What to do, where to stay, and where to eat in New Zealand

New Zealand is the new Eden. The bountiful two-island nation in the southern Pacific offers much to lure visitors: breathtaking landscape with extremes both lonesome-shepherd-pastoral and Southern-Alps-dramatic; lodging that ranges comfortably between cozy sheepstation inns and stark glass-box hotels perched on coastal cliffs. You'll also enjoy New Zealand's booming food and wine culture, ambitious and inventive, and benefitting from a seemingly infinite variety of local produce. Bungee-jumping? Hiking? Winery visits? Volcanic hot springs spas? Name your activity or just relax and take in the otherworldly beauty. T+L has the maps, articles, travel deals, and up-to-date listings for our experts’ favorite hotels and restaurants that you need to plan your visit to Eden.
