Hi Steve,
This is the second time we have dealt with yourself and Golf and Leisure Getaways, this one being an amazing two week trip to New Zealand. Both islands!
What a fantastic amazing trip we had, everything went without a single hitch! Accommodation perfect, choices of golf courses, amazing! Car hire, great seats on flights and great tourist recommendations for our days off playing golf! And somehow arrange the most perfect weather too!
I cannot recommend Steve and his company high enough. We have passed your details on too many friends and quite a few people we met on this trip to NZ!

We will definitely be back!!

What a great trip! Highly recommended for golfers and sightseers alike. Both Cape Wickham and Ocean Dunes are incredible examples of golfing architecture and are Bucket List destinations for golfers.
Whilst the weather was challenging , the courses are designed for the conditions and were very playable. The trip organisation was clockwork every day, and the locals who operated the courses, transfers, accommodation, cafes and restaurants were all just incredibly friendly.

Everyone had a great time on the brewery tour and both restaurants were fantastic. As I said on the phone, Hotel Sorrento gave us a private room, which meant we weren’t bothering other guests.
The food at the Baths restaurant was brilliant.

Hi Steve
Once again Golf & Leisure Getaways have proved to be a most professional company when putting together yet another golfing trip for my group. The complete itinerary including hotels, golf courses, transportation and tour guides you provided was perfect.
The restaurants you recommended, Cau Go in Hanoi and Golden Nut in Hoi An, were both excellent with their quality and service. Also thanks for arranging our bus trip on our last day from Than Golf Club to be delayed, as this allowed us some quality time to enjoy our farewell lunch before heading to the airport and back to Oz.
Most important as a travelling group, we all agreed that everything we experienced in Vietnam was above our expectations and will definitely be looking at this trip again in the near future.

Hi Steve,
On behalf of our group, we once again thank you for organising our trip which went very smoothly. We played some very good courses, with Toscana Valley the pick of them and probably one of, if not, the best course we have played in Thailand. Our driver Unn looked after us brilliantly, as did all golf club staff.
Would recommend playing golf in Khao Yai area to everyone as the golf courses are equal to any of the other popular golfing destinations in Thailand and the weather is a little cooler up in the mountains.
Thanks

Hi Steve,
I know I can speak for all our group and resoundingly say that a great time was had by one and all.
The van transfers were great.. their drivers were always there on time ready to pick us up and deliver us safely to our destinations and their staff assisted brilliantly when requested.
The Avani hotel was fabulous, a real oasis in the heart of Pattaya. The upgrade to Garden View plus was a real highlight!
Siam Old and Laem Chabang were both spectacular, and Chee Chan was a great experience,
So I’d like to extend a hearty thank you for the arrangements you made for us.

Thanks again Steve, the South Australia trip went to clockwork. Royal Adelaide and Kooyonga were in brilliant condition and Links Lady Bay lived up to a true links course…light rain and windy. Great experience! Tununda was enjoyed and followed up with some great wine….”when in Rome…” The accommodation you chose suited us well, as we ate out each night and enjoyed a great night at Chinatown. Another Fabulous golfing week away – thank you!

Hi Steve
I just want to say what a great trip we had to the North Island of New Zealand playing golf at Wairakei and Kinloch at Taupo, Cape Kidnappers at Napier and Royal Wellington and Paraparaumu at Wellington. The whole trip went off without a hitch and you even managed to organise perfect weather!
It really was a trip of a lifetime for a lot of the group.
In particular thank you for all of the work you did in making this all happen so seamlessly and being available when we were on tour to answer a couple of questions and assisting when the luggage from one of the group went temporarily missing. Your organisational skills and easy to deal with manner is why we will continue to be repeat customers.

