Depart Hamilton/Cambridge early this morning (pick up from your home may be available). Our drive south takes us around picturesque Lake Taupo and across the remote Rangipo Desert. We’ll make some comfort stops as we need them and aim to arrive in Wellington before 5pm. If you are flying into Wellington, a shuttle transfer is available to the hotel. Check in to the Naumi Studio Hotel on eclectic Cuba St. Guests are transported to whimsical spaces inspired by the enduring love story of Lady Naumi – the original custodian of the hotel. This little hotel is not afraid of colour and perfectly located in the coolest little capital! Tonight, we meet for a cocktail and then dine in Lola Rouge Restaurant located within the hotel. Enjoy a menu combining a tasty range of local ingredients, colour, flavour, and texture to reflect the Oriental influences of Lola Rouge. Accommodation: Naumi Studio, Wellington (3 nights)
This morning, we drive over the Rimutaka’s to Greytown where you will have a couple of hours free time. On the Victorian main street, you will find boutique shops selling designer fashion, handcrafted treasures, exquisite homewares, antiques and much more. An alternative to shopping could be to hire a bike or take a walk around the streets taking in the various heritage buildings and sites of NZ’s first planned inland town. Lunch is at the popular Martinborough winery Poppies, renowned for their delicious platters served at convivial long tables. After lunch, you can choose from wine tasting at the beautiful Te Kairanga vineyard or have free time in Martinborough town. We’ll head back to Wellington late afternoon. Arrangements will be made for dinner at one of the restaurants close to the hotel or you can have a free evening to do your own thing. Wellington & Wairapa Oct 2024 – 3 nights
