A fabulous golf holiday in your own backyard
N
ew Zealand is blessed with so many great golf courses and yet New Zealand golfers often neglect their own country when considering a golfing holiday. Before heading overseas for your next trip why not first look at what New Zealand has to offer. Golf Vacations New Zealand has a South Island golf tour starting in March 2014 in Christchurch and finishing in Queenstown. You stay and play at three of Australasia’s top golf resorts, tour across New Zealand’s South Island through spectacular scenery, taking in the beautiful autumn colours, and have entry into the Mount Michael Central Otago Autumn Golf Classic tournament (playing at Alexandra, Arrowtown, Cromwell, Queenstown and Wanaka golf clubs). For escorted tours they specialise in small groups (up to 16 people), providing their clients with a personalised service and aim to ensure their clients have a great experience. Colin and Renee Wells of Golf Vacations New Zealand have recently opened Okura River Lodge, an Auckland bed and breakfast. They offer packages with the visiting golfer in mind which can, if required, include golf club hire. Okura River Lodge is a boutique Auckland
bed and breakfast located on Auckland’s North Shore. Set on two and a half acres of landscaped grounds, with sea and rural views, close to Long Bay Regional Park and Marine Reserve, this peaceful semi-rural setting provides a great place to stay and relax. Come and enjoy this lovely part of Auckland which is only a short drive from the small seaside towns of Browns Bay and Torbay, and the Albany shopping centre, and only a 20-minute drive from downtown Auckland. For independent travellers, Golf Vacations New Zealand can plan and organise your New Zealand golf holiday making it a hassle-free experience, taking care of all your bookings, including accommodation, tee reservations, rental vehicle hire and other activities you may wish to include. They prepare a unique proposal tailored to your requirements and you pay no more than if you were booking direct, with the added bonus of local knowledge, a pre-programmed GPS, meet and greet on arrival and detailed information folder to make the most of your holiday.
