BEAUTIFUL ESCAPE IN NEW ZEALAND

Where nature reigns supreme and hospitality is lived as an art form, Rosewood presents a New Zealand collection that redefines travel. Each stop is an immersion, each place, a story. From Kauri Cliffs to Queenstown, via Hawke’s Bay, embark on a journey designed for lovers of experience and nature.

THREE DESTINATIONS, ONE PROMISE: AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY

At the northern tip of the island, Kauri Cliffs stretches across 2,400 hectares of untamed wilderness: dramatic cliffs plunging into the Pacific Ocean, hidden beaches, and native forests. Here, everything begins gently, with a leisurely lunch and a glass of local wine, and already that feeling of being completely off the grid.

The journey often starts with a walk in the footsteps of the ancients: a passionate guide shares the estate’s history, Māori legends, and the deep roots of this sacred land.

Must-do experiences:

– a helicopter flight over the Waipoua Forest to admire Tāne Mahuta, one of the largest trees in the world, the majestic kauri,
– a kayaking adventure on the Pacific Ocean, weaving between secret coves and deserted beaches,
– a fishing session on the private beach, followed by a barbecue prepared by the chef,
– a hillside golf session, possibly one of the most memorable rounds you’ll ever play.

Further south, perched above Hawke’s Bay, Cape Kidnappers unveils another side of New Zealand: a land of abundance, where days unfold to the rhythm of nature. Here, vineyards ripple in the ocean breeze, and sunsets set the horizon ablaze each evening.

The lodge overlooks a striking landscape. Remote yet warmly inviting, it blends rustic elegance with ultimate comfort. Arriving feels like stepping into a country home tucked between sky and sea, where every detail has been crafted to elevate the moment.

Not to miss:

– a vineyard lunch surrounded by the region’s finest wines,
– a stroll through the town of Napier, an Art Deco gem from the 30s’,
– an immersion in the life of a New Zealand farmer, including a sheep-shearing demonstration,
– a visit to the Cape Sanctuary, where you might spot the iconic Kiwi bird.

Your journey ends in the south of New Zealand, where mountains meet the clouds. In Queenstown, Rosewood Matakauri is a gem nestled on the lake’s edge. Silence is grand here, and the views feel like they’ve been lifted from a dream.

The setting feels surreal: snow-capped peaks, the deep blue lake… everything invites reflection. Inside your suite, comfort is cocooning and the design is quietly luxurious. You come here to unwind, and stay to reconnect.

Highlights of your stay:

– a heli-adventure over glaciers and fjords, complete with a whisky tasting,
– a cycling escape along the Dunstan Trail,
– a thrilling jet boat ride on the crystal-clear waters of the Dart River,
– a horseback ride through the cinematic landscape of Paradise, a name that here, is no exaggeration.
