    Perfection.
    I have never felt so comfortable and yet so pampered at a property anywhere. Approachable and friendly staff, impeccable service, wonderful food, amazing views. Rooms are thoughtfully designed, quiet, peaceful and luxurious. Highly recommend staying on a Tuesday night in the summer when you can take advantage of the BBQ on the pink sand beach. Truly the highlight of our trip. Property has 6,000 acres and many walking/hiking trails of moderate difficulty. We spent three days hiking and could have stayed one or two more if we added a helicopter or farm tour. Recommend minimum 4 nights' stay to fully enjoy this property. We drove from Auckland, but flight to local airport reportedly easy by other guests. If you do drive, make sure to go to Honey House Cafe or Plough & Feather in Kerikeri located in one of the most picturesque spots nearby. Robertson Lodge properties were the best of our visit to New Zealand. Don't hesitate to stay at one or all of them. Thanks to the staff for making our 25th anniversary trip so special and one we will never forget!

    Outstanding Experience
    We had a group of 5 couples, friends for 30 years, who come together for a trip every two years, typically overseas. We researched luxury accommodation in NZ given travel restrictions and from a shortlist selected Kauri Cliffs. We definitely got it right. Our stay was outstanding, the property, the setting, the rooms, the food and most of all the staff were excellent. We had a fabulous 5 days and would highly recommend Kauri Cliffs. It's so much more than a world class golf course (I don't play golf!)

    Fabulous, top end, lodge
    This is a fabulous property. Added to that is a diverse collection of outstanding staff, who simply cannot do enough to make your stay wonderful. The lodge has its own golf course with spectacular views, as well as a number of walking trails, including two to wonderful beaches. They can also provide bicycles and electric bicycles. Cocktails and canapés are served from 6pm and there is the ability to have dinner either inside the restaurant or on the terrace. The same is true for breakfast. A wide range of dining options includes a signature tasting menu, and a la carte (changes daily). A must is the weekly BBQ on Pink Beach. There is a spa, outdoor and indoor swimming pools and a simple, but very well equipped gym.

We visited the lodge recently for 4 nights on our honeymoon across New Zealand. We were blown away at how amazing the property was and how personable the staff was. The golf was first class. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who truly needs some relaxation while taking in the views, private beaches, and the 6000 acres of private land the lodge has to explore. This was the highlight of our 12 day trip.

As a professional travel writer for 30 years this was one of my finest stays anywhere-- the lodge is exemplary in everything it takes on and the golf course was a delight, the people warm and sincere, the location beautiful beyond description. Don't miss pink beach.

Want to celebrate something special to you is where the 'Cliffs' excel. They make you feel very unique and in all ways make you trip there, for whatever reason, a memorable occasion. And it is those outstanding events that plant a special memory in your mind where many others simply blur!

My stay at the Kauri Cliffs in Northland was truly one of the best I have ever had. This resort is a beautiful paradise full of luxurious comfort, an abundance of quality amenities, breathtaking natural surroundings and the most genuine Robertson Lodges hospitality. The grounds are stunning, the suite is very large, has a walk in closet, large vanity area, plenty of counter space, and beautiful view . Golf carts take you all throughout the property and are quick to pick you up on request. We never waited more than two minutes for a golf cart. The entire team throughout the Kauri Cliffs was remarkable and really made us stay extra special. The staff was courteous and went out of their way to make us comfortable . Special mention for manager , who was the first meeting & greeting us on our arrival . He really won us over with his warm hospitality . He was prompt with his replies and really anticipated our needs and gave us excellent suggestions . I would especially like to thank Ms. Marina for adding that extra magic and sparkle to my stay. After a unique, personal issue occurred shortly after my arrival, she quickly jumped into action and with a great help ! The welcoming happy smiles, the attention to even the smallest of details and the generous, heart warming service was exceptional. Luxury at its best. We had an amazing stay and the courtesy of staff is unparalleled. I was so touched and impressed with the Robertson family at Kauri Cliffs , it is truly an exceptional resort.

We stayed at Kauri Cliffs for three nights in March 2023 and it was truly wonderful. The service, views, food, golf, our room, the relaxed environment - everything was incredible. The staff are so friendly and super-accommodating and make you feel like family. The golf course was the most picturesque I have played. Also - because the course doesn't receive a lot of play, you feel like you have the entire course to yourself which was a nice bonus. It was a special occasion destination for us and it did not disappoint in the least. We will be talking about our experience there for a long time!

If we could add an infinite number of dots to the review button to make it far more than excellent we would. It is a given that The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs provides luxury accommodations and they are luxurious. If you want the ultimate in luxury accommodations shop no further. It is not, however, the beautiful location or the luxury accommodations that would keep me coming back. It is the team of dedicated staff who make the Lodge at Kauri Cliffs an experience well above and beyond 5 stars. We were all personally greeted and shown around the property. A wonderful lunch was provided for us even though we arrived long after the lunch menu was being served. We enjoyed incredibly relaxing massages in the SPA and wonderful meals in the dining room. A huge thank you to Sebastian and the entire team for making our meals so very special. It was my birthday while we were visiting and the team went well above and beyond to make it memorable. We stayed in the owners cottage, Beautiful. Comfortable. Great for Two couples with two master suites and a large living area. The views were second to none and the pool was warm and inviting. We did see the other accomodations and they were all lovely. A very special trip at a very special lodge.

Kauri Cliffs Lodge offers a unique luxurious experience on all levels. Our deluxe suite overlooking the panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean & the immaculate green golf course was certainly magical and enchanting. We don’t play golf but we wished we did as the golf course with its 15 oceanfront holes looked absolutely fabulous. We however enjoyed using the golf buggy to drive around to explore the stunning property and discover the many nature walks. The food was also excellent which was fully inclusive. We enjoyed all meals. Dinner was definitely the highlight with a degustation menu with matching wines. I’m still dreaming of my creamy delicious chocolate mousse!! Staff were equally outstanding, especially Debbie and John who continually gave exceptional warm friendly humorous service. 10/10 👏 Overall - A spectacular luxurious lodge overlooking the Pacific Ocean, coastlines and 18 hole golf course. ⛳️ Kauri Cliffs lodge delivers pure indulgence in service, cuisine, facilities , accommodation and activities.
