Day 2:   Christchurch - Golf at Clearwater
Today enjoy a round of golf at Clearwater.  This 18 hole, par 72 championship course layout is already turning heads in the golfing world.  Designed by John Darby in consultation with New Zealand golfing legend, Sir Bob Charles, the course combines elements of links golf inspired by the great Scottish courses with parkland golf, more reminiscent of Florida.  Playable year-round and measuring 6526 metres/7137 yards off the black tees, the course at Clearwater is aptly named.  Its fifteen hectares of lakes are fed by an abundance of natural springs and crystal clear streams, teeming with trout.  Water comes into play on fourteen holes and if the lakes don’t catch errant balls, then the acres of tussocks and marram grasses will.  And with five sets of tees, this course offers a game to suit players of all abilities.  Electric cart hire is included.

Day 3:   Christchurch - Discover North Canterbury Vineyards 
Today enjoy a privately guided tour the Waipara Valley, Canterbury's premier wine growing region, which is approximately 45 minutes north of Christchurch.  Explore some boutique vineyards such as Waipara Springs, Torlesse, Canterbury House and Pegasus Bay, all producing a fine selection of both white and red wines.  A winery platter lunch is included. 

Day 4:   Christchurch - Day at Leisure
Today is at leisure for optional sightseeing and to explore what Christchurch has to offer.  Perhaps visit the Anglican Cathedral, Town Hall, the Arts Centre or perhaps take a tram ride around Christchurch City or enjoy punting on the Avon River.  Alternatively, take a cruise or enjoy hot air ballooning.
