Perhaps everyone has yearned for a secluded life of “facing the sea and blooming in spring”. Tired of seeing the busy traffic and steel forest in the city, the lakes and mountains here may make you find the tranquility of returning to nature. This experience away from the hustle and bustle of business is particularly precious at the moment when we are in a hurry.

I believe many friends have envied the undisputed days in Dear Inn, which has also made Lugu Lake a popular destination. In fact, there are many hidden and luxurious huts hidden in New Zealand. They are low-key and exquisite, with stunning scenery, and can make every night of the journey the ultimate enjoyment.
