Kauri Cliffs - Northland
Kauri Cliffs is the first of the Robertson lodges. A really beautiful location, a superbly designed lodge, impeccable service and food, and with one of the country's finest golf courses. In terms of luxury accommodation in the Bay of Islands area, this lodge ranks highly.
Situated a little north of the Bay of Islands, the property also has several private beaches and a quality horse trekking outfit using its land.
A little more formal than some lodges with a style some might compare to a US country club.
It is also necessary to drive some way to board your fishing/cruising charter, so not the best place for fishermen.
However, these are minor drawbacks indeed given the quality of everything else on offer at Kauri Cliffs.
