Meanwhile, she says Touch of Spice is continuing to add super-luxury properties to its Residence Collection of 50-plus VIP properties, most of which are in Queenstown or Wanaka. New additions include a Bob’s Cove home let out for $10,000 a night, Stelvio, in Queenstown Hill’s gated subdivision, The Peak, which charges $23,000 a night, and Villa Two in the brand-new The Elms at Lake Hayes, which is priced from $6000 a night. Spice: “We just had guests who liked The Elms so much they stayed on for another three days.”
