What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

.

It was named the best hotel in New Zealand for a reason. Set on 6,500 acres, the hotel enjoys spectacular views of the Matauri Bay Cliffs and the Pacific Ocean from its luxurious plantation-style lodge. While the hotel is beautiful in every respect, its the championship golf course that brings in celebrities like Bill Gates. The hotel is stocked to the brim with leisure activities and has a distinctively Kiwi feel that'll give you a chance to experience the best of New Zealand.
