Elegant and refined, Rosewood Kauri Cliffs is a country club style luxury lodge offering one of New Zealand's top-rated golf courses and not one, but three private beaches in the beautiful Bay of Islands.
In New Zealand’s Far North lies an unspoilt peninsula where high cliffs plunge to the sea to meet three pristine, private beaches. Set on 6,000 acres, Rosewood Kauri Cliffs affords spectacular 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean with panoramic Bay of Islands vistas encompassing Cape Brett, the famous ‘Hole in the Rock’ and the Cavalli Islands. Rosewood Kauri Cliffs golf course is rated amongst the finest in New Zealand, and the world. Far from just a golf resort, guests enjoy surfing, hiking, sailing, biking, fishing, farm tours, spa treatments, Maori cultural experiences and luxurious beachside indulgences with gourmet hampers or private chefs.


The splendid plantation style luxury lodge hosts elegant living rooms and a beautiful dining room with outdoor decks overlooking the Bay of Islands. Rosewood Kauri Cliffs’ 22 guest suites are nestled in a peaceful bush setting adjacent to the main lodge building. All enjoy king or twin beds, fireplaces, oversized bathtubs, and decks with views over the golf course to the Pacific Ocean beyond. The spacious ultraluxe Villas at Kauri Cliffs are perfect for multi-generational family vacations and celebrations, providing private villa style accommodation with Rosewood Kauri Cliffs’ luxury lodge amenities and services.
Opportunities abound for on-property outdoor pursuits including hikes to the waterfall, tennis, picnics on Pink Beach, guided bird watching, fishing, surfing and farm tours.

many many many thanks!!!!!!"

Planning a 7 week trip is daunting enough without the complications of COVID cancellations, rebookings, and closures. Yet every connection, every transportation detail, every accommodation, every meal, everything was flawless.
We can't thank Southern Crossings enough for making this trip all, and more, than we had imagined. You allowed us to see the best of your countries: the people, the beauty, the culture. Five stars, a blue ribbon, and a gold medal to everyone at Southern Crossings!"
