And to show our appreciation, we are giving away a fabulous prize to one lucky entrant: two nights' accommodation for two, including daily breakfast and dinner for two plus pre-dinner drinks/canapes at your choice of Kauri Cliffs or Cape Kidnappers luxury lodges.*
The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs and The Farm at Cape Kidnappers are the two Robertson Lodges North Island properties. Both these Relais & Chateaux lodges are in "out of this world" locations and reflect the personal passion of the Robertson family for New Zealand!
The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs is set on 6000 acres near Matauri Bay, Northland. Among countless accolades, Kauri Cliffs has been named the #1 Hotel in the World by Conde Nast Traveller. The lodge offers spectacular panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Cape Brett and the Cavalli Islands. Guest quarters are limited to 22 classic and stylish cottage suites, each with their own private porch and open fireplace. Golfers love the renowned course, with six dramatic cliffside holes. The Spa at Kauri Cliffs is also a knock-out, set amidst a lush totara forest.
Another option for the prize winner is The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, a luxury lodge beyond compare in Hawke's Bay wine country, set atop a 6000-acre sheep and cattle farm along cliffs that plunge dramatically to the sea with 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean on the horizon. The lodge channels a rustic farm building from the exterior, while inside dining and living areas and luxury lodge accommodation are truly "farm luxe" at its best! The Farm also features an award winning Tom Doak designed golf course that is currently rated #17 in the revered US Golf Digest World's Top 100 Golf Courses. Combine this with a lovely spa and plenty of walking trails and wildlife tour options and there is little reason to leave this stunning property. Both lodges host a range of special interest weekends as part of the Winter Events Series.
* The winner may redeem the prize between May 1, 2018 and September 30, 2018, excluding public holidays.
