Texas-based Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has entered New Zealand with the addition of Robertson Lodges, a collection of three resorts.

These properties, which consist of Rosewood Kauri Cliffs, Rosewood Cape Kidnappers and Rosewood Matakauri, will become part of the Rosewood portfolio starting December 1, 2023.

Rosewood Hotel Group CEO Sonia Cheng said: “New Zealand's inspiring natural beauty and warm hospitality have truly captivated us and we are thrilled to embark on this remarkable journey with Robertson Lodges.

“It is with great respect and admiration that we seek to honour the Robertson family’s original vision by further elevating the guest experience offered at each resort with Rosewood’s singular approach to ultra-luxury hospitality.”

This new addition marks the company’s entry into the Oceania region.

Rosewood Hotel Group aims to maintain the service style of the resorts while enforcing the brand's attentive service and immersive experiences.

In 2001, the three resorts were founded by philanthropists Julian and Josie Robertson.

Rosewood Kauri Cliffs, situated within a 6,000-acre coastal estate close to the Bay of Islands, offers 26 rooms and suites, a dining outlet, a fitness facility and a spa.

The resort’s premises provide access to three private beaches, sheep and cattle farms, a native forest and a golf course.

Located in Hawke’s Bay on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, Rosewood Cape Kidnappers features 24 rooms and suites, spa services, a dining outpost and an infinity pool.

The resort also boasts a golf course designed by golf course architect Tom Doak and a wildlife restoration project called Cape Sanctuary.

Rosewood Matakauri is situated in Queenstown, on the South Island of New Zealand.

It has 13 rooms, a dining outlet, a spa, wellness facilities and an outdoor pool.

Currently, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts operates a global portfolio of 31 luxury hotels, resorts and residences across 18 countries.
