FOUR STAR LODGE SET ON THE EDGE OF ROLLING VINEYARDS
Breckenridge Lodge has a total fixation with comfort, sumptuous chef-created food and fine wine. Well, it is set in the heart of the fabled wine country of Hawke’s Bay
Pre-dinner drinks designed to whet your appetite. A thoroughly indulgent degustation menu stretching over five courses – accompanied by carefully chosen wine highlighting the Hawke’s Bay area’s finest vintages. A chef whose dedication to fresh, seasonal and regional ingredients borders on fanaticism.
Decide to stay at Breckenridge Lodge during your luxury, tailor-made holiday to New Zealand and you could be forgiven for thinking you’ve reserved a place in foodie nirvana. But, of course, there’s more. The countryside surrounding Breckenridge is breath-taking. The picturesque Omarunui Valley rolls open before your eyes, the pretty Art Deco city of Napier is a short drive away; the unspoiled, typically New Zealand towns of Hastings and Taradale are also easily accessible. And, in the distance, the regal Kaweka Ranges frame the horizon.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly.
