Special Golf and Cruise option in New Zealand

Our Southern Ocean resources recently let us know about a new and unique way
to experience New Zealand in the very Finest way.

The Hills is one of New Zealand’s most exclusive golf clubs. Located
in New Zealand’s South Island, just outside of popular Arrowtown,
The Hills’ new world class championship golf course is the venue for
the Michael Hill New Zealand Open, an event that has attracted
international players and 35,000 spectators in the past. New Zealand
Golf has announced that the New Zealand Open is to return to The
Hills Golf Club 12 - 15 March 2009.
In recent years Michael Hill also has had the stunning vessel Vvs1 built:
it has collected several
international awards; while at the The Hills, the innovative clubhouse
was awarded the supreme New Zealand architectural prize. Guests
chartering VVs1 are offered an exclusive opportunity to play on
Michael Hill’s private course whose spectacular vista stretches to the
majestic Remarkables mountain range.

The beautiful 34.18m (112′) VvS1 sleeps 8. Recently built by Alloy
Yachts in New Zealand, VvS1 offers more than 100 feet of
impeccable design and luxury. From her sleek aluminium hull, a
theme of grey, silver, wood and touches of red is carried throughout
the vessel.
On the aft deck, relax at the alfresco dining set up or the bar, wrestle
a great fish, (note the fridge/freezers and live bait tanks) and access
ample storage to go snorkeling or diving. A galley just inside has
flexible indoor-outdoor flow. Walk forward into the indoor dining
space, then a wide saloon with ample views through large windows.
At the bow, the host’s cabin has a walk in wardrobe and bath, and
there is VIP accommodation, two twin berth guest rooms, and
Captain’s quarters. All have full ensuites. The upper deck has a full
gym, a cinema, study, and another lounge, plus outdoor settee and
sunbeds, and two tenders aft for all your expeditions (A 6.5m
Rayglass Protector and 3.7m Aquapro Divemaster). The top deck has
a fantastic undercover seating area with coffee table, seating,
barbeque and a teppanyaki grill .
