Above Lake Taupo, The Kinloch Manor & Villas occupies a broad estate centred on New Zealand’s only Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course. The manor’s contemporary lodge architecture uses stone, timber and deep-set windows, while villas provide greater privacy across the grounds. Seasonal dining highlights estate-reared and locally sourced produce, and the spa, tennis court, cycling routes and lakeside activities extend the experience beyond the fairways. From the lodge, the volcanic landscapes of the central North Island sit within reach, while the immediate outlook remains defined by rolling terrain and the course’s sculpted greens.
