Julian Robertson, owner of Cape Kidnappers and Kauri Cliffs in New Zealand has added a lodge in Queenstown on the South Island of New Zealand to his portfolio. It was purchased in August and currently in the midst of refurbishments, with a proposed re-opening in 2010. If history is anything to go by, Julian’s latest facility will be impeccable and a wonderful addition to the experience in Queenstown. The website can be viewed at http://www.matakauri.co.nz ; definitely worth keeping an eye on the progress.

How many reasons do you need to take the golf trip of two lifetimes? Here’s five:
1. Our winter is their summer. (Florida is fine but New Zealand is phenomenal.)
2. Their golf is played among some of the most dramatic and diverse landscapes on earth. (Keeping your head down is not an option.)
3. New Zealand is unique for its collection of boutique luxurious lodge-style properties. (Think Four Seasons gets back to nature.)
4. Fly fishing here is absolutely second to none. (The ladies will catch Art Deco City.)
