ROOMS & SUITES: 22 Suites

World-famous for its breathtaking golf course, Kauri Cliffs has also forged a reputation for excellence in dining and luxury accommodation.

Kauri Cliffs, a member of Relais & Chateaux, is the epitome of refinement in a distant corner of the world. The property has a variety of villas dotted along the golf course, each with its own private deck and views across the Pacific Ocean.

Obviously golf is a major draw card, however there are also three fabulous beaches, one a breathtaking pink shell beach, and all are safe for swimming. Likewise fishing charters shouldn't be overlooked as the area boasts some of the finest game fishing in the country.
