Fodor's Expert Review Lodge Bordeaux

With obvious references to France (but in a very Kiwi way), Lodge Bordeaux offers comfortable and stylish accommodations. There is a range of rooms from studios to two-bedroom kitchen suites for those who want to cook. The rooms are well-appointed. The alfresco barbeque area has a gazebo for those days when the sun is too hot or the winterless north gets a touch of rain. Deals are sometimes available on the website.
