Luxist Gets a Lesson in Living Well at Lebua’s Lake Okareka Lodge »

Filed under: Journeys

When your bread and butter is acquired by trotting around the world to tell tales of man- and womankind’s finest offerings, you get used to the finest. Akin to being a jeweler, when everything you touch sparkles because everything is a gem, it takes a jewel of the extraordinary variety to get your attention. After hopping on four planes to spend 24 hours in the air traveling from London to New Zealand, all to visit lebua’s Lake Okareka Lodge, we expected to encounter another fine, shiny object.

What we did not expect - but what we got - was a the finest 4-day stretch of living we’ve had in years, and a persistent lesson in what the best living is like. We hadn’t been on the property two minutes, and upon seeing the view from our suite we realized we had discovered one of the universe’s finest secrets: this is where God goes on vacation.
