New winter packages from Heritage Hotels

Heritage Hotels and Resorts in New Zealand are properties that capture the essence of their unique and historic settings.

From an Art Deco department store site in Auckland to a restored 1930s lodge in Hanmer Springs, these hotels offer a warmth, style and personality rarely found in conventionally built hotels.

The chain has just released a vast choice of packages for the winter, catering from a quick hometown break to a gourmet delight and even an indulgent mineral springs spa experience.

The Heritage Auckland offers a leisure weekend package from $169 for a night in a superior room, with a cooked breakfast for two in Hectors restaurant, free use of health clubs, heated swimming pools, sauna, tennis court and free car parking. Book in for two nights and the second night is half price.

The Heritage Christchurch and Queenstown offer guests a classic package from $144 for a deluxe room stay including cooked breakfast for two in the restaurant.

The Heritage Hanmer Springs, 90 minutes by car from Christchurch, offers specialist packages, ranging from the classic $158 for a superior room and cooked breakfast for two in the Grand Dining Room, to the ultimate in indulgence.

A Heritage Hanmer Springs Indulgence experience includes a deluxe room stay, cooked breakfast in the Grand Dining Room, a 30-minute massage, half-hour steam and plunge pool dip, for two people, at the Hanmer Springs Thermal Reserve, for $245.

Foodies can also spoil themselves at the Heritage Hanmer Springs with a Heritage Cuisine package priced at $254 for a night's stay in a deluxe room, cooked breakfast for two, and an a la carte dinner in the Grand Dining Room prepared by chef Steve Kelly.

Prices are on a per night basis, are subject to availability and some conditions apply.
