The lodge, or "The Farm" as it is called, is truly a five-star plus experience. It is set on a 6,000-acre sheep and cattle farm. On the exterior, it resembles a cluster of farm buildings. Local materials are incorporated into graciously scaled rooms full of light. Spacious cottages, each with breathtaking views, open to large porches overlooking stunning Pacific Ocean panoramic views.

The lodge offers two dining rooms and a covered loggia featuring a gourmet table d’hote menu. Other rooms within the lodge include a lounge/living room, library, intimate sitting room, wine-cellar tasting room and a computer room. A lavishly equipped spa and outdoor 50-foot heated pool complete the picture.

The magnificent golf course, which meanders through the forests and lowlands, is ranked in the world's top 50 and the splendid plantation lodge is surrounded by cottages nestled in forest. The effect of Kauri Cliffs is one of space and simple luxury in a far corner of the world.

The cottages are nestled on the edge of native forest over looking the ocean and golf course and have been designed to offer the same stunning 180-degree vista as the main lodge. Every suite consists of its own private veranda, comfortable bedroom with sitting area, open fireplace, walk-in wardrobe and spacious bathroom.
