There come things to mind that better are left unwritten here!

spend a nice night in a hotel in Welly or masterton with spa treatments, meal etc?

The Hotel Museum is very nice if you're in Welly. Get an apartment, then a nice room service meal and chill out without the rug rats.

And contrary to other comments, we found plenty to do as visitors in Wellington for a weekend, including Te Papa.

Welly is a bit samey for me working there. The hotels in masterton etc have a min of 4 nights over easter

LOL. Tell him to take vats of DEET for the sand flys. Also, hope that the in depth safety breifing and training he gets is more than ours. "Don't fall out, see you ion 3 days".

Was one of the most memorable things I've done. Magical, and despite not being into all that mumbo jumbo yoghurt eating clap trap then I would say 'spiritual' too.
