The Lodge at Kinloch Club is an encompassing luxury experience set in the tranquil 254ha grounds of the Kinloch Club, a Jack Nicklaus designed world-class championship Par 72 golf course (Ranked as New Zealand’s number one golf course in 2014) on the shores of the extraordinarily beautiful Lake Taupo, New Zealand’s largest fresh-water lake and scenic hub of the North Island. The Lodge features impeccable services, world class accommodations and modern amenities amidst the natural beauty of rugged rural farmland. This modern uber-luxury Lodge has been designed to emulate a version of the Kinloch region namesake Scottish castle, but with a truly modern 21st century design concept by one of New Zealand’s best internationally known and multi-award winning architect Andrew Patterson. The Lodge interiors have been masterfully designed by Virginia Fisher who is renowned for her work involving luxury lodges and hotels both in New Zealand and around the world.
Epitomizing the synergy between exquisite design and simple function with sophisticated detailing as evident at The Main Lodge, with local schist stone exteriors featuring dramatic framed vistas showcasing sensational views of the golf course and the ever changing Lake Taupo. A commanding gangway entrance to the lodge leads to the lush central courtyard with outdoor fireplace and reflecting pool on guest arrival with the friendliest of welcome from the professional yet forthcoming warm staff. Arriving in the Great Room, a baronial feel of lush decadent textures of velvet, fox fur, brass and copper which then leads to The Dining Room, a bold but modern calm of whitewash, light and airy with seating of banquettes and lush sofas. The Bar which harks back to a time of leather and rock surfaces, cowhide, goat fur and burnt wood flooring is both masculine and intense. For private dinners or meetings, The Den is regal, soft and warm with silver and golds, slate floors and lush New Zealand designed wool rugs. Sheer opulence under one roof.
