Carrington, undoubtedly New Zealand’s newest and most comprehensive resort, is situated on the Karikari Peninsula, a beautiful coastal stretch of New Zealand’s sub tropical north. It is centred on the magnificent 3000 acre property of Carrington Farms, a Black Angus stud farm. The farm rests between 4 kilometres of our own private white sand beach, 900 acres of restored natural wetlands and the hill-side vineyards of New Zealand’s northernmost winery, Karikari Estate.
Carrington provides both Lodge and Villa accommodation. Lodge accommodation includes ten spacious, air conditioned bedrooms. Each Lodge room opens onto a wide veranda with views to the ocean, golf course and vineyard. The Lodge connects by veranda walkways to the Clubhouse, library, dining room, guest lounge and bar. The Villas offer self contained, luxuriously appointed accommodation with two double bedrooms, one single bedroom and two and a half bathrooms. Each villa has a fireplace, satellite TV, air conditioning, security systems and private garage. Porches on the first and second floors look out over the 15th fairway to Karikari Beach.
As well as the 18-hole ocean side tournament quality golf course, Carrington has championship tennis courts, a heated infinity swimming pool with ocean views, billiards room, an Olympic style skeet & trap field with certified instructor, equestrian activity and canoes. Bird watching around the restored wetlands is a popular attraction with guests. The waters of the Far North offer some of New Zealand’s best game and land based fishing. Carrington arranges fishing expeditions with experienced local captains.
All amenities including the beach are accessible by club car. A tunnel under Maitai Bay road gives club cars access to Karikari Estate vineyard and winery for tastings.
