm or vineyard, on the beach or an idyllic island.

“Lodges of New Zealand is a collection of 26 luxury lodges spread throughout the entire length and breadth of New Zealand, representing the top echelon of unique New Zealand luxury lodges.”

“A Valentine’s Day offer fits in perfectly with the Gift Voucher and Bridal Registry service that Lodges of New Zealand introduced within the last year.”
