The Coastal Cliffs Hideaway. Part of the collection of remarkable destinations at Rosewood.

Set on 6,000 acres in the Bay of Islands, Northland, Rosewood Kauri Cliffs rests on an unspoiled coastline where high cliffs nestle into three pristine private beaches. The cliffside retreat offers breathtaking vistas of Cape Brett and Cavalli Islands, a David Harman-designed championship golf course and a spa sanctuary hidden within a native forest.
