Stayed here for 2 nights. Room not ready on arrival late in the day despite resort only having 3 rooms booked for the night, complimentary drink as an apology for the delay. Room very clean except for the drinking glasses which both still bore the lipstick of the last guest. Staff very friendly. Food at restaurant fabulous but limited menu... More

We spent two days here at the resort and the location as well as the facility are outstanding. The golf course, grounds, rooms and nearby beach are all five star. However, the restaurant has a very limited menu (four main items for dinner), and as such, this is not a place to stay for very long as the next closest... More

my husband and I stayed for 7 days over christmas period, we had the best room which had fantastic views over the golf course and to the ocean and was a 1 minute boardwalk to the restaurant. The staff were all very helpful and the rooms spotlessly clean. Overall all due to the remoteness of the hotel and as non... More

Stayed in a Self contained 3brm Villa overlooking the Golf Course for 1 night. Curious setup with the Hotel facilities a small distance away requiring a short car ride to access. Old fashioned TV and no TV at all in the main bedroom. Otherwise all good but probably a bit expensive. The staff try hard, but because of the location,... More

My wife and I stayed at the resort for three nights; it was a nice setting with fantastic views. The staff was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The food was lovely but the menu was limited. If you are a business man and need to keep in touch with the world the internet service was poor. That... More

We took the opportunity to escape to Carrington Resort. What a great choice this was. We arrived very late past midnight and the staff were there quickly and showed us to our room. In the morning the scenery was breathtaking. What a location. Beach nearby, and a stunning Golf Course in front of us. Played and had a great round... More

Even in the pouring rain you could see how beautiful the view would be from Carrington on a good day: the lodge looks out to the sand dunes, inlet and white sands of Karikari beach and I imagine the walk to the beach would be fantastic. Our lodge room was large, comfortable ad well appointed if a bit soul-less. Staff... More

We enjoyed two nights here and two rounds of golf. The course is in superb condition. The restaurant meals were outstanding - the tenderest aged beef ever eaten. It was a wonderful touch to meet the chef and to talk to him at length. Service overall was top notch - lovely staff. The rooms in the lodge are generous in... More

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our two days at Carrington Resort. As a keen golfer, I was in heaven. The course is very well presented and is a great challenge. I was pleasantly surprised by the seclusion and tranquility. This is a place that would never seem busy even if it was full. This is the paragraph where people normally add... More
