OUTDOOR FUN FOR THE FAMILY IN WAIRAKEI TOURIST PARK
The resort has its own 9-hole golf course, and there are 5 more nearby, including Kinloch Golf Club’s Jack Nicklaus-designed course. You can rent out mountain bikes to test yourself on the resort’s own track or take to the public routes nearby. The resort even has its own tennis and squash courts. Lake Taupō offers boating and jet-skiing, and spring and winter skiing on local slopes is only a short drive away.
If a game of tennis sounds too energetic and a ride on the Huka Jet too adventurous, book time at the hotel’s Body Firm Spa for a relaxing way to spend a few hours. Whether you need a remedial body massage to restore your natural balance, a wrap to tone your body or a facial to nourish and rejuvenate tired skin, the Body Firm Spa offers a wide range treatment. We advise booking sessions in advance as the spa is extremely popular with guests.