Arrived back a couple of days ago and just want to say thanks for organising the trip, we had a great time. Vietnam is certainly a great experience. We felt a bit apprehensive before going but we had nothing to worry about. Everything worked well with the transport and hotels. Our original concerns about the internal flights were not justified as it all went very well. The transfers to the golf courses were always on time and very helpful
The golf was really good with Laguna and The Bluffs our favourite courses and we can say that the caddies at all the courses were top class. It’s going to be lonely playing back home without them.
We will recommend your services to any of our friends are considering an Asian trip.
Best wishes

Chiang Mai & Bangkok – Thailand
Hi Steve,
Everything went like clockwork… we had a fantastic time in Chiang Mai and Bangkok. Your drivers were friendly and on time every day – great coordination!
The Anantara was just superb and could not fault in any way. In- house dining was first class & plenty of other options all in walking distance….we would stay there again. The golf courses were all enjoyable, but the Alpine club was a standout followed by Highlands…I’ve played some great golf courses in the world and they are both up there!
The Marriott in Bangkok was also fantastic with a high level of service. The Nikanti Golf Course was a gem…the layout, the condition and the clubhouse were fantastic – I would recommend this to everyone.
We had a very memorable trip and I must say you did a great job putting it all together…I will recommend your service to all my golfing friends.
Cheers

We engaged Golf & Leisure Getaways to manage our Millbrook New Zealand golf event in April 2017. From the start to the end they were a pleasure to work with. We found Steve very professional, the communication was impeccable, and all aspects of the event ran like clockwork, combined with Steve escorting the group of 22 and ensuring that everyone was looked after & having a wonderful time.
We would highly recommend Golf & Leisure Getaways & we have already rebooked for 2018!

Dear Steve, just a quick note to thank you for putting together a trip of a lifetime. The courses, as you know, are spectacular. Apart from the actual golf, we would like to sincerely thank you for the outstanding service provided around the actual golf games. The Vortex flights were exciting, professional, and a joy to be on. The travel connections on both King Island and in Tassie were impeccable. Also your dining recommendations were perfect. Thanks again and we will talk to you re our next trip soon.
Kind Regards,
Chris, Rob, John and Allan.

Thank you for an absolutely wonderful golf tour to Thailand last month. We can’t speak highly enough about it. All the golf courses were unbelievable, the accommodation excellent and the tour arrangements throughout impeccable.
Congratulations for such a wonderful holiday and golfing experience.
We look forward to booking our next golfing holiday with you.
Hi Steve
Just a brief note to thank you for a great weekend to Barnbougle Dunes. Myself and the boys had a wonderful time. Everything went to the exact plan we discussed and the golf courses were unbelievable…and how good is the sports bar!

I’m pleased to say the trip was a huge success and everything went like clockwork. We never had to wait for our drivers, accommodation was great and to top it off we had unreal weather.
The food was amazing and the dinner at ‘Wild Harvest’ will be remembered for a long time.
Lastly, what fantastic courses to play. Lot’s of bucket lists ticked. A great way to celebrate my 50th birthday.
Thanks again for putting this together. I’ll spread the word locally.

Hi Steve,
Our Golf group would like to thank Golf & Leisure Getaways for organising our golf trip this year. Accommodation in the heart of Broadbeach was fantastic, close to restaurants and the casino. Golf courses were of great quality and the group immensely enjoyed their time on the Gold Coast. From our initial enquiry to just before our trip, communication was excellent with quick responses considering the numerous changes. Group pricing was very competitive compared to other providers.
We highly recommend other groups to book through Golf & Leisure Getaways and would definitely book again.
Cheers

We have just returned home from 10 days in Thailand. All aspects of the trip were so well organised. Drivers were always on time, provided us cold water and could not do enough for us accommodating ad hoc requests as we made them.
The golf was brilliant. The process to play was seamless. The accommodation in both Bangkok and Hua Hin was excellent with great facilities. Having all the organisation done for us meant all we had to do was turn up and play golf!
We would highly recommend Golf and Leisure Getaways for any golf trip being planned and we will definitely be using them again in the future.
October 2023 – Vietnam
Steve, we had a great trip and I cannot recommend you enough!

Hi Steve,
Thanks again for arranging another fantastic golfing getaway.
As always everything went seamlessly to plan.
Hill was there to greet us when we arrived in Danang and showed us the sights of Hoi An and took us on all our golfing destinations.
The Allegro Hotel was fabulous, Natalie and all her staff looked after us as if we were Royalty.
It would have to be the best place to stay in Hoi An bar none!!!
HCMC was crazy as expected – the Vespa tour a real highlight.
The golf at Long Thanh a fitting conclusion to our Vietnam getaway.
Thanks again till our next adventure.

