Visions of New Zealand

Julian Robertson owns three properties near "down under." Kautri Cliffs, Cliffs Lodge and Matakautri Lodge. All properties I will love to stay at, or own one day. Sure, we are talking of a $30 billion investment firm. Julian, who is in his eighties, already has his kids on his wings already.
He says, "If you go, you need two weeks, because you spend two days traveling alone."
It is so true about hotels, it is not all about fancy food and sheets. The staff is very important. You want people that are ready to serve but not in a stuffy way. I too, will only hire people who are genuinely friendly. I remember having a few workers like that. They went to the mat for the business:  
The setting of the property is also important - you are looking for a place with great views or a pleasing environment. I like having a nice garden or being near a lake.

While on the UK travel pages. Are you an introvert when it comes to travel? Check out Scared Introvert Retreat Tours. The tour includes meditation, yoga, private rooms and the option to forgo group activities if you need to simple recharge.
The ten day tour comes with a $3,800 price including meals.
