The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, a Relais & Chateaux hideaway, is located in the Bay of Islands region, an easy drive or just a 45-minute flight from Auckland. Set on over 6,000 acres near Matauri Bay, The Lodge enjoys spectacular 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean and overlooks the championship golf course.

 

The beautiful lodge, built in a grand colonial style, was listed by Conde Nast's Gold List 2012 as one of the world's best places to stay. Eleven outlying cottages, each with two private guest suites, provide the spacious accommodation. All offer their own private patio, a fireplace, a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom. Many open onto covered verandas providing options for alfresco dining next to outdoor fireplaces taking in the mesmerising views. 

 

Your stay at The Lodge includes breakfast, pre-dinner drinks with hors d'oeuvres and gourmet dinner. The restaurant offers delicious Pacific Rim cuisine and boasts stunning panoramic views of Cape Brett and the offshore Cavalli Islands. A private chef is available for a BBQ or picnic at the beach. The Luxury Spa has floor-to-ceiling views and opens onto a private outdoor spa treatment area.
