“Spectacular”

Reviewed March 24, 2013

Wow this place is amazing!! We had 2 nights at Cavalli this month and it exceeded all expectations. The scenery and location is superb. In terms of privacy and natural beauty this is a rare jem and we have traveled a lot so have plenty of places to compare this to. The view of islands and the fact that you... More

“Wish New Zealand wasn't so far away...”

Reviewed March 22, 2013

Just what it says...a retreat. A simply glorious, quiet location to use as a home base after attending an international business conference in Auckland and while touring the northern end of the country. The view from our suite was incredible; islands and turquoise water that was framed by a fuchsia bougainvillea blooming on the deck. I reveled in the bathroom.... More

“Cavalli..."luxury" lodge not quite.”

Reviewed March 11, 2013

When you charge $650 per night I believe you need to commit to almost flawless service and deliver a wonderful facility, as well as, creating an overall positive experience for your guests. Unfortunately, the Cavalli did not measure up to these high standards for us. Let’s start with what worked. As the other reviewers have said, the location right on... More

hello Richard Firstly let me say how sorry we are that we did not come up to your expectations. I will keep this response short, because if I explain everything it will become too lengthy. Nearly everything you complain about could have been perfectly easily rectified if you had just asked at any time during your three night stay. We... More

“Stunning location & retreat”

Reviewed October 15, 2012

What a place to go for a couple of days. The retreat is nestled in a secluded little bay with great views from every room. We were made to feel very welcome by Carrie and Richard. We had planned to drive down to the bay of islands for a day trip but there was no need when we were staying... More

“Good Hosts”

Reviewed September 27, 2012

Carrie and Richard are consumate hosts and Carrie kindly assisted with an oversight with our return travel plans. The beach house has perfect views across the bay and is in a secluded area. We had the house to ourselves and enjoyed the pre-dinner drinks to get to know our hosts

hello Madelyn I am so sorry that we did not come up to expectations. I rang Krystel, your travel agent and she told me that you had found Cavalli Beach House "musty" - I can only apolgise and agree with you - we have had (actually, are still having) the wettest winter on record in the Far North and I...

Cavalli Beach House is unlike any place I have ever been.

The accommodations are luxurious while maintaining a cozy and welcoming feel, helping us feel right at home. The views are... More

“Outstanding”

The Cavalli Beach House formed a grand finale to our 3-week honeymoon in NZ! The setting is spectacular, with uninterrupted views across the entire bay. Carrie & Richard are great hosts and made us feel truly welcome. We stayed for 4 nights and had a wonderful time walking the peninsula, kayaking, swimming and just relaxing. Back in Germany we're already... More
