Kiwi calling

New Zealand is one of our closest neighbours – and among our favourites. And now there’s a high-flying way to take in three of the country’s most fabled luxury accommodations. Sign up for the Captain’s Choice ‘Luxury Lodges of New Zealand by Private Jet’ departing 15 October and you’ll spend 10 days blissing out at the Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, Huka Lodge and Matakauri Lodge. Your chariot – a business-class private jet with space for just 35 people – will cross the Tasman to the Bay of Islands region in the north, Queenstown in the south, then back to gleaming Lake Taupo. Good neighbours indeed. captainschoice.com.au
