ACTIVITIES:


Hiking & Walking Vacations

From heli-hiking in the high country to a passive stroll on a pink sand beach, the luxury lodges offer incomparable hiking experiences for all levels, guided and unguided in pristine environments on private estates or in New Zealands famous National Parks nearby. Your lodge hosts will pack a delicious picnic, organise transportation and equipment for half day walks to overnight glamping and luxe hut experiences.



Golf Vacations

New Zealand and golf have a long history. Scottish immigrants introduced the game in the South Island in the 19th century and their links-style courses still thrive today. British Open champion Sir Bob Charles and more recently Michael Campbell’s win at the US Open in 2005 put New Zealand firmly in the modern golf spotlight. And golfing greats, the likes of Nick Faldo, Arnold Palmer and Greg Norman have trodden the fairways of New Zealand and praised their beauty and quality. A number of the Lodges of New Zealand have either their own world class course set in outstanding locations or are close to some of New Zealand’s premier courses and golf resorts – including two in the Golf Digest World Top 50 rankings. The Lodges can arrange everything for you – from tee times to your favourite post game cocktail – to ensure a quality experience. All you have to worry about is the quality of your swing.



Fishing

Whether it is the world’s finest wild brown trout that lures you to New Zealand, or maybe it’s the famous Taupo rainbows, the salmon or big game, superb fly fishing or light tackle spinning the spectacular environment will exhilarate you, the new techniques required will challenge you and the rewards can be fabulous. There is great trout fishing year round in New Zealand’s outstanding rivers and lakes. Summer river fly fishing October-May is available throughout the country and advance reservations for guides are advisable. In winter, you’ll find the world’s best fresh water rainbow trout runs in the central North Island. Boat fishing is available throughout the year in Rotorua, Taupo and some South Island lakes. Our lodges have a wealth of experience in planning walk out / drive out and heli fishing day trips with their own qualified professional fishing guides.



Skiing

Heliskiing takes you into the mountains away form the ski resorts where fresh tracks are followed by a gourmet picnic lunch. A full range of winter sports is on offer including glacier hikes, cross country skiing, ice skating, snow mobiles and snow shoe hiking. New Zealand ski resorts are located in and around Wanaka, Queenstown and Christchurch in South Island and near Lake Taupo in North Island.
