Here is New Zealand's secret boot!

Equidistant from the town of Nelson and the national parks of Kahurangi and Abel Tasman, at the southern tip of New Zealand, stands an original holiday resort, simply called “The Boot”, in other words, La Botte.

A pleasant pied-à-terre in New Zealand

The hotel, designed very precisely to take the shape of a giant boot, sits in the middle of an area of ​​vegetation, like a shoe that Gulliver forgot to put in his closet. Rather than a hotel, it is in fact a guest room accessible on Airbnb (from 178 euros per night).





This accommodation is just a 35-minute drive from Nelson City Airport. It can also be reached from the northern part of the island, by taking the ferry that drops you off at the port of Nelson. Its proximity to national parks and some of New Zealand's heavenly beaches make it a perfect… pied-à-terre.

Everyone will find something to suit them

Ever since Steve Richards and his partner Judy created this boot-shaped guesthouse in 2001, there's something for everyone. Visitors appreciate the originality of the various rooms and common areas with curved walls, yet perfectly equipped with custom-designed furniture.

The representatives of the region who spoke of eccentricity now praise the originality of the building, which has become an additional tourist asset. The two designers have become real local celebrities, having completely thought out and created this original structure from scratch.


So do not be offended if, studying the opportunity of a stay in New Zealand with your tour operator, the latter offers you La Botte. In any case, after the crocodile-shaped hotel seen in Australia, Oceania has no shortage of unusual accommodation!
