Queenstowns five-star Millbrook Resort has once again beat off stiff national competition to take out the title of New Zealands Best Golf Resort at the travel industrys most prestigious awards ceremony held in Dubai earlier this month.

The multi award-winning golf and lifestyle resort, set on 500 acres of grounds near Arrowtown, won the top spot for the third year running, making it one of the most lauded golf courses in Australasia and the world.

Widely-referred to as The Oscars of the Travel World, the World Travel Awards (WTA) celebrates those companies and brands that "push the boundaries of industry excellence in product and service".

Millbrook Director of Golf, Brian Spicer said the award win was an important recognition in the lead up to the Resorts inclusion in next years New Zealand Open.

"The entire team has worked hard in the last five or so years to ensure we maintain our high standards, providing one of the best golfing experiences in the country. Were certainly up there with the worlds best," said Mr Spicer.

"Our hard work has certainly paid off, not only with the acknowledgement of this prestigious award for the third consecutive year, but also being co-host of the 2014 NZ Open- which is a huge privilege."

"Were absolutely thrilled to be a part of this prestigious tournament, which will be the pre-eminent sporting event in the country this summer.

"Our dedication to providing world-class facilities and five-star service has enabled us to become part of the NZ Open for 2014," Mr Spicer said.

"People come from all over the world to stay and play Milbrooks greens and were constantly reminded by people of how beautiful the course and surrounds are.

"The NZ Open will allow us to showcase Millbrook to a worldwide audience," said Mr Spicer.
