Qualmark 5-Star

Qualmark is New Zealand tourism’s official mark of quality. All operators that display Qualmark have been independently assessed as professional and trustworthy. The Fairways is now rated Qualmark 5 Star which is exceptional and amongst the very best available in New Zealand.

Enviro Gold

As New Zealand's official mark of quality for tourism, all businesses that have a Qualmark are also assessed on their environmental performance. This recognises businesses for their initiatives in energy, waste, water, conservation and community. The Fairways have an exemplary record in reducing their footprint on the environment and have been awarded Enviro Gold status by Qualmark.

New to the Fairways stable is our very own Golf Cart and travel trailer as pictured in the photo gallery. This is available for hire during your stay. Please feel free to book it in with you accommodation booking online.
