The morning begins on a quiet country road, Auckland shrinking behind you as coastal pines and rolling kikuyu fairways appear. A private vehicle delivers you to South Head Golf Club where wind and wide Kaipara Harbour views set the tempo: measured, open, and restorative. Play a round across sand-based turf that drains well and stays playable when other courses close.

The morning begins on a quiet country road, Auckland shrinking behind you as coastal pines and rolling kikuyu fairways appear. A private vehicle delivers you to South Head Golf Club where wind and wide Kaipara Harbour views set the tempo: measured, open, and restorative. Play a round across sand-based turf that drains well and stays playable when other courses close.
Midday moves to Waimauku’s Westbrook Winery, where a garden tasting introduces hand-crafted Chardonnays and Rieslings. The tasting room sits on park-like grounds; conversation here often turns to soil types, small-lot practices and the influence of nearby maritime air on the vines.
By late afternoon the trip trades sport for soak at Palm Springs in Parakai — natural mineral pools whose warmth eases tired hips and loosens shoulders after a day on the course. The geothermal water is a local draw, used historically by settlers and Te Ao Māori for its restorative properties.
Practicalities: this is a full-day private tour (roughly 9–10 hours) with hotel pickup in Auckland. Expect easy walking at each stop, some standing during tastings, and short transfers between locations. Bring swimwear and a change of clothes, sun protection for golf, and soft-soled shoes if you plan to walk the winery grounds. If you’re new to golf, club hire and carts are available at South Head. Leave space in your day for a relaxed pace — the point is gentle indulgence framed by coastal scenery and geothermal warmth.
