Two Waterfront Havens Expand New Zealand Waterfront Collection
NOVEMBER 29, 2006. Holiday dreams merge into reality at an Essence of New Zealand waterfront haven. Imagine your own exclusive haven where totally personalised services are delivered in unique style. Imagine no longer. Choose from harbour-side luxury, lake-edge retreats and an enchanted island cove, Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo and Waiheke Island.
Waiheke Landing on Auckland's eclectic magical island Waiheke and Taupo Moana Landing at Lake Taupo are the newest additions to this luxury collection of 5 star holiday homes. Choose both peace of mind and simply utter peace. Each Essence NZ stay enables guests to have exclusive-use of an entire property. All the services of a luxury lodge are available, from concierge, to butler, to personal chef, your choice - if and when you desire.
"Each haven is exclusive. Shut the door and satisfy your own dreams. Dine in your bathrobe or your pearls or both, soak in the spa bath till dawn," offers Jennifer McBrearty, managing director, Essence of New Zealand.
New to the waterfront haven collection are Waiheke Landing on Waiheke Island renown for its vineyards, artists and white sandy beaches and Taupo Moana Landing on Lake Taupo surveying a vista of fresh, deep water with mountain peaks beyond. Nurture your soul - stay for a weekend or a week. Relax and renew as you "essence-hop" at your own pace through New Zealand experiencing the very special locations the Essence NZ collection has to offer.
Five waterfront havens include Viaduct Landing an inner-city oasis downtown Auckland, Waiheke Landing with its own private cove on an island in Auckland's gulf, Pukeko Landing on the shores of nature-enriched Lake Tarawera, Taupo Moana Landing and Te Kowhai Landing perched on the edge of Lake Taupo, a jewel in the North Island's central plateau.
