All are members of the exclusive Relais & Chateaux collection.

Managing Director Jay Robertson commented on the latest award, "Kauri Cliffs has received many accolades over the past decade for its sheer beauty and world-class accommodation, but to make history at Travel + Leisure Magazine by attaining a perfect service score for the first time in the award's 17 year history may be the most gratifying award we have ever received. We have a wonderful team at Kauri Cliffs, many who have been with us since the lodge opened, and for them to be recognised by Travel + Leisure's readers as the best in the world is one of our greatest achievements. The award really belongs to this passionate and dedicated team of professionals who constantly deliver and ensure each and every guest at Kauri Cliffs is treated with the utmost care", Robertson said.