On behalf of the boys, we would like to say thank you for organising our Port Stephens golf trip.
Golf and Leisure Getaways made the trip an absolute breeze. Everything was pre booked and taken care of well before arrival.
Steve made sure we were in the loop about all activities and had a very well set out itinerary.
Just to add to the trip moral, we mentioned about getting some golf shirts with logos on them and without any hesitation Steve had them made and ready before we departed!
I couldn’t highly recommend Golf and Leisure Getaways!
Thanks again Steve and cannot wait until the next trip!

Hi Steve,
The trip was amazing – everything went so well and the arrangements you put in place were fantastic. The accommodation was exactly right… plenty of space and very comfortable. The location was really good for access to beach, shops and golf courses. Everyone was very happy indeed. Our driver, Paul, was fantastic!! Being a local really helped with recommendations and general information. He was punctual, polite, friendly, accommodating and very helpful at the golf courses, getting us sorted and checking in with the pro shops on our arrival etc. He even gave us his own spin on how to play the courses, what to avoid, greens tips etc.
So it was a BIG TICK from us all, and one of the best trips we’ve ever had. Thanks again for all your work in putting it together.
We are already in talks about our 2024 trip.
Thanks again, and chat again soon.

The trip was fantastic, everyone had a ball!
A group of 11 went to King island to play golf, the trip was organised by Steve from Golf & Leisure Getaways. Everything was organised from flights, transfers, accommodation and golf, all of which was perfect.
It was clearly obvious that Steve knows what he is doing in in the Golf Tourism industry as all the recommendations that he made were spot on. I must also mention John from the King Island Hotel for the hospitality he showed and the golf professionals at Ocean Dunes and Cape Wickham for the way they welcomed us onto their courses. Our bus driver Jacko who met our every need and even gave us a tour of the island.
It was the best golf trip all of us have ever been on. We all could not recommend Golf & Leisure Getaways high enough and they will be ours and should be your go to, when you want to go on a golf trip.

Steve organised a three day golf trip to King Island for myself and three mates.
He was very helpful in helping us to think through the scoping of the trip (eg, how many rounds of golf, type of accommodation, dinners, etc). Once decided, I didn’t have to do a thing!
All flights, rental car, tee times, dining options and quarantine requirements were all provided to us. Literally all we had to do was show up at Essendon airport to get our flights, land, pick up the car and start golfing! He even followed up during our trip to ensure everything was going well.
This was the second trip organised by Steve. We will be using him for all future golf trips.
Many thanks, Steve, for the great responsiveness, advice and ongoing support throughout our trip!
All the best!

The golf courses were amazing and in immaculate condition. The Amari Hotel was outstanding. The rooms were beautiful and quiet and the staff very friendly and helpful.
The van drivers were fantastic and always there before the expected transfer time & with plenty of water for the transfers and golf. The vans used were really modern and very.
Steve, many thanks to you and your team for organising what was a fantastic golf holiday. We had loads of fun and some great golf and I will definitely be going on more of these trips in the future.

Again thanks for all your help and bookings were top notch!

Thank you Steve for another great week of golf, R&R & camaraderie at Millbrook in Queenstown NZ. This is the 5th year you have managed our Millbrook event & it continues to be an outstanding success, only possible with your commitment & dedication to delivering a high quality experience for our guests.
All of the arrangements you made were spot on & ran smoothly, including all the transfers throughout the week. The private functions at Millbrook Resort were again outstanding & provided our guests with a first-class experience.
The feedback from the group was very positive & they are looking forward to future golf holidays under your management. Many of our guests are keen to introduce their friends to our group & give them the opportunity to experience the superb Millbrook Resort at first hand…which is great news.
Thanks again Steve for all your hard work & dedication. As discussed, we have already locked in our dates for March 2020!
Kind Regards,

