Nice views over the golf course and the sea. A really good golf course. All in all perfect conditions to create a five star resort. But unfortunately it is closer to a... More

This resort is attached to a winery and a golf course. The rooms are fine and the golf course is wonderful, especially as there is a lot of native fauna to negotiate. However this resort lets itself down by the very limited selection in the dining room. For a restaurant positioned in sight of the sea I was startled to... More

Spacious rooms & friendly staff. Had the pool to ourselves. Lovely restaurant where the chef prepared a separate menu the second night so there was no risk of having to eat the same food again (vegetarian diet). Very considerate! 1 minute drive from the attached Karikari estate vineyard where they do a great lunch and excellently priced wines. The wrap-around... More

This is a special place almost at the end of the Karikari peninsular consisting of a hotel complex, 10 villas, a 18 hole golf course and a winery. Very impressing is the panorama view of a very beautiful scenery. Quiet and pleasant. The hotel complex consists of three buildings: Reception and shop, a building with lodge rooms and another with... More

This was our third visit this time for wedding anniversary and a birthday. Facilities were good with a swim in the sea a highlight. Restaurant was ok, but the menu was quite limited and with few people staying there it felt strange.
