Ellesmere golf club

What a great stopover at Ellesmere Golf Club near Leeston. So peaceful, and the golfers were lovely—we had a good yarn with a few of them.

Just $5 a night to stay! Pets welcome, though no dogs on the golf course… unless you're keen on them dodging golf balls!

There are toilets on site, water available, and it’s a secure spot to park up. What more could you ask for?

Maggie made the most of the sun, happily rolling around on the gravel in the car park area and nibbling at the grass.

Each evening around 5pm, a pheasant would pop out to say hello. It was rather scared when I tried to get photos and would run off—but it was a bit of entertainment either way!

One lovely stop we’ll definitely be back to. ⛳🚐🐾🪿Läs mer
