Spectacular New Zealand
Spectacular New Zealand Departing Melbourne on Friday 13, 2015, we fly into Auckland and then connect to Keri Keri. The golfing adventure will start with a bang at spectacular Kauri Cliffs. The adrenaline junkies can squeeze a jet boat trip out to "the hole in the rock” in the Bay of Islands if scheduling and weather allow. Next we fly into Taupo where we are greeted by a traditional Maori ‘haka’ before golf at Wairakei International and Kinloch, considered to be one of New Zealand's best courses. Then we travel in a luxury coach south to Napier for lunch and winery tour at The Craggy Range winery.
Craggy Range Winery
Gather your strength because the next day we are facing the elements at the always challenging Cape Kidnappers - rated one of the top courses in the world. We leave Napier and fly into wonderful, wonderful Queenstown where we will play three very scenic courses in Millbrook, Jack's Point and The Hills. Perhaps we will dare to take a jet boat ride as well.
