Luxuriating in Nature

Getting back to nature doesn't have to mean roughing it in a tent. At Evergreen Lodge just outside the ski resort of Queenstown in the South Island, luxury accommodation goes hand in hand with bird spotting. Likewise, but more remote, wilderness lodges at Moeraki on the West Coast of the South Island and at Arthur's Pass in the heart of the Southern Alps are at the forefront of nature tourism, combining luxurious accommodation and excellent cuisine, with guided nature tours and conservation projects. Ecologist Dr Gerry McSweeney and his wife Anne Saunders developed their Wilderness Lodge concept at Lake Moeraki in South Westland in 1989.
