MAGNIFICENT VIEWS
Set on a 6,000-acre working farm near Matauri Bay, Rosewood Kauri Cliffs promises comfort, relaxation and the most magnificent views across the deep blue of the Pacific.
Built in a grand colonial style, this sophisticated hotel lies just north of New Zealand’s Bay of Islands – a haven of undeveloped beaches and water sports. Guests are made to feel immediately at home in individually designed suites, stunning villas and an exclusive Owner’s Cottage. Gorgeous living and dining rooms await you, many opening onto covered verandas with outdoor fireplaces and stunning ocean views. Gourmet a la carte dining is served indoors and al fresco. Menus changes nightly and makes full use of the region’s bounty of fresh, seasonal produce.
ENDLESS ACTIVITIES
For those who want them, there are endless activities available. Swim, snorkel and kayak from three pristine and private beaches; explore stunning coastal scenery on foot, horseback and mountain bike. Or test your game on the acclaimed, David Harman-designed championship golf course. Return for a drink in the main lodge’s warm and inviting living room, or a cooling dip in the infinity pool. The spa facility is nestled at the edge of a Totara forest and overlooks a verdant fern glen and winding stream. Each treatment room has floor to ceiling views and opens into a private outdoor space where guests enjoy high quality, personalised treatments.

A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.
