Wonderful trip. We'll done, only a couple of things:
Didn't really need or want buffet breakfasts. We upgraded Hermitage buffet to table service Panarama Room was Excellent and way better than buffet. Auckland evening cruise was nice but the 3 course dinner only so so. Would have benn better at a nice restaurant afterwards. The Fable in Auckland was NOT up to our standards. AC barely effective, couldn't open windows, stale odor. Shower temp up and down.... On the plus side Azure in Queenstown was WORLD CLASS!!

Hotel Review
Azur Lodge
Queenstown

We travel the world at best small inns etc. Azure is world class. Amazing villa and stunning window views with private deck. Staff was incredible and super friendly and helpful. Small bites, canapes, and breakfast was gourmet. Can't wait to go back!
