Opening Soon: The Residences at Kauri Cliffs

Looking to take the entire family to New Zealand? Robertson Lodges will open three new Residences at Kauri Cliffs this November. 

While identical in floorplan, each of the four-bedroom Residences will have a different décor by acclaimed New Zealand interior designer Virginia Fisher. Food is intended to be a highlight with farm-to-table cuisine prepared by private chefs; the Residences also have a family-sized kitchen and casual dining island. 

All four bedrooms have large wardrobes, en-suite bathrooms and direct access to verandas. The master bedroom offers views of the farmland, golf course and Pacific Ocean. 

Good to know: Guests can take a private golf cart to the main lodge — just a short drive away — to enjoy the resort’s tennis courts, walking trails, private beaches and the fitness center. Adventure-seeking guests can take part in onsite activities, such as surfing, ATV excursions and fishing with a local guide.

The Residences at Kauri Cliffs also offer a covered veranda and a private 25-foot salt water swimming pool. 

For those who are looking to explore off-property, a top option is helicopter flightseeing to the twin coasts of Northland. Stops can include ATV Quad Biking on a 90-mile beach and immersive walks in the Waipoua Forest (where travelers can encounter the kauri tree Tane Mahuta, lord of the forest on Maori legend). Another pick is a full day of sailing in the Bay of Islands onboard a luxury catamaran; this experience includes marine mammal sightings, island-hopping-and-exploring, kayaking and paddle boarding.

Reservations manager Robyn Younger (reservations@kauricliffs.com; 011-649-407-0010) can assist with booking the Residences and excursions.
