Now for the unwinding bit. Stay for two nights at Solitaire Lodge, one of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. It’s hidden on a private peninsula in Lake Tarawera, surrounded by bush and birds as well as water with views to Mt Tarawera – a luxurious refuge in which to recharge after all those exertions.
Among its delights it lists sumptuous suites, a spa pool, library, private jetty and restaurant where dinner and breakfast on both days are part of the prize. Bliss.
