Set on 6,000 acres of rolling farmland, native forest, and secluded coastline in New Zealand’s Far North, Rosewood Kauri Cliffs is a place of quiet scale and rare perspective. Suites and villas are positioned to take in uninterrupted views of the Pacific, while the wider estate unfolds into private beaches, walking trails and one of the world’s most celebrated clifftop golf courses.
The experience here is gently all-encompassing—intuitive service, deeply local cuisine, and a sense of immersion in landscape that feels both expansive and deeply personal.
Accommodation
Rosewood Kauri Cliffs offers 22 suites and two villas
Ocean View Junior Suite
Nestled into the hillside, near the main lodge, these suites are intimate and quietly elegant, with open fireplaces, generous bathrooms, and east-facing balconies framing views over the golf course to the ocean beyond.
Grand Ocean View Junior Suite
More spacious and privately positioned at the edge of native forest, these suites offer a heightened sense of seclusion, larger living areas, and expansive balconies oriented towards the Pacific horizon.
Ocean View Two-Bedroom Family Suite
Designed for families, these suites combine the privacy of two ensuite bedrooms with shared living space and wide balconies—creating a relaxed, residential feel while retaining the intimacy of the lodge setting.
Two-Bedroom Villa
A private residence within the estate, the two-bedroom villa offers generous indoor-outdoor living, separate bedroom wings, and an infinity-edge pool overlooking the ocean—ideal for guests seeking space and independence.
Four-Bedroom Villa
The most expansive accommodation, this villa is designed for families or small groups, with multiple bedrooms, large entertaining spaces, and private pools—offering the privacy of a home with full lodge services.
Dining
Dining at Kauri Cliffs is grounded in the landscape—seasonal produce, line-caught seafood, and regional ingredients interpreted through refined, European-influenced cuisine. Menus change daily, with multi-course dinners, pre-dinner aperitifs, and breakfasts included, often accompanied by New Zealand wines.
More immersive experiences—such as private “Tide to Table” dining on Pink Beach or chef-led coastal barbecues—bring guests closer to the land and sea that define the property.
