New Zealand News

Magnificent scenery, high quality facilities, low green fees and almost 400 courses make New Zealand an ideal destination for a golfing holiday. September’s issue of the US publication "Golf Magazine" includes it’s biennial opinion of the world’s top 100 courses which ranks two New Zealand designs, Kauri Cliffs in Northland, and Hawke’s Bay’s Cape Kidnappers at 27 and 58 respectively.

New Zealanders tend to rate Wairakei, in the central North island close to Taupo and Rotorua, very highly and others of note include Millbrook near Queenstown, Clearwater at Christchurch and Paraparaumu, North of Wellington. There are many lesser known courses though with great scenery and low green fees which visiting golfers will find themselves made welcome. Fees for non affiliated members on these courses are generally around NZ$40 for 18 holes with cart, trundler and club hires also available.

GINZ can provide a handbook guide for golfers visiting New Zealand and wanting 'local knowledge' on some of the best of the many courses throughout the country. GINZ has a 3 week suggested golfing itinerary available to assist you with starting a golfing holiday plan.

If you want to have a closer look at some of the courses worth a visit, here are a few website links. Kauri Cliffs / Northland, Terrace Downs / Canterbury, Arrowtown Golf Club, Wanaka Golf Club.

Australia News

Dunk Island is considered to be one of the most beautiful of the Queensland resort islands, known to the first inhabitants as 'Coonanglebah' - the Island of Peace and Plenty. With an enormous variety of activities to choose from, it's hard deciding what to do next. You could start the day with a rainforest walk and take in the spectacular views from the summit of Mt Kootaloo. After breakfast, explore one of the National Park walking trails through the rainforest and later perhaps a snorkel at Muggy Muggy Beach. During lunch you can plan the afternoon ahead. Perhaps some water skiing followed by a game of tennis. Complimentary activities include tennis, snorkelling, gym and fitness centre, squash courts, catamarans, sail boards, children's playground and nightly entertainment. Other activities include fishing charters, horse riding treks, mountain bikes, diving and snorkelling on the reef, spa treatments and an 18 hole golf course.

The resort has 160 rooms available on the Island. Top of the range are the Bayview suites. Situated beachside the rooms offer virtually uninterrupted views over Brammo Bay with direct access to the beach. Set in small groups of four units (two units upstairs, two downstairs), Bayview Suites are bright and spacious with a king bed and a luxurious bathroom with a twin vanity. The interior is split-level with the upper level featuring the sleeping area and a comfortable living area on the lower level. Rooms have a relaxed coastal feel with double glass doors leading onto a large balcony. Additional in-room amenities include CD Player, bathrobes and fully stocked mini bar. Interconnecting rooms are available.

Dunk Island is a 45 minute flight from Cairns airport. Contact GINZ for more information and a quote for your holiday on Dunk Island.
