Katalyma Hotels & Hospitality announced today the launch of Golf Concierge services and exclusive “Stay and Play” golf packages at the award winning Whangaparaoa Lodge in Auckland and Kerikeri Park Lodge in Northland providing attractively priced packages to satisfy not just the high end golf customer but also the everyday golfer the opportunity to play some of New Zealand’s best golf courses.

“We are excited to be able to work with and provide outstanding golf experiences with the likes of Gulf Harbour, Wainui and Kauri Cliff’s courses, and also specializing in the local gems that are in our areas. Our guests want a range of golf options which we have sourced and able to provide for them” said Katalyma Director Troy Clarry.

Clarry continued, “Many of our guests simply find it difficult to plan and book golf and accommodation from overseas, so we now provide a ‘golf concierge’ service for our guests. We are extremely proud of the relationships with our local courses hoping we can pass these benefits on to the visiting golfer.”

Blessed with a beach-side location, a thriving dining scene and a multitude of activities ranging from golf to hiking and bird watching, Whangaparaoa Lodge is surrounded by three courses within a 30 minute drive (and 10 within 60 minutes). Gulf Harbour Country Club Director of Golf Frazer Bond, said “Great to work with the award winning Whangaparaoa lodge for our players to stay at while playing with us”.

Kerikeri Park Lodge is located in the heart of Kerikeri, beautifully situated in 2.5 hectares of park-like grounds, walking distance to the Old Packhouse market and Makana chocolate factory. Kauri Cliff’s a phenomenal course and a highlight of lifetime, and the historical Waitangi golf course is unique for the location.
