Set in the mystical Fiordland of the south island of New Zealand, Takaro Peace Resort understood the great beauty of the region long before it became known as the scenery for middle earth in the lord of the rings. This recently opened luxury resort has been designed as a place to relax, unwind and recover from the stress of daily life. Its uniquely themed 5-element chalets have been created by a world leading Feng Shui consultant to encourage peaceful sleep.
The restaurant combines western and Chinese influences, and offers produce from the lodge's organic gardens along with homemade breads, dairy products and wine.
Takaro Peace Resort located on a 2000 acre private estate which is rich in activities, from trout fishing in the beautiful Upakerora River to hiking in the surrounding Fiordland National Park.
But while it's easy to pass the days in the great outdoors, many come here solely for the resort’s Energy Clinic glass Spa, home to the Best Massage in the World according to UK Vogue. The spa features exclusive body and soul care treatments, such as the 10 Hands Energy Massage.