Dear Steve,
We have just arrived home after the most amazing weekend on King Island!
The lead up to our trip was fuss free, and nothing was too much trouble – flights, transfers, golf and restaurant bookings!
Everything went to plan – flights on time, Gary waiting for us at the airport on landing.
Matt and Emma at “Ocean Dunes” made us toasted sandwiches and a fabulous cheese platter post golf.
Jane at Cape Wickham was also gorgeous and we had another beautiful cheese platter after golf!
We all loved our meals at “Oleada Restaurant” and “Wild Harvest” – again lovely staff.
Our keys were in our doors when we arrived at “Boomerang by the Sea”
Mike introduced himself as we were having a drink on the balcony. Seemed to be a common scenario wherever we went that people knew who we were!!
Gary our main driver has lived on the Island for 63 years and filled us in on the history of King Island as we travelled between courses.
The weekend was made even better with stunning courses, weather and company!
We will be back!
Regards

Our group of eight has travelled for golf since 2007 and in the past done our own bookings, but no more!
For our recent trip to King Island to play Ocean Dunes and Cape Wickham, we used Steve and his organisation was outstanding. With everything going like clockwork, from the accommodation to golf bookings and the amazing service of Mike our driver, who was always on time and a great communicator.
I would recommend Steve to all and we will use him for our next trip to Vietnam in 2019.
February 2019 – Hua Hin, Thailand
Hi Steve, we had an wonderful golf trip to Hua Hin & Pattaya. The hotels you chose were perfect, the golf courses stunning & the transfer company you used were always on time & drivers very professional. Thank you for all recommendations you supplied me…. that made our whole Thailand experience very enjoyable including restaurants & places of interest were enjoyed by all in my group.
In summary, it was an amazing and rewarding trip, so on behalf of myself and my group we congratulate Golf & Leisure Getaways for an excellent and professional itinerary you prepared for us. I look forward to contacting you again as we have decided that our next trip will be to Vietnam.

Hi Steve
Just a short email to thank you for your efforts in organising our recent golf trip to the Central Coast and Hunter Valley.
From the moment we arrived in Sydney to playing the golf courses and the accommodation arrangements, they could not have been better organised. We didn’t have a worry in the world. We enjoyed the golf and the mixture of courses you recommended.
I know our group is already looking forward to our next golf trip and will discuss this with you next year.
Regards

Hey Steve, just wanted to say a massive thanks for everything you did to get all 7 of us over to King Island for our golf trip. Not only did you have to arrange flights from Melbourne and Launceston, nothing ever seemed to be a problem, this included changing names on flights etc. Your recommendation for dinner on both nights was sensational and absolutely delicious. All the lads enjoyed the dinner, the transportation (which was flexible and at our needs) then to play 2 of the best courses in Australia was just to die for. We have all left the island with the fondest memories and will now complete yearly golf trips in our little posse. I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve and the team for anyone whom is thinking of doing any golf traveling in the future. We will definitely use Steve for our trip to President cup next year. Thanks Steve, you are a champ and if we ever meet face to face there’s a beer coming your way.
Cheers

Just a quick note to thank you for organizing our recent golf trip to King Island. Everything went really smoothly and we had a fantastic time.
The two golf courses are magnificent and we were all pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation . The food at the Boomerang restaurant was terrific and the ease of having all transfers included made it very easy to get around without worrying about a designated driver.
We will certainly be recommending you to our friends and thanks again.
Regards

We decided that King Island was a place that we really needed to go in order to play on the two championship courses that everyone was raving about. We were not disappointed. Both Cape Wickham and Ocean Dunes are incredible courses with fantastic water views.
Steve organised the whole trip and did a fabulous job. He sorted out our flights, great accommodation and even booked us in at a fabulous restaurant that had awesome views over the original King Island golf course. Steve made regular contact with us to check that we were all sorted.
We would definitely recommend getting him to sort out any golf trip you are planning on doing. We would also definitely recommend a golf trip to King Island … it is just incredible!

Thanks again for a wonderful tour to NZ. You did a magnificent job of organizing and hosting and we all enjoyed the chance to play on some magnificent courses in Queenstown! We had a great group of people and all in all it was a fantastic trip.
Thanks again Steve and we look forward to our next golf trip with you.
Bev & I would like to express our thanks for such a wonderful trip you organised to the Hunter Valley. We had so much fun and haven’t stopped talking about it since we have been home.
I have also told all the golfers we know, if they ever get the chance to go on any golf & leisure getaways tour, we know they will have a great time.
You made the trip, with your sense of humour, and professional organisation.
Please let us know when you have dates for your NZ trip next year. Many thanks & also for the team photo, we loved it.
