About Us

Our adventure with this property began when we purchased the Pāuatahanui Golf Course in 2019 when sadly the viability of the founding club ended. Within a couple of months the adjacent farm came up so we bought that as well (how often does your neighbour’s property come on the market?). Suddenly we had almost 200ha of which the nine-hole golf course made up just over 12%. What to do?

It didn’t take long to establish the dream – we’d keep the working farm but have the sheep mowing the lawns of an outdoor Art Park that we’d build. The centrepiece would by a trail along which we’d erect a ‘wish list’ of substantial sculptures. This project, I figured would never end, and even now I think we’ll just keep doing sculpture projects, they’re so challenging yet satisfying.

The other projects in the Art Park involve the performing arts – indoor and outdoor concerts and drama. It’s just fun to enjoy these in a natural setting.

The outdoor recreation projects have involved restoring the golf course to its full potential and having it available to golfers of all abilities who seek a stress-less environment in which to enjoy their recreation. The course is encased within our native bush conservation and restoration project and is becoming more and more beautiful as Nature does her thing. Our trails and tracks offer plenty of opportunities for cycling and trekking.

From the concerts we hold in our ‘kiwi batch’ style clubhouse through to the fine dining offered in our Lodge and smaller Eatery, there are plenty of opportunities to host visitors in comfort.

Who would have thought just what a beautiful location Transmission Gully actually is. We are a New Zealand owned and operated business.
