Rosewood Kauri Cliffs

With spectacular views over Matauri Bay, Cape Brett and the offshore Cavalli Islands and set on 6,000 acres of land, Rosewood Kauri Cliffs is among the most exclusive and luxurious in all New Zealand. The main lodge, which overlooks the golf course as well as the Pacific Ocean, consists of a spacious beamed living room, where gourmet dinners and breakfasts are served in the main dining area or on the verandas.

There are 11 outlying guest cottages, each with two guest suites. Every suite has its own private porch, comfortable bedroom with sitting area and open fireplace, walk-in wardrobe and bathroom. The cottages are nestled on the edge of a native forest, overlooking the ocean and golf course. Amenities include two astroturf tennis courts, an infinity swimming pool with spa and a fully equipped fitness center. Rosewood Kauri Cliffs has three secluded swimming beaches, which are ideal for picnics and barbecues.
