ROSEWOOD KAURI CLIFFS, NORTHLAND NEW ZEALAND

Rosewood Kauri Cliffs is a luxury lodge set on 6,000 acres of pristine coastal land in New Zealand’s Bay of Islands. Positioned above dramatic cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Cape Brett and the Cavalli Islands, the property features elegant architecture and interiors that frame the surrounding landscape.

​

Suites are housed within cottages nestled in native forest, each offering sweeping ocean views, open fireplaces, spacious bathrooms with deep tubs, and private verandas. Expansive two- to four-bedroom residences extend the experience, with private pools, fully equipped kitchens, sunlit terraces and generous living areas designed for gatherings with family and friends.

​

Guests have direct access to Pink Beach, a secluded stretch of shell-strewn sand reached by winding bush tracks and often used for picnics and private barbecues. The lodge’s clifftop setting also connects to a wider coastline of hidden coves and walking tracks, providing exclusive immersion in Northland’s natural beauty. The par-72 championship golf course, designed by David Harman, is consistently ranked among the world’s best. Measuring 7,119 yards, the course winds through farmland, native forest and along the cliffs, with several holes playing directly beside the Pacific. Expansive fairways, bold bunkering and uninterrupted ocean vistas make it both a technically challenging and visually striking course. The spa is nestled within native forest, with treatment rooms that open to gardens and private decks. Treatments draw on local botanicals and traditions, creating a connection between wellness and place. Facilities include a sauna, Jacuzzi, heated lap pool and fully equipped fitness centre. 

At Kauri Cliffs, luxury is rooted in scale, privacy and a deep connection to the land. It is a retreat where refined design and New Zealand’s natural heritage come together to create one of the country’s most exclusive destinations.
