The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, Matauri Bay
A world-class plantation-style lodge set on a 6000-acre estate overlooking the stunning Cavalli Islands.
On your approach to this exclusive Relais & Chateaux boutique lodge you will be struck by the breathtaking panoramic views of the offshore Cavalli Islands. A white-columned veranda wraps around the welcoming country house-style lodge and the service is exemplary – you will feel like a treasured guest in a grand home.
Activities here showcase the region’s natural beauty, from the award-winning par 72 championship golf course which boasts a dramatic cliff-top setting to nature walks – ranging from a ten-minute bush walk to a two-hour hike to the beach. A winding fern-lined path leads to the lodge’s sensational spa which is set in a Totara forest overlooking a stream.
Gourmet à la carte dining is available in the main dining room or on the verandas and in the summer you can head down to Pink Beach for barbecues. Cosy dens are available for private dining or you can arrange a picnic on the beach, by a waterfall or in the forest.
The six lavishly spacious residence-style Suites are set in three charming cottages and each feature a cosy fireplace, sitting area, sunken bath and magnificent views of the golf course and ocean. 16 Deluxe Suites are set at the edge of the forest, opening out to a large private terrace and some interconnect to a smaller second bedroom – ideal for families.

Amazing, awesome, incredible, bucket list golf! If you are a golf affectionado, and love golf and golf travel, you must visit Kauri Cliffs. Conditioning, clubhouse, food, all fabulous. Fabulous views, great staff, bucket list stuff. Not cheap but neither is Pebble or Dornoch! Nothing but great memories at Kauri Cliffs

The property and buildings are beautiful to be sure !! However, The room prices were so completey out of sync with the quality of room, view and overall hotel experience. Our view was partially blocked by overgrown trees . The people in reception were nice but our dinner server for both nights,Pina, was unknowledgeable about the menu and really couldn’t be bothered with the details. She didn’t even try to give us the actual name of one of the dishes she said “it’s just some frenchy thing” The dinner food was barely okay - not nearly worthy of the hefty price tag The lunch was inedible - I’ll tell you how you can mess up a burger…. Smother it top and bottom with an unidentifiable sauce ! And ruin a simple chicken wrap the same way The golf shop service was medium and our caddie was terrible - snotty and just wasn’t trying to help like a caddie should . Tiny gym, tiny spa, small outdoor pool ( with a gorgeous view ) Since our visit, we’ve been to two other golf properties in NZ ….at 1/3 of the cost we enjoyed far better overall experiences. Will advise everyone to skip this resort

We stayed in February/2024, for a business event, and left 1600 US dollars and our passports in the safe. On the last day we went to pick it up and it was missing 500 dollars. We spoke to management, but so far we have not heard back from the hotel.
