Australia

Special golf and fly fishing opportunities exist in the Southern Hemisphere outside of New Zealand, and our team is happy to help arrange both for clients who prefer to combine a trip to Australia with New Zealand.

Our suggestion, in visiting multiple international destinations, is to pay strict attention to the amount of time needed within each country. Movement throughout the world is often not as fluid as within the United States. As part of our service, we help organize and sort these details in order to provide the most efficient use of your time.

The result is a smooth and worry-free golfing vacation.

Customer reviews

Highlights Of The Trip: Getting off the plane in Queenstown – overwhelmed with the beauty. The boat ride in Queenstown to experience the expansiveness.

The drive from Queenstown to Franz Joseph - the mountains and glacier lakes that went on forever. Our lunch spot that day at a campsite on a lake. Abel Tasman: this is where I want to return and spend a week to hike the entire trail. Spent the day biking in Napier to wineries.

—Mary Jean S., Chapel Hill, NC

It was a trip of a lifetime with truly unique beauty not found anywhere else. A New Zealand trip requires a specialist who knows the lay of the land the unique challenges of traveling and sight-seeing there.

The country looks a lot smaller than it really is, and travel times are longer than one can assume.

The route chosen by Cristina helped us maximize our time there. I’m usually a do it yourself traveler, but for this trip I’m sure glad I had Cristina at Best of New Zealand.
