The Kauri Cliffs Residences are so impressive how they struck the perfect balance between comfort and luxury. I am so impressed by the cozy and inviting rooms while still feeling incredibly luxurious.
The owners recognized the architectural significance of colonial workers’ cottages that were prevalent throughout New Zealand during the 19th and 20th centuries. They skillfully blended these historical elements with modern architectural design trends.
Fortunately, they were able to work with professionals such as the acclaimed New Zealand interior designer Virginia Fisher.
Kauri Cliffs is one of New Zealand’s most luxurious lodges. It appears that I am not the only one experiencing this.
Before I get into the latest real estate development news, let’s mention Kauri Cliff’s golf course. It was designed by David Harman. Kauri Cliffs is currently ranked #37 in the world by Golf Digest Top 100 Greatest Golf Courses in the World. Recently, Rees Jones renovated it.
The resort itself is set on 6,000 acres of farmland at the northern tip of New Zealand’s sub-tropical North Island, with long, 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Cape Brett, and the Cavalli Islands.
Kauri Cliffs Residences by Robertson Lodges
This unique property, one of three in New Zealand operated by Robertson Lodges, had long featured a single 4-bedroom Owners Cottage, where members of the Robertson family would stay when visiting the Northland.
When made available to guests, this Residence invariably sold out in a matter of hours. In 2020, ownership resolved to build three comparable Residences where a foursome or family might stay for a weekend, a week’s vacation, or maybe a month.
Inside the 4-bedroom accommodations, each of the three Residences exudes its own individual style, with warm décors by acclaimed New Zealand interior designer Virginia Fisher that perfectly blend with the surrounding green hills and blue seascapes of the Northland.
Their spacious lounge and living areas are perfectly designed for guests to gather and relax, as is the family-sized kitchen complete with a casual dining island and a butler’s pantry for exclusive chef service.
Each Residence features an expansive veranda that flows to a 25-foot saltwater pool and surrounding deck.
Whether guests choose a Residence or a cottage suite, stays at Kauri Cliffs are all-inclusive, with a full daily breakfast in the main Lodge, lunch, pre-dinner drinks, canapes, dinner, and a generously stocked mini-bar with New Zealand wine, beer, and select spirits.
