What defines luxury travel?

What makes a luxury holiday so... luxurious?

Be it a city hotel or remote lodge, staying in luxury accommodation is often about bespoke service as well as exquisite amenities and fine dining.

In this week’s episode of Trip Notes, NZ Herald Travel Editor Stephanie Holmes is joined by writers Juliette Sivertsen and Greg Bruce to discuss their most luxurious stays in New Zealand and abroad - and what sets those places apart.

Hear about what went on behind the scenes at Greg Bruce’s stay at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers in Hawke’s Bay, as the travel writers talk about their favourite luxury holidays, and how they change their behaviour when in high-class company.
