The Best Resorts in the World: 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards
"This upscale Relais & Châteaux property, popular with Dutch and British royals, is worth the 45-minute drive southwest of Martinborough for the green setting alone. The luxurious farm stay sits on 3,000 acres abutting Palliser Bay's Pacific coastline in one direction, and soaring New Zealand mountainscapes in the other. Edwardian cottage suites and villas with beamed ceilings, private kitchens, and fireplaces give it a luxe lodge feel, while heated indoor and outdoor pools, a spa and gym, and flatscreen TVs keep comfort top of mind. The on-site farm-to-table restaurant offers a four-course degustation-style tasting menu powered by the wine country land around you, and activity options include horseback riding, wine tasting, archery, stargazing, and coastal e-bike tours." - CNT Editors
