The Pool at Matakauri Lodge

"The lodge maximizes its scenic surroundings with a number of gorgeous viewing platforms: a large infinity pool (though it is rarely warm enough for swimming), a pretty courtyard with a massive outdoor fireplace next to the dining and lounge area, and the accommodations themselves"

"Treatments in the spa incorporate the scenic vistas to create a soothing experience; guests can also relax in the outdoor heated infinity pool"

"Plump king beds, fireplaces, double showers, whirlpool tubs and breathtaking views give a feeling of romance; the two-person tubs surrounded by sliding windows in the top two units only enhance it"

"The spa, gym and pool are modest, but like the menus and the lobby, size is irrelevant when the service is exceptional"
