Leading the category 'Best to see the All Blacks win the world Cup' was Auckland City Hotel Hobson. According to a Platinum Member Hotel Hobson is "Very clean and comfortable, handy to everything. Far enough away from street noise of city. Good value for money. "

The Chateau Marlborough Blenheim was winner in the category 'Best Brekkie to wake up for' and, not surprisingly, it was another Marlborough hotel - Hotel D'urville - which took out the title of 'Best Cellar Door'.

Further south, Millbrook Resort laid claim to the title of the 'Best place to get hitched,’ while in another favourite tourist spot, Hamurana Lodge Boutique Hotel in Rotorua was considered 'Best for Mud Baths', about which one member said: "What a beautiful country estate in a pretty setting. Highly recommended and I shall definitely return."

Minaret Lodge in Wanaka headed off four other hotels in the town to be named winner of the 'Closest to Middle Earth' category. It was comments such as "My stay in their Lord of the Rings-themed Barliman's room was most memorable...thanks for a great stay!" which gave them the edge.

'Kiwi Chic for Design and Furnishings' winner was The Rees Hotel & Luxury Apartments in Queenstown, with one HotelClub Member commenting: "Beautiful hotel in an awesome location. The room was very comfortable and spacious."

Wellington's iconic Museum Hotel took the title for the 'Most Devilish Degustation Menu,’ while the Beech Tree Motel in Taupo has the 'Fluffiest Pillows.’
