A guest room of the Alan Pye Cottage at the Huka Lodge in Taupo, New Zealand

Sure, Peter Jackson brought New Zealand into the limelight with his "The Lord of the Rings" movies. But this low-key country is hardly the place you'd think to find your favorite famous faces. Think again! What better place to escape prying eyes than the peaceful, remote Huka Lodge. Bill Gates, John Cleese, Rod Stewart, Kate Winslet, Diana Ross and Michael Douglas (among many others) agree. There are just 25 rooms, including two cottages, so privacy is ensured. As for activities, Hollywood hijinks are replaced by trout fishing on Lake Taupo, helicopter flights over the Kaimanawa Ranges and leisurely dining around one of the outdoor fireplaces.
