Amazing views, amazing staff, and amazing golf!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Sept 2023
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!

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!

The opportunity to stay at Kauri Cliffs is one to take if you want something very special.
Location, facilities, accommodation and staff are all amazing
Cost is prohibitive but if you can afford it then do it
