ONE OF THE GREATEST PLACES IN THE WORLD!

One of the greatest places we have ever seen, unbelievable spectacular and unspoiled landscape, outstanding golf course, wonderful spacious, charming but also stylish furnished villas, top-top service, wonderful helpful and super friendly team with Adrian, John, Michael and all the others of the team.....even if we had to leave under very sad circumstances due to Corona Virus and although it is a very long trip from Germany: WE MUST AND WILL COME BACK!!!

Perfection.

I have never felt so comfortable and yet so pampered at a property anywhere. Approachable and friendly staff, impeccable service, wonderful food, amazing views. Rooms are thoughtfully designed, quiet, peaceful and luxurious. Highly recommend staying on a Tuesday night in the summer when you can take advantage of the BBQ on the pink sand beach. Truly the highlight of our trip. Property has 6,000 acres and many walking/hiking trails of moderate difficulty. We spent three days hiking and could have stayed one or two more if we added a helicopter or farm tour. Recommend minimum 4 nights' stay to fully enjoy this property. We drove from Auckland, but flight to local airport reportedly easy by other guests. If you do drive, make sure to go to Honey House Cafe or Plough & Feather in Kerikeri located in one of the most picturesque spots nearby. Robertson Lodge properties were the best of our visit to New Zealand. Don't hesitate to stay at one or all of them. Thanks to the staff for making our 25th anniversary trip so special and one we will never forget!

Fabulous, top end, lodge

This is a fabulous property. Added to that is a diverse collection of outstanding staff, who simply cannot do enough to make your stay wonderful. The lodge has its own golf course with spectacular views, as well as a number of walking trails, including two to wonderful beaches. They can also provide bicycles and electric bicycles. Cocktails and canapés are served from 6pm and there is the ability to have dinner either inside the restaurant or on the terrace. The same is true for breakfast. A wide range of dining options includes a signature tasting menu, and a la carte (changes daily). A must is the weekly BBQ on Pink Beach. There is a spa, outdoor and indoor swimming pools and a simple, but very well equipped gym.

Golf course is burnt out from lack of Rain, trying to save Greens and Tee Boxes, but fairways are in my opinion "unsalvageable" (burnt out, crack in turf Like a desert bottom of dried out lake) . Staffing trying hard but to no avail
