Stunning beauty
21 - 27 March - TOUR FULL
Our first Getaway to the ‘Winterless North’ was a great success; this time around, enjoy this part of the world in the Autumn! Why not join us and venture to the Bay of Islands, known for its stunning beauty and historical importance.
A paradise for lovers of beach and water activities, it is also the historic site where two peoples became one under the Treaty of Waitangi, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, starting the journey of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Mix in some golf on the impressive and picturesque courses in the North, and the Bay of Islands becomes the perfect getaway.

General Tour Information
- All standards of golf are catered for, but players should have an official NZGA handicap, or Australian equivalent.
- Players are to provide their own golf clubs. It is most important that all golf gear (including shoes) must be thoroughly cleaned prior to leaving both New Zealand & Australia as it is highly likely that they will be inspected by both Australian and New Zealand Customs/Biosecurity. Dirty clubs or shoes may incur heavy penalties.
- Motorised carts will be supplied where specified, with pull buggies provided at the rest (those players requiring motorised carts on all courses should indicate on the booking form). Upgrades from pull buggies to motorised carts will incur additional charges on each course.
- If you wish to book your own airfare, you will be charged for a land only price. If your flight times do not coincide with other travellers in the tour, you will be required to make your own way to the accommodation at the start of the tour and to the airport at the end of the tour.
- Our tours are contingent on sufficient numbers participating on the tour. If the tour does not go ahead due to lack of numbers, a full refund of your deposit will be made.
- Bookings are required at least 60 days prior to departure. Late bookings will be considered, but may be subject to surcharge costs.
