description
The discerning traveller wants choice in the range of luxury accommodation offered to them - choice between hosted stays, self-contained and full-service luxury lodges.
New Zealand's hosted city, country, beach and off-the-beaten-track stays offer a bed and breakfast service and the opportunity to get to know the Kiwi characer at close quarters. This is what distinguishes hosted accommodation from the many motels and hotels - our host's interest in and sensitivity to the needs of their guests. Always, our hosts will give of themselves and share their way of life as well as sharing their home.
Self-contained cottages, vacation apartments and holiday homes, whether in the city or country, offer the opportunity to get away for a while - to recover from or prepare for the rigours of travel, or to just relax and soak up some sun or culture.
And when it is time to luxuriate in a full-service, boutique resort, Friars Guide properties offer some of the highest standards of service available in New Zealand.
Other accommodation guides have come and gone, but Friars has been consistently successful for four reasons. First is the size and quality of the images. Second is the volume of comprehensive and informative text. Third is the use of an objective writing style where marketing puffery and superlatives are not used everywhere. Fourth is the personal recommendation of the authors which is based on a personal visit to each property - if it does not meet our minimum standards for location, building, services and amenities, and delightful hosting, then it is not accepted for inclusion in Friars Guide.

adventure capital of the world
Queenstown, oft trumpeted as The Adventure Capital of the World
, is the home of adrenalin-rush activities such as bungy jumping and Fly By Wire
but also the starting place for many of the Great Walks of New Zealand and of the world. From the haunting magnificence of pristine World Heritage parks to the indulgent quality of international standard resorts, from isolated high-country sheep stations to highly groomed golf courses of international class, from rugged mountains with crystal-clear alpine lakes to a wild and deserted coastline, this region is diverse in so many aspects. The bustle of busy cafés and restaurants of Queenstown is complemented by the quiet charm of Arrowtown, rich in the history of the gold-mining era. To get away from the town and adventure activities, take a drive through the refined rural area of Dalefield, the challenging Skippers Canyon or the exclusive wineries of the Gibbston Valley. The exquisite beauty of the area is a walker's and photographer's delight and a big drawcard for honeymooners and for moviemakers to give visual pleasure to their creations. All year round, Queenstown is a must-visit place.
