Kinloch Manor & Villas  

Perched above Lake Taupo in Kinloch on a 254‑hectare estate, this is a luxury golf lodge with big blue-water views. Home to New Zealand’s only Jack Nicklaus Signature 18‑hole Links course and just steps from The Kinloch Club, it’s a base for lakeside strolls and adventure days. Ideal for guests seeking golf, wilderness activities, and fresh‑water swimming.

Interiors by Virginia Fisher blend lodge warmth with modern lines. Rooms and suites feature vista windows, private patios or terraces, huge log fireplaces, and sensational marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and rainfall showers. Options include Manor suites plus 1‑ and 2‑bedroom residences with an extra den for families or groups.
