What Is...Treetops Lodge In New Zealand?

Where: 351 Kearoa Road, Rotorua, New Zealand

T&L talks to Jepordy's Alex Trebek about his latest vacation--a jaunt to New Zealand's Treetops Lodge.

My wife and I went to New Zealand and stayed at Treetops Lodge, just outside of Rotorua, in this fantastic wooded never-never land. The great thing about New Zealand is that you're so far from home that you're nearly out of touch. Our daughter called from California to say there was a leak in our hallway. I told her, "We're seven thousand miles away. Put a pan under it!"

Treetops is a secluded luxury retreat located in the trout capital of the world. Set on 2,500 acres of game reserve including 800-year-old forests, hiking, horseback and mountain bike riding are common lodge side activities. We are wondering if the Kiwi's made Trebek host a mock Jepordy tourney while he was in town...probably not.
