This private luxury golf tour of New Zealand features spectacular landscapes, super-luxury lodges, renowned golf courses in stunning locations, and private cultural and wine touring on the North and South islands.
Begin at Rosewood Kauri Cliffs, a luxury lodge with a golf course on thousands of acres of rugged coastline overlooking the beautiful Bay of Islands. Enjoy a round of golf at Kauri Cliffs, one of New Zealand’s legendary golf courses, playing fairways that stretch along the tops of vertiginous sea cliffs and greens with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. One day, enjoy a full-day private excursion to Hokianga Harbour and the Waipoua Forest to see awe-inspiring Tane Mahuta, one of the oldest and largest native kauri trees in New Zealand. During leisure time, enjoy options such as a picnic on a private beach, fishing, horseback riding, a private boat charter or a walk to a hidden waterfall.
Next, fly to Hawke's Bay, a beautiful region of vineyards, orchards, rolling hills and golden beaches. Stay at Rosewood Cape Kidnappers, an exclusive lodge with a golf course on a vast ranch atop cliffs high above the ocean. One morning, enjoy a round of golf at the Tom Doak-designed Cape Kidnappers course, where fairways skirt the edges of cliffs and breathtaking views await at every hole. During private touring of the Hawke’s Bay region with your expert local guide, visit top local wineries and artisanal food shops, learn about Maori culture during a visit to a marae (Maori meeting ground), and tour Napier, a charming seaside town filled with Art Deco architecture. Also visit a kiwi sanctuary in search of New Zealand's famous flightless birds and take a tour of the Cape Kidnappers sheep and cattle ranch. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional activities such as biking through the vineyards, visiting a colony of gannet seabirds, heli-fishing, mountain biking and spa treatments.
Next, fly to the South Island and Queenstown, a lakeside resort town that's the gateway to some of the most dramatic landscapes and memorable golf courses in New Zealand. Stay at Rosewood Matakauri, a luxury lodge with outstanding views of Lake Wakatipu and the majestic Southern Alps. Enjoy tee times at Jack’s Point, a championship course that incorporates the natural landscape and celebrates views of the lake and mountains, and courses in nearby Arrowtown, such as The Hills Golf Club or Millbrook Resort.
One day, take a spectacular private helicopter flight over the Southern Alps to Milford Sound, one of New Zealand's most iconic sights, and land on a glacier high in the mountains. Another day, take a thrilling Dart River jet boat safari into the magnificent landscapes of Mount Aspiring National Park. One afternoon, enjoy wine touring and tasting in Gibbston and Bannockburn, scenic wine-producing areas of the renowned Central Otago wine region. Also enjoy private touring of the historic gold mining village of Arrowtown.
Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional activities in the region such as horseback riding, bungy (bungee) jumping, visiting filming locations used in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies, hiking in the backcountry, visiting a sheep station and fly fishing on local streams.
