Wake up slowly and enjoy the morning before you head to “The Kinloch” (the only Jack Nicholas Signature course in the Southern hemisphere) ranked #4 in New Zealand. This course is over volcanic terrain and is like an inland links course that is complex yet satisfying to play on. For your last night in Taupo we recommend you go to the lakefront and enjoy hitting golf balls for a shot at Hole in One on a floating green and who knows you might be lucky and even win the grand prize. Later meander over to a pub or bar and restaurant and maybe you fancy a Thai meal tonight. Its time to make your way to Rotorua and visit the famed Te Puia and enjoy a Maori cultural performance and then make your way to Agrodome to see the world famous sheep show. As an option we recommend that you stop over at Wai‐O‐Tapu, the geothermal wonderland, and walk amidst this primordial landscape as you marvel the living earth breathing, smoldering and constantly evolving beneath your feet. Finally make your way to Auckland for your last might in the North Island. Today you will head out to Auckland domestic airport for your flight to Queenstown, considered the adventure capital of the world. After your bags are checked in at your hotel and as the day is still young head out to the town center for some lunch and then go to Bob’s Peak by the Gondola to and do a couple of luge rides for fun. Head to Arrowtown to play your first round at Millbrook – ranked #3 in South Island and #9 in New Zealand. A resort like golf course offering you amazing views of Remarkables mountain range and the Coronet Peak and fleeting views of Arrowtown Later in the evening choose from the wide‐ranging choice of recommended restaurants already provided to you or let your concierge at the hotel recommend the selection for your dinner and drinks. Make your way to Milford Sound down past Lake Wakatipu via Kingston. The drive to and back from Milford Sound in itself is a visual treat of its own. In addition the hour and half cruise on the sound will leave you in awe of the majestic beauty of this most renowned sound. Once back in Queenstown you can either hit the Minus 5 Ice Bar for some fun before dinner or retire early just for a change of pace. This morning you will go to the fantastic and fabulous Jack’s Point for yourfourth round of golf.
Located on the elbow of Lake Wakatipu and the foothills of Remarkables mountain range, Jack’s Point is ranked #1South Island and #5 in New Zealand. A truly stunning course that will leave you wanting to come back again, to relive your XperieNZ. Everyone needs a shot of adrenalin and this afternoon you will get your dose of it, in what is quintessentially New Zealand, the Shotover Jet. A 25‐minute of adrenalin fueled and world’s most thrilling jet boat ride you will ever experience. Just as you promised yourself to play the Jack’s Point again, you will head back to it sometime in the day today at your leisure (as you will have opted for a late tee time – unless you have other things you want to do like Bungy or Tandem Skydive or go on that Wine Tour) Time to bid adieu to this beautiful land with a promise of coming back for more. After a fantastic, enjoyable and fun filled holiday with golf and some quintessential New Zealand experiences, you will make your reluctant way to the Airport for your flight to Auckland to catch the flight back home.
