Although beauty is supposedly a subjective notion (in the eye of the beholder, some might say), when it comes to the land of the Kiwis, beauty is objective. It’s on everyone’s unanimous bucket list. The cliffs, the rolling hills, the mountains, the backdrop for The Shire, the Land of The Long White Cloud – it really doesn’t matter what you call it, or which part of New Zealand you’re looking at. It’s all simply majestic.
The Farm at Cape Kidnappers
Perhaps the only thing that is able to make New Zealand even more awe-dropping, however, are the Robertson Lodges. From relaxing on a private beach on the Bay of Islands, and swinging a club on the world-famous golf course at Cape Kidnappers (even if you’re not really a “club-swinger,” this golf course truly lives up to its fame), to taking photos of the breathtaking lakes and mountains of Queenstown, it’s all there at your utter disposal. And from April 1 until October 31 of 2019, Robertson Lodges is offering guests a four-night stay for the price of three, at any of their three luxurious lodges.
Matakauri Lodge
Julian Robertson, billionaire titan and long-time die-hard fan of Aotearoa, founded the three equally beautiful lodges to help you fall in love with the country the way that he once did. The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, located on the Bay of Islands and spread out over 6,000 acres of land, comes with a utopian view of the Pacific Ocean, hikes through the kauri forest at arm’s length, and one of the best sailing scenes of the region. The Farm at Cape Kidnappers comes with a similar set of National Geographic views, but is also surrounded by a wildlife sanctuary, and the Syrah and Chardonnay wine country. And lastly, the Matakauri Lodge, located in Queenstown, puts you right on the banks of Lake Wakatipu, with lakes and mountains at your feet, as well as an infinite access to mountain biking, bungee jumping, helicopter tours, and so much more.
The special offer comes with pre-dinner drinks, a daily gourmet dinner, canapes, a full breakfast every morning, and a complimentary minibar. But that’s all fine print, in comparison.
The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs
If you’re not really a photographer, you are one in New Zealand. If you’re not really a nature person, you become one in New Zealand. If you’re not really a die-hard New Zealand fan, you will certainly become one when you’re there. The Robertson Lodges are just there to make it all that much more spectacular for you.
