Travel to Acacia Bay, Taupo, Day 3

Today you will be travelling from the City of Auckland through to Taupo. You can choose to self-drive (four hours) and stop at the Waitomo Caves on the way or you may prefer to fly direct (45 minutes).

If you choose to fly direct there will be time to play golf at one of Auckland City's top courses before travelling to Taupo.

In Taupo you will be staying at the exclusive Lake Taupo Lodge sited above Acacia Bay on the north-western shores of Lake Taupo. The lodge commands panoramic views over the water to the volcanic plateau beyond. After dining on the chef's special cuisine, guests can enjoy themselves in the billiard room, music area, reading gallery or in front of a log fire in winter.

Wairakei, Day 4

Today you will be playing your second round of golf at the magical golf course at Wairakei. This challenging course, designed by Major John Harris, is located in an unusual geothermal area. With trees in the middle of the fairways, the ball must be lofted high to plateau greens, which are usually protected by bunkers. Steam rising from underground adds to the mystique of this course.

After a morning on the golf course there will be an opportunity to enjoy one of the many leisure activities that Taupo has to offer. You may choose to be pampered with a massage, relax in the spa pool or try your hand at rainbow trout fishing in the lake and rivers. In New Zealand we measure trout in kilograms not inches!

This evening you will enjoy the excellent cuisine of the Lodge chef.
