My wife and I stayed at this hotel in February 2012 for a few days. We bothy thought it was a gorgeous hotel with excellent facilities - swimming pool, magnificent golf course, restaurant, tennis courts, beautiful views and nearby winery also with restaurant. We just loved our stay here. The only negative thing we could find to say is that... More

We stayed at the Carrington resort for a Wedding recently. The location is epically beautiful and the villas were lovely. The food and wine served at the resort was sublime. The only qualm I have is that the staff were not quite as knowledgeable and proactive as you might expect froma five star resort. Aside from that I would totally... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. Room not ready on arrival late in the day despite resort only having 3 rooms booked for the night, complimentary drink as an apology for the delay. Room very clean except for the drinking glasses which both still bore the lipstick of the last guest. Staff very friendly. Food at restaurant fabulous but limited menu... More

We spent two days here at the resort and the location as well as the facility are outstanding. The golf course, grounds, rooms and nearby beach are all five star. However, the restaurant has a very limited menu (four main items for dinner), and as such, this is not a place to stay for very long as the next closest... More

my husband and I stayed for 7 days over christmas period, we had the best room which had fantastic views over the golf course and to the ocean and was a 1 minute boardwalk to the restaurant. The staff were all very helpful and the rooms spotlessly clean. Overall all due to the remoteness of the hotel and as non... More

Stayed in a Self contained 3brm Villa overlooking the Golf Course for 1 night. Curious setup with the Hotel facilities a small distance away requiring a short car ride to access. Old fashioned TV and no TV at all in the main bedroom. Otherwise all good but probably a bit expensive. The staff try hard, but because of the location,... More

My wife and I stayed at the resort for three nights; it was a nice setting with fantastic views. The staff was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The food was lovely but the menu was limited. If you are a business man and need to keep in touch with the world the internet service was poor. That... More

We took the opportunity to escape to Carrington Resort. What a great choice this was. We arrived very late past midnight and the staff were there quickly and showed us to our room. In the morning the scenery was breathtaking. What a location. Beach nearby, and a stunning Golf Course in front of us. Played and had a great round... More

Even in the pouring rain you could see how beautiful the view would be from Carrington on a good day: the lodge looks out to the sand dunes, inlet and white sands of Karikari beach and I imagine the walk to the beach would be fantastic. Our lodge room was large, comfortable ad well appointed if a bit soul-less. Staff... More
