We enjoyed a very comfortable stay, wonderful food at Carrington Restaurant over two nights, very welcoming staff ( shout out to Camille, Phoenix and Jo) good facilities and great tv choice. Would like to stay again when we return to the KariKari Coast.
The house had a very good facilities and was very comfortable. The outstanding view made it a magical place to stay. We really enjoyed it and it was good to be able to go to the restaurant in the evening when we arrived. The staff were helpful and courteous And we had a very good stay.

This property was in a gorgeous location however it seemed a little tired in spots. Staff are very helpful. Food was good and our room was very spacious.
Lovely place but whilst food was delicious prices in the bar and restaurant are well over priced for what you get. Nice fish and chips down the road which is way cheaper to eat.

Comfortable stay
Beautiful spot
Good food
The gardens are in disrepair unfortunately which is disappointing
Room was huge and very clean
The superior room is a Quiet place with awesome views for couples and if you do not mind sharing the bed with one child, the room suits you too. The staff is very nice and friendly and will handle your requests. Book a dinner table in advance; otherwise, eating in the bar is a good choice.
Beautiful place. Room was amazing. Bathroom could have done with an update . But who sleeps in a bath 😂 . We had a meal at here and it was amazing I had belly pork and my husband has the steak. We ordered a bottle of wine that was $42 only to find out it was $27 in the mini bar . The bed was comfortable.and the staff where amazing and so nice fully recommended
Clearly a very unique property, that definitely would have been in its hay day incredible. Situated amongst an amazing gold course with incredible views, set in large grounds, with swimming pool, spa and tennis court, plus a winery to boot.
Sadly you can see the property exterior/gardens/maintenance slowly deteriorating. The rooms are huge, very clean, and a little dated as well.
Restaurant for dinner (being a public holiday) was really good.
Great staff, very friendly and definitely a must stay, see and do as there are so many activities available also.

Disappointing
Room was comfortable and clean. Maybe needed some touch up paint.
Staff were extremely cordial, just loved them
Food was mediocre at best, steak not cooked as requested- asked for medium rare steak and it was way overcooked.
Eggs for breakfast weren’t cooked as requested, by the gentleman working in the kitchen.
Wine prices in the room or reception were great, we loaded up. Restaurant prices were over twice the price.
Golf course appears to be an afterthought, bald greens, unkemp bunkers.

The property is in a stunning location. The villas are in a run down condition with power points that don't work and when I arrived I had to fix the blinds that noone had maintained. Worse was the state of the water which was literally brown, both hot and cold and wasn't safe to drink and dried out the skin after a shower. The swimming pool was cold. When we called reception it took about 5 minutes for an answer and sometimes there was no answer in the late afternoons. The breakfasts were unaffordable.
Awesome venue. Great outlook. Close to heachs and lots to do
