New Zealand: A lodge with gardens

"ON a recent trip to New Zealand, we had the pleasure of enjoying the company and culinary delights of a wonderful couple who run a delightful bed-and-breakfast called Ferry Landing Lodge. Adjoining the property is a Maori reserve and trail, an interesting historic site worth the small walk. We particularly enjoyed, at will, the homegrown fruit and vegetables from the well-tended gardens."

Doubles from $100.
