Puka Park great for the sporty or the exhausted

Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort is a destination for serious Day Spa trippers and golf enthusiasts alike this summer.

Situated on the picturesque Coromondel Peninsula, less than two hours drive from Auckland, the resort's fully refurbished Nature's Touch Day Spa offers Lithos therapy using hot and cold rocks. Treatment packages such as the Day Dreamer, the Sea Escape or the Body Reviver also offer traditional massages and treatments to restore a sense of wellbeing.

Beginners and professionals can take to the nearby international standard Lakes Resort Golf course. Since opening the course has received praise from both local and international professionals for its challenging design and scenic landscape. Beware of the 10th and 17th holes.
