Stunning Infinity Pool

“The infinity pool at Carrington Estate is truly a sight to behold! It offers a perfect blend of relaxation with a hot tub by the side, all while providing amazing views over Northland. I loved spending my afternoons lounging here after a long day of exploring, soaking in the tranquility and beauty of this wonderful setting.” view full review

Really good Restaurant Experience

“Dining at the Carrington Estate restaurant was a highlight of my stay. I savored the perfectly cooked lamb, which came in a generous portion that left me pleasantly full. The wines are locally sourced from Karikari Estate, complementing the meal beautifully. Although breakfast could use a few more options, my dinner experience was truly really good.” view full review

Fantastic Golf Course

“As an avid golfer, I truly appreciated the 18-hole golf course available at Carrington Estate. The layout is challenging yet enjoyable, and I rented a golf buggy to navigate throughout the course easily. It was a lovely way to spend my mornings, and even hired a few sets of clubs while I was there.” view full review

Spacious and Comfortable Lodging

“My room in the lodge was not only spacious, but it also had beautiful decor featuring Maori flax bags that added a unique touch. The big shower had great eco-friendly products and was very comfortable. I appreciated the attention to detail, such as the mosquito repellant wipes, making my stay even more pleasant.” view full review

My stay at this resort was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, which made for a comfortable experience. I especially appreciated the panoramic views over the golf course and water, which added a lovely touch. However, I did notice that the rooms could use some maintenance, especially considering the price I paid. The dining options weren't the best, but it was still a pleasant getaway.

I had a lovely experience at this resort spa, with spacious and comfortable rooms that made my stay enjoyable. The service was attentive, especially during a storm, which really made me feel cared for. The location was stunning, offering beautiful views and easy access to nearby beaches, although it could be a bit challenging to navigate. The dining was good but could benefit from more variety, and while the amenities were nice, some felt a little underwhelming considering the spa's potential.
