Rosewood Kauri Cliffs

What an outstanding property and team of people. The welcome was amazing, the service incredibly professional and friendly and the lodge and villas are beautiful. While we are not golfers and this is primarily a golf resort, the whole experience including the lunch, dinner and breakfast was truly stunning.

Our stay at the property was truly enchanting, beginning with its breathtaking natural beauty. The meticulously manicured lawns perfectly framed the panoramic vista from the main building, offering an unparalleled, serene outlook over the ocean. Gazing upon the endless horizon from this vantage point was an incredibly calming and restorative experience, setting a tranquil tone for our entire visit. The warm welcome we received from the moment of our arrival set a high standard for our stay. The front desk team, notably Mitchell and Mariel, consistently provided impeccable service, handling every inquiry with professionalism and a genuine desire to assist. A particularly helpful team member (Asian lady), whose name I regrettably didn't catch, was often the cheerful voice answering calls and providing invaluable assistance. Michael from guest services further exemplified this commitment to excellence, demonstrating remarkable attentiveness and efficiency during our check-in process. The restaurant operations were a marvel of efficiency and guest-centric service. Under the exceptional leadership of Marina, truly the backbone of the establishment, the entire team operated with the precision of a well-oiled machine. Her ability to navigate daily pressures with unwavering grace and a radiant smile was truly inspiring. Supported by a dedicated crew including Jeremiah, Nicholas, Mike, Zack, and Ashish, the dining area consistently offered a pampering and enjoyable atmosphere for all patrons. A true standout amongst the staff was Ashish, who serves not only as a manager but also as Kauri Cliffs’ distinguished in-house Sommelier. His dedication to guest comfort was evident in his hands-on approach; he was often seen assisting his team with the same diligence as a server, demonstrating a remarkable commitment to operational excellence. Ashish’s profound knowledge of wines, coupled with his unparalleled ability to recommend the perfect pairing for each dish, underscored his reputation as one of New Zealand’s top Sommeliers. Learning about his journey from humble beginnings to such an esteemed position was genuinely captivating, revealing a truly remarkable and wonderful individual who is undoubtedly a tremendous asset to the hotel. Our experience was further enriched by the thoughtful assistance of Arjun, who ensured all guests felt thoroughly settled and well-informed. He went above and beyond to highlight the property's unique offerings, particularly emphasizing the exclusive access to the breathtaking private Pink Beach – a truly unmissable highlight. We are especially grateful to Arjun for arranging and to Neil for kindly driving us to this spectacular secluded spot, making that particular excursion an unforgettable part of our trip. Both gentlemen were incredibly helpful and exemplified the property's dedication to personalized guest experiences. While the service and ambiance in the restaurant were exemplary, it is with regret that I must note a s
