Your home for the entire 28 days — a comfortable, fully furnished One Bedroom apartment at Quest Havelock North, located right in the heart of Havelock North village. It's your own personal "winter" residence where you unpack once and truly settle in like a local. With a full kitchen and separate living area, it's designed for relaxed outdoor living in Hawke's Bay's perfect mild climate, making it easy to enjoy breakfast before golf, unwind after a round, or sip local wine in the evening.

What to Expect:

• Fully equipped kitchen so you can cook your own meals, whip up a quick breakfast before golf, or prepare picnic lunches for winery visits

• Prime central Havelock North location — just 100m from the village centre, an easy walk to cafés, restaurants, and shops, with wineries starting from 3km away and a short drive to Hawke's Bay's golf courses

• Modern comforts including a separate living and dining area, apartment-controlled reverse-cycle air conditioning, in-room entertainment TV, and complimentary unlimited WiFi

• Daily room servicing and 24-hour onsite management, so everything feels effortless and you feel completely at home

How will you move around during your stay?

A rental car is included for the full duration of your stay, giving you the freedom to explore Hawke’s Bay on your own schedule — from golf and wineries to coastal drives and nearby towns.

Standard vehicles are comfortable and well-suited for two golfers, with ample space for luggage and golf clubs, making day-to-day driving easy and stress-free on New Zealand’s scenic roads. Automatic, four door with A/C.

For those who prefer additional space, or for two couples wishing to travel together, optional upgrades to larger vehicles or small SUVs are available.

This flexible arrangement allows complete independence throughout your stay — drive as much or as little as you like, with no obligations or group schedules.

Hawke's Bay Golf Club — Your Home Club in New Zealand

• During Pars & Pours, Hawke's Bay Golf Club is your home club. You are not a guest — you are a full member, with all the privileges and access that come with belonging to a well-regarded Hawke's Bay golf community.

Built in 1969, Hawke's Bay Golf Club is an 18-hole course set on 142 acres of pumice land, with wide, tree-lined fairways of N.Z. browntop and fescue and large Pencross greens — Hawke's Bay Golf Club was among the first courses in the country to use this cultivar across all 18 holes. The course is well maintained, with a layout that's challenging yet very playable, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in from day one.

Member benefits include:

• Full golf privileges for the duration of your stay

• Unlimited play with easy access to tee times, seven days a week

• A large practice area with practice balls, plus club and cart hire available

• A clubhouse with a licensed bar and café — a favorite post-round gathering spot

The course is located at the end of Valentine Road, Bridge Pā, a 12 minute drive from Havlock North town centre, making it easy to blend daily golf with the rest of Hawke's Bay life.

This is the kind of club where friendships form quickly, routines feel natural, and golf becomes part of everyday living.

A true bucket-list highlight of your New Zealand snowbird adventure — an unforgettable 2-day trip to the legendary Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club. Widely regarded as New Zealand’s finest links course and consistently ranked among the World’s Top 100, this coastal masterpiece delivers pure strategic golf with dramatic Tasman Sea views. Located about 3.5–4 hours south of Hawke’s Bay, the two-day format includes a scenic drive, a full round of golf, and a comfortable overnight stay on the Kapiti Coast so you can enjoy the experience in a relaxed, unhurried way.

What to Expect:

• Classic true-links golf played over rolling sandy dunes right beside the ocean, with spectacular views of Kapiti Island

• Fast, firm greens, strategic bunkering, blind shots, and ever-present wind — a pure shot-maker’s course that tests every part of your game

• Comfortable overnight accommodation arranged near the course, giving you time to fully absorb the historic atmosphere

• Rich golfing heritage, having hosted a record 12 New Zealand Opens and a famous visit from Tiger Woods in 2002 when he was world number one

• Designed in 1949 by Alex Russell (who co-designed Royal Melbourne with Alister MacKenzie) — considered by many to be the greatest traditional links course in the Southern Hemisphere

This exclusive 2-day golf adventure is the perfect highlight of your trip — combining world-class golf, a mini road trip, and that unforgettable “wow” moment every golfer dreams about.

Perched dramatically on the Te Awanga coastline, Elephant Hill is one of New Zealand’s most beautiful winery estates. With sweeping views over the vineyards rolling down to the Pacific Ocean and the iconic cliffs of Cape Kidnappers in the distance, this stunning coastal setting makes your private tasting feel like a true highlight of the trip. You’ll enjoy an intimate, seated experience personally hosted by award-winning winemaker Lei Li, who turns every tasting into a memorable, educational journey rather than a standard pour.

What to Expect:

• Fully personalized & educational: Lei Li customizes the tasting to your group’s preferences and experience level. She skips the script and instead shares the real stories, unique terroir influences (especially the sea-swept “SEA” character), techniques, and passion behind each wine so you truly understand why Hawke’s Bay is one of the world’s 12 Great Wine Capitals.

• Curated selection of flagship wines: Taste elegant Chardonnays, powerful single-vineyard Syrahs, and limited-release icons (some not always available at the public cellar door) — all showcasing the winery’s blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation.

• Relaxed, scenic atmosphere: Enjoy a stylish, warm cellar door with panoramic ocean and vineyard views. The private session (typically 1–1.5 hours) often includes a short guided walk through the estate or vines, plus plenty of time for questions and conversation.

• Warm, personal touch: Lei’s engaging style makes you feel like a guest in her home — you’ll leave with new knowledge, great memories, and a much deeper appreciation for Hawke’s Bay wines.

One of the absolute highlights of your Pars & Pours snowbird escape — friendly golf matches against welcoming local Kiwi golfers right at your home course, Hawkes Bay Golf Club. These aren’t stiff competitions; they’re relaxed, social rounds designed for pure fun, camaraderie, and that classic New Zealand hospitality. After the round, everyone heads to the clubhouse for drinks, laughs, storytelling, and great vibes that often turn into new friendships you’ll keep long after the trip.

What to Expect:

• Casual, handicap-adjusted matches against Hawkes Bay Golf Club members who love meeting visiting golfers

• Fun, low-pressure format where the focus is on good golf, great conversation, and enjoying the beautiful course together

• Lively post-round time in the clubhouse with cold beers, local wines, and often a few shared plates — the perfect way to swap stories and celebrate the day

• Authentic Kiwi hospitality that makes you feel like a local member for the month.

• Multiple match opportunities throughout your 28-day stay — join in as often as you like or enjoy a relaxed casual round on your own.

We highly recommend this 3-night extension ($1,500 per person, double occupancy), which includes round-trip airfare from Napier or Auckland and a stay at a centrally located Queenstown hotel, just an easy walk to the lake, restaurants, and shops. The highlight is an unforgettable fly-cruise-fly excursion to Milford Sound, widely considered one of the most extraordinary experiences in New Zealand, featuring soaring peaks, waterfalls, and dramatic fjord scenery.

This extension can be added before or after your Pars & Pours stay, with flight routing arranged to fit seamlessly with your overall travel plans.
