| The best cooking school is the Ruth Pretty Cooking School in Te Horo. She does amazing one-day cooking classes in a fully equipped commercial kitchen out at her homestead, located in a very relaxed, rural setting. Afterward, the class sits outside in the sunshine and dines on a four-course meal. And her cute pug is always hanging around for the table scraps. |

| A well-kept secret in Arrowtown – a quaint, historic gold mining town about thirty minutes north of Queenstown – is Dorothy Brown's, a very chic boutique cinema tucked away off of the main street. Sit on a red fur-lined bench or bean bag chair by a roaring fire, read a book and have a glass of wine from the lobby bar while waiting for your movie. The theatre itself brings back the romance of a night at the movies with its beautiful crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and big, overstuffed seats with armrests that serve as tables. Patrons are encouraged to pre-order their wine and cheese boards at the bar before the film starts, and then pick them up during intermission to enjoy during the second half of the movie. |

| I loved staying at the Langham Hotel, Auckland. It sits on a rise of land across from a lovely old grave yard with lots of history. It's also dangerously close to great shopping that is local! If you trek down Karangahape Road crossing Queen Street in just a few blocks you will discover lovely shops with great deals; lots of imports from Asia too! After spending hours picking up unique items for bargain prices I ate the best Pad Thai ever at a food court nearby! |
