Lodge at Paratiho Farms Voted Best Overseas Boutique Property
In Australia’s Luxury Travel Magazine
DECEMBER 17, 2007. The Lodge at Paratiho Farms, Nelson, New Zealand, a small but perfectly formed luxury lodge has been voted as the Best Overseas Boutique Property in Australia's Luxury Travel & Style Magazine's 2008 Gold List Awards.
Paratiho is based on a 2000 acre working farm close to the Abel Tasman National Park in the arty Nelson region. The Lodge is home to a phenomenal art collection, and with just six luxuriously appointed suites, a health & beauty spa, tennis courts, saunarium, swimming pool and gymnasium, is the perfect retreat for a long weekend away from the stresses of everyday life.
Now in its fourth successful year, Luxury Travel Magazine's Gold List awards are firmly established as Australia's premier luxury travel awards, and no wonder - they are voted for by people who really understand, and purchase luxury travel. Tens of thousands of Luxury Travel Magazine readers and the well heeled, well-travelled customers of Virtuoso - the most exclusive collection of elite travel agents in the world - filled out the survey.
This Gold List is one of the most comprehensive luxury travel surveys ever produced by an Australian magazine.
"We are absolutely thrilled with this award. Recognition like this certainly makes all the hard work worthwhile and spurs us on to take the lodge to even greater heights", says Victoria Bruce-Miller, Sales & Marketing Manager at the lodge. "This award is credit to our fantastic team here".
