Luxury golf in NZ

THE KINLOCH CLUB, #NewZealand’s newest luxury accommodation in a premium golfing destination, has opened on the shores of #Lake Taupo on North Island. 

It has a collection of one bedroom suites and two-bedroom villas, which are alongside the Jack Nicklaus signature #golf course overlooking Lake Taupo – New Zealand’s largest lake and the central geographic feature of this active volcanic region.

The spa specializes in therapeutic sports massage and organic wellness treatments. It has tennis courts, an infinity pool (opening late summer 2016) and a state-of-the-art gym.

Lake Taupo is a mecca for water sports, boating and fishing, mountain biking, and lies within easy reach of winter skiing in Tongariro National Park. 

There is seasonal fly fishing in some of the world’s best trout streams and wild game hunting. The nearby Treetops Estate offers signature eco wilderness experiences, and easy access to the thermal wonders and Maori culture of Rotorua.
