Hamilton-based accommodation provider Astra Motor Lodge is excited to have made it to the top three finalists for the 2015 AA Traveller Supreme Host of the Year award.
AA Traveller writes – When it comes to outstanding customer service, three motels have proven they’re the best in the industry and are now up for a national award.
Far flung Stewart Island’s Bay Motel, Radfords on the Lake in Te Anau, and Astra Motor Lodge in Hamilton are all finalists for the AA Traveller Supreme Host of the Year award.

5. A unique opportunity to experience the world’s purest tea in New Zealand’s only tea plantation.
To create the world’s purest tea, there can be no compromises. It must be grown in an unspoiled environment, to the highest of quality standards and crafted by the world’s best tea masters.
Zealong is premium tea grown, processed and packaged from a single source in the pristine air and soils of New Zealand. Produced to international food safety standards, Zealong is free of chemical sprays, fertilisers or additives.Your first sip will tell you this is special tea. From the delicate colour and aroma, to the pleasant tang on the palate and sweet aftertaste, this is pure tea at its finest.

The spring is fed from the Mamaku Plateau where the water takes up to 100 years to filter through; the resulting water is so pure and clean that it produces a beautiful blue colour while being virtually clear.
