It seems the currently homeless New Zealand Open has still not found a definite residence for 2011. The event has been staged at the fantastic Hills course just outside Queenstown since 2007, but looks unlikely to be held there again in 2011. Recently the favourite to hold the event has been Clearwater in Christchurch which is also a great course but not in such a beautiful setting. We will await the final decision with interest and hope the event will actually go ahead.

Huka Lodge, New Zealand
I have previously blogged on how great Huka Lodge is, so I was delighted to see this great article on the Conde Nast Travel website – click here to view. Under recommended hotel and “Super Lodges” I can confirm that both Huka Lodge & Cape Kidnappers are indeed super lodges and a definite must visit while in New Zealand; the service and accommodation are second to none! The pictures just confirm how great these properties are…the best way to spend time and relax during your golf vacation.

With Christchurch being a popular destination for our clients visiting New Zealand, we were very concerned about the earthquake there this weekend. Click here for the latest news.
After being in touch with our staff in New Zealand it was good to know there have been no fatalities and the damage to most of the hotels we use has been cosmetic. The courses also seem to have been largely unaffected. It will take a while for things to be back to normal… but it could have been so much worse.

Having spent some time in Queenstown, New Zealand at the end of 2008, I was interested to read that Hilton seem to be planning a new hotel there.
I enjoyed my time there very much; from the wonderful scenery (where much of Lord of the Rings was filmed), to the great golf courses including the new Hills and Jack’s Point Courses…it is also the birth place of adrenaline sports like bungee jumping and jet boating. However, if you prefer something more laid back, it is the perfect base to visit Milford Sound or some of the excellent vineyards…I certainly recommend the Pinot Noir.

Denise at Huka Falls
New Zealand is a beautiful country with so many unique and breathtaking sights. One of my most memorable experiences there was when I visited Huka Falls in Wairakei Park; the largest falls on the Waikato River (New Zealand’s longest river) near Taupo on New Zealand’s North Island. Huka Falls is only a short 5-minute drive north of Lake Taupo.
