About this hotel

Sophisticated and elegant, Rosewood Kauri Cliffs has panoramic views across the Pacific Ocean. Tastefully designed by Virginia Fisher, the lodge is timelessly beautiful, offering space, comfort, and complete relaxation amidst the homeliness of soft furnishings, warm carpets, and blonde woods. Resting on an unspoilt coastline where high cliffs give way to three pristine private beaches, Kauri Cliffs is experiential travel at its best. Named the number one resort in Australia and New Zealand by *Travel + Leisure*, Kauri Cliffs is a leisure traveler’s dream. Activities abound with the David Harman–designed golf course, immersive local heritage tours, bountiful fishing, bush walks, mountain biking, quad biking, and a spa sanctuary hidden within the native forest. Accommodation is offered in 22 suites set in outlying cottages separate from the main lodge, as well as a two-bedroom Owner's Cottage. Each suite has its own private balcony, bedroom with sitting area and open fireplace, walk-in wardrobe, and bathroom. The cottages are nestled in native forest overlooking the golf course and the Pacific Ocean. Kauri Cliffs is a member of Relais & Châteaux and is a sister property to Cape Kidnappers and Matakauri Lodge.
