We love reading about the travels of Andrew Harper members, and we suspect you enjoy learning about their explorations as well. With that in mind, this periodic column highlights members’ own globe-trotting. For this edition, we interviewed retired tech executive and seasoned voyager Dean Gilbert about his favorite destinations and travel tips to help make the most of a vacation.

I see you’ve been to many of our favorite properties. Is there a classic hotel or resort that you would especially suggest to others?

If you’re a golfer, I’d certainly recommend Rosewood’s Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers hotels in New Zealand. If you make the trip to the North Island, I would also highly recommend both Huka Lodge and Wharekauhau Country Estate. But expect to empty your wallet because these properties, all of which are magnificent and unique in their own ways, have largely doubled in price since we were last there.
