Intro

Winner of the prestigious World travel award for The Best Golf Resort in New Zealand, Terrace Downs has firmly established itself as the country’s leading high-end destination resort. Whilst having a top 18-hole championship golf course may have added to its premier position, Terrace Downs is so much more; in fact it offers a great taste of the New Zealand that the world wants to see and enjoy.   Terrace Downs is a one-hour easy drive through verdant rolling pasturelands from Christchurch International Airport. The property is perched on the edge of the spectacular Rakaia River, with a breathtaking backdrop of towering Mount Hutt and easy access to ski fields.   Deluxe accommodations at Terrace Downs are in Terrace Villa Suites offering one, two or three bedrooms, and stand-alone three and four bedroom Fairway Chalets landscaped within the front nine holes of the golf course.   The Clubhouse at Terrace Downs hosts the choice of three dining options. Tilley’s Bar & Brasserie is a great meeting spot for lunch and dinner, offering a wide range of meals and snacks. Avoca is the resorts signature restaurant, and is renowned for cuisine and service that has become a favourite with guests and the local community for the place of choice for fine dining. The Grill reflects classic High Country hospitality, with barbecue specialties and a wood-fired oven.   Catering to guests of all ages, Terrace Downs offers many leisure and adventure activities that showcase the resort’s stunning location. A little less active is The Spa at Terrace Downs, set in a delightful stand-alone chalet and offering a range of treatments, therapies and pure pampering options.
