| Description |
| With a name taken from the modern Maori word for ‘paradise', you'd be right in thinking Paratiho is no run-of-the-mill lodge. Instead, expect a luxurious homestead filled with contemporary art, theatrical decor and an enduring sense of joie de vivre. |
| Location |
| Set in a beautiful valley on a 2,000-acre sheep farm, Paratiho offers peace and seclusion just 45 minutes from historic Nelson and its airport. |
| Accommodation |
| The six richly-decorated suites are the last word in comfort, where sheepskin rugs lie in front of open fires, bathrooms with freestanding tubs spill out into walled gardens and heated patios make for snug evenings spent star-gazing. |
|
| Pricing |
| Stay 2 nights in a Suite, on an all inclusive basis, from £1120 per person (5 Jan - 30 Apr 08) and from £1120 per person (1 Oct - 22 Dec 08). Flights and transfers available on request. |
| Facilities |
| Outside an exercise pavilion, small but well-equipped spa, tennis, fishing and a golf putting green await, although freshly-baked cookies in the sitting room, cookery classes in the open-plan kitchen and scrumptious Pacific Rim cuisine may tempt you back inside. |
