Perched as a testament to the art of experiential travel, Kauri Cliffs invites guests to savour the untouched grandeur of New Zealand’s coastal paradise
To city dwellers, New Zealand can often be equated with sprawling nature and vast lands, so picking the ideal accommodation to make the most of the expansive views is key. Of Robertson Lodges‘ three heritage-rich estates, one remains quietly nestled on the unspoiled coastline of its Northland. The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, offering an unrivaled panorama across the Pacific Ocean, nearby islands, and pristine private beaches, naturally becomes a discerning choice. We pick out five highlights to look forward to at the property.
Grand views
Set on a vast 6,000-acre expanse in the Bay of Islands, Kauri Cliffs boasts an unbridled coastline where high cliffs cradle three pristine private beaches. Opening this season, newly-developed walking trails connect the three private beaches north to south, weaving through the cliff tops and down to the ocean. The Pacific Ocean, adorned with islands, serves as the picturesque backdrop to the globally renowned golf course (Top 50 in the entire world).
Opulent accommodations
The 22 spacious guest suites offer tranquility and a genuine connection to the surrounding native New Zealand forest. For those seeking a higher level of privacy and amenity, the resort provides expansive two and four-bedroom villas, each featuring private pools and spacious terraces—an idyllic haven for families or friends.
Culinary excellence
Executive Chef Paul Froggatt, named New Zealand Luxury Lodge Chef Of The Year at the recent New Zealand Cuisine Awards, brings his culinary expertise to the table. Melding British roots with French training, European cuisine is further enhanced with New Zealand’s superior produce. Froggatt effortlessly crafts sublime dishes, sourcing the finest regional produce to ensure that every meal reaches the highest level of quality and taste.
Wellness oasis
The spa at Kauri Cliffs is a sanctuary at the edge of a Totara forest, providing rejuvenation with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a verdant fern glen and a winding stream. With a range of treatments, sauna, Jacuzzi, and fitness center, guests can indulge in relaxation amidst native bird songs and forest surroundings.
Itinerary variety
Beyond luxurious, world-class amenities, a plethora of activities are available for your choosing. Relaxed options like cultural tours, scenic helicopter flights, and land-based fishing are easily matched with the higher octane mountain biking, guided ATV tours, horse-riding, surfing, and more. If that’s too many choices, let them handle the activity planning for you. Alongside a dedicated concierge, family-friendly experiences are just one of the many services the resort extends in its commitment to excellence.
