Boutique and Luxury Accommodation

Creative Adventures selects boutique accommodation throughout New Zealand to make your escorted private or small group tour just that much more special.

After each adventurous day you will need somewhere to refresh and relax. Boutique private hotels and Bed & Breakfasts are our preferred accommodation. We personally select properties that offer you something special, that become an integral part of your total New Zealand experience. What is luxury without hospitality? Luxurious rooms are available in all manner of accommodation but we choose to stay with hosts who have the time to give excellent personal service.

Accommodation is chosen for the amazing hosts as much as the special location and superb facilities. Our overwhelming belief is that friendly, personal service is more often found in character B&Bs and small, private hotels.

“It was a fabulous holiday! The personal touches

made it unique and unforgettable” – Joyce W

Location is an important factor when we select your accommodation. You may find yourself in a secluded valley surrounded by native forest, one jump away from a sandy beach, or dwarfed by mountains. During the few nights you spend in a city, your hotel or B&B will be where the action is, with shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions nearby.

A few examples of our chosen accommodation are described below. In some locations a high quality motor-lodge is the best option and compares well to any room in a major hotel. All rooms have a Queen/King bed or two Single beds as you prefer, and a private ensuite bathroom.

New Zealand uses the Qualmark system to grade accommodation with 1 - 5 stars, within different categories (e.g. Backpacker, Hotel, Exclusive). For most of our scheduled tours we arrange accommodation with a 4-5 star average standard. Different tours will have different standards to suit the tour price.

Couples, families and small groups doing a private tour will have accommodation selected to suit their wishes - from first-class motels to Exclusive Luxury lodges (which are beyond 5-star).

The Wellesley Hotel, Wellington
The Wellesley is a magnificently restored Grade One heritage building, designed by William Gray Young in 1927. This masterpiece is regarded as Wellington’s finest example of neo-Georgian architecture. In 2000 the hotel was tastefully restored, retaining its charm and elegance. Superbly appointed, spacious suites have some fine touches and all the facilities you could need. Visit their website at www.thewellesley.co.nz

The Resurgence Lodge, Nelson
On the doorstep of the Abel Tasman & Kahurangi National Parks, The Resurgence is nestled in 50 acres of native bush. The five-star luxury Lodge Rooms and self-contained Cottage Suites all have ensuite bathrooms, private balconies and spectacular views. Facilities include a large guest lounge, log fire, internet, books, pool, spa and bush walks. Great for people who enjoy nature and good food in a little valley away from the madding crowd.

Kimeret Place B&B, Nelson
Ideally located with Nelson City, and the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi national parks only a short drive away, this coastal-rural B&B has wonderful views over the Waimea Inlet. All the elegantly appointed ensuite rooms offer luxurious touches (nearly 5-star). Freshly cooked breakfasts are served indoors or alfresco on the terrace overlooking the water. Other features are the heated outdoor pool and spa, quiet guest lounge and internet access. Visit their website at www.kimeretplace.co.nz

Warners Historic Hotel, Christchurch
An accommodation business has existed on the Warners site since 1863, but it wasn't until a devastating fire occurred in 1900 that the current brick building was built. Located in Cathedral Square, right in the heart of the city, Warners Historic Hotel was extensively restored and re-furnished in 2000. The elegance and old fashioned charm of the early 1900's has been retained, including two magnificent Victorian Lantern ceilings, oak panelling and original furniture. All rooms are ensuite with modern facilities. Visit their website at www.warnershotel.co.nz

Olivers Lodge, Clyde, Central Otago
Oliver’s Boutique Lodge is steeped in history and is undoubtedly a unique experience in warm local hospitality, dining and accommodation. Spread amongst the several historic stone buildings are a variety of ensuite rooms, each with their own unique character. We will have dinner in the onsite restaurant and breakfast in the farmhouse kitchen. Visit their website at www.olivers.co.nz
