There is no better view in golf than the stunning vistas at Te Arai Links ⛳️

We are incredibly fortunate to have one of the world’s best golf resorts right on our doorstep. With two world-class links courses, exceptional restaurants, a luxury spa, and beautiful onsite accommodation, it is a true bucket-list destination.

Exciting times ahead as Te Arai Links prepares to host the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship in just a couple of weeks! 🏆 The tournament will be televised globally, showcasing the world’s best amateur talent taking on the spectacular South Course.

Both the North and South courses are in pristine condition right now. Because they are sand-based, they offer incredible, firm-and-fast playing conditions all year round.

If you’re an avid golfer traveling to the region, we also highly recommend checking out the fantastic local hidden gems nearby: Mangawhai Golf Club, Waipu Golf Club and Omaha Beach Golf Club - All three are rated in New Zealand’s Top 30 and offer their own unique coastal golf experience! 🇳🇿

There’s something special about surfing in New Zealand 🌊🇳🇿 — raw coastlines, uncrowded waves, and a deep connection to nature that makes every session unforgettable.

At Te Arai Lodge, surfing is one of the experiences we love sharing most with our guests 🤍 From beach breaks, to long breaking points and empty lineups, Te Arai has quietly become one of New Zealand’s most incredible surf destinations 🏄‍♂️🌅 This beautiful Sirpa artwork perfectly captures that feeling of heading out with anticipation for what’s beyond.

We’ve also spent the last two weeks down in Raglan watching the WSL event, and it’s been incredible to witness the world’s best surfers competing here in New Zealand 🙌🔥 The level of talent, atmosphere, and energy has been so entertaining and inspiring to watch — and a reminder of just how special our surf culture and coastline really are 🌊✨

Already counting down to next year’s event and our next swell in Te Arai 🤙🏽🏄‍♀️

A few weeks back, we hosted a Te Arai gravel cycling weekend for 20 riders — and what a weekend it was 🚴‍♂️🌿

The gravel riding around Te Arai is exceptional, and it is one of the best ways to explore the region. Over the weekend, riders took on a mix of local gravel roads, including a bigger 100km loop through Pakiri to Matakana and back 🛤️🔥

Of course, it wasn’t just about the riding. It was also the perfect excuse to get on the bike, explore the incredible food, coffee and scenery of the region, and enjoy plenty of good banter along the way ☕🍽️🌊

Fantastic riding, great food, strong coffee, and a brilliant crew — hard to ask for much more 🙌

For those who haven’t heard, there’s also a new cycle path in the works: the Coastal Trail, running from Puhoi to Mangawhai via Te Arai. Once complete, it’s going to be an amazing asset for our region and a huge boost for cycling and local tourism 🚲🌏

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the weekend — we’re already looking forward to the next one 👏
