New Zealand's Boutique Properties

Audley's New Zealand team discuss their favourite boutique properties throughout the country and also what makes them so special.

Knapdale Ecolodge in Gisborne.

The unanimous view amongst the New Zealand team at Audley is that our favourite properties are those with outstanding hosts.

What makes a hotel a 'boutique property'?

A property can have the most spectacular location with incredible views and luxurious rooms, but if the hosting and ambiance don’t match, then there is a real sense of something lacking.

All our favourite hosts bring something special to their property, be it their own life experiences, their local knowledge, their culinary skills or simply their enthusiasm, but occasionally we meet people who have a very specific interest which has driven their desire to welcome people into their homes.
