There's nothing like watching the sun set into the Tasman Sea from your own window.

🌊 Our Ocean View rooms at Beachfront Hotel Hokitika open straight onto Hokitika Beach, so the sunset is the last thing you see before falling asleep to the sound of the waves.

The best drive you'll do in New Zealand (so you should still give it the whole day)

Everyone goes to Milford Sound. But a lot of people don't realise that the journey is just as important as the destination.

You'll stop more times than you planned... Everyone does.

📌 Swipe for where to pull over.

Leave from The Village Inn Hotel Te Anau after breakfast and you'll be back in time for dinner.

🥾 By day three on the Milford Track you stop thinking about waterfalls and start thinking about a bath. 🛁

(and somewhere DRY to hang out your clothes)

We've got what you need after big days on the trail... Hot water, a proper mattress, soft pillow, and someone else cooking your dinner with real ingredients.

🛋️ You'll want to stay at The Village Inn in Te Anau. Trust us.

Book the night (or two) after.

Nobody plans to stop in Ōamaru. But when you do, you'll be texting everyone about it 🐧

🏛️ Walk along Main Street, straight out of the Victorian era
⚙️ Visit the quirky steampunk museum
🚂 Ride the Steam Engine afterwards
🐧 See 100s of Little Blue penguins returning from sea at dusk

In fact, Waitaki NZ is one of just two New Zealand locations to make the Lonely Planet 2027 Destinations list. If that doesn't convince you, we don't know what will...

So break up your drive, stay central at the The Brydone Hotel 🏨

Dive in the morning, waterfalls by afternoon, and a comfy bed to curl up in at the end of your day 🌊🌿

If Wellington's your base for exploring the wider region, the West Plaza Hotel makes the logistics easy.

Central location, comfortable rooms, and all the amenities and services close by, so you spend less time on trip admin and more time on the adventures.

Mainstay Hotels are now on the North Island, stay with us in Wellington

Te Anau is the last town before the wild ⛰️ Keep going past Te Anau and the mountains close in as the roads wind into prehistoric Fiordland.

If you're staying here, you're probably getting ready for something big (Great Walks, anyone?) or you're back after an epic adventure...

Either way, you'll need a hot shower, decent dinner and lush bed to rest 🚿

🌅 That's what The Village Inn Hotel Te Anau is for. We're in the middle of town, close enough to the lake that you can wander down for sunset and be back before your table's ready.

The thing our guests are most surprised by:
👉 there's a tour desk at our reception. So the Milford cruise, the glowworm caves, the lake trip, you can sort all of it when you check in rather than lying awake working out logistics. ✅

Swipe through, then come and see us in Te Anau, one of seven independently owned Mainstay hotels down the South Island.

You can be standing in a rainforest and back at the lake in time for dinner. 🏔️

🚗 Haast Pass is the best Wānaka day trip - the drive is spectacular, the stops are easy and the landscape turns to green glacier country.

Then you turn around, come back over the hill, and the whole lake opens up as the road winds along the lake. Don't forget to keep your eyes on the road 👀

Hotel is a few minutes from the water, with a bistro for when you're back from your day trip.

Save this for your next Wānaka trip.

📍 Wanaka Hotel, Wanaka

Four days on a road trip loop few people have done...but has recognised this region in its 2027 travel destinations list 🎉

It runs Invercargill, Te Anau, Wānaka, Ōamaru, then back round to where you started via Dunedin.

🚗 The journey is just as beautiful as the destination.

Lonely Planet says, “There is nowhere else in the world that I could spend my morning dressed in Victorian garb in a steampunk museum, my afternoon on a graveyard tour, and my evening watching little penguins come ashore."

With long empty stretches, stunnning mountain scenery, coastline you'll have almost to yourself, this is the perfect loop to explore the South through Waitaki NZ and Dunedin NZ

🛏️ There's a Mainstay hotel at the end of every leg, so you're never hunting for a bed at seven in the evening.

👉 Swipe for the full itinerary and save this for summer.
