We're picked this food mecca and beautiful lodge near Lake Taupo. The Huka Lodge is nestling along the banks of the magnificent Waikato River, upstream from the mighty Huka Falls.

When it comes to “living wallpaper” it doesn’t get much better than this lakeside property, tucked into the Queenstown hillside. The nine beechwood and stone lodges look out across Cecil Peak and the dramatic Remarkables mountain range, and down to stunning Lake Wakatipu below, as if teetering on the very edge of Mr JRR Tolkien’s Middle Earth. Which, thanks to Mr Peter Jackson’s repeated visits to film The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies, they are. These are some of the most breathtaking panoramas of what many consider to be the most beautiful place on earth: New Zealand’s South Island. After a day’s jet-skiing or hiking to the hot springs, there’s no better place to relax than in your double-person spa tub with bi-fold opening windows, admiring Mr Tolkien’s realm.

Help us enjoy falling asleep to the amazing views of the Pacific Ocean.

We love these French streak knives forged from ultrastrong Swedish Sandvik steel.

Gibbston vs. Willamette Valley...let's see who's Pinot's better. Queenstown and nearby Gibbston Valley is home to over 75 wineries producing a wide range of wine varieties. The area is especially known for its Pinot Noir. Help us with a day trip to do cellar wine tastings and have lunch at an excellent restaurant at one of the wineries.

Both Sarah and Sam grew up horseback riding (Sam did it for one summer before returning to Sports Camps; Sarah convinced her father she should have a horse). Help us enjoy New Zealand on horseback with a guided tour, trekking through amazing scenery. We'll be riding through filming locations from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit!

Help us see New Zealand from the air in a helicopter to Milford Sound, including a glacier landing!

Not George's restaurant but one of the best in New Zealand. Help us enjoy a 7 course meal to start the Honeymoon off right!

Help us get the trip started with some champagne cocktail's and small plates at Hotel DeBrett's Art Deco Drawing Room.

Once a lowly parking garage, now a funky new waterfront bar and bistro, Tyler Street Garage wears its humble heritage proudly: the industrial fabric of the building is still clearly visible in its rough brick walls, exposed utilities and original parking signage.

Help us eat our favorite meal at the Conservatory! Created by the owners of The Attic at Mission Bay, The Conservatory at North Wharf is a wine bar, cocktail bar and restaurant with a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere with areas for lounging, dining and having a drink. It even has an outdoor open fire with views towards the sea.
