The Kinloch Manor & Villas
When you stay at The Kinloch Manor & Villas, one thing’s for sure: You’re in for a wild time. It’s all about nature at this 18-room uberluxe lodge, set within the grounds of The Kinloch Club golf course on Lake Taupo (New Zealand’s largest lake). You can go sailing and white-water rafting, cast a line for some of the world’s best trout fishing, tramp to geothermal pools in UNESCO-designated Tongariro National Park, and tackle Jack Nicklaus’ only signature golf course in the country. Return for a manuka honey spa treatment and estate-to-plate cuisine prepared with delicious artistry.

Sustainability
Our Commitment
The Lodge and standalone villas (20) are 'quiet' in design, adhering to ‘modern design’ and Eco philosophies. Carbon neutral fireplaces, natural building products of solid woods – low emission and chemical use, local stone, natural fibers used in furnishings with 100% wool handmade - finished with authentic New Zealand (plus 1 x Picasso!) original and indigenous - valuable artworks.
And importantly the restaurant uses near 100% pesticide and organic produce (where appropriate), with farm and garden reared produce of their own, plus the private 2,000 ha nearby owner’s property that adheres to the ‘Estate to Plate’ dining philosophy - of course matched with New Zealand and the world’s best wines.
Guests are encouraged to try Kinloch’s own garden produce, being able to respectfully pick what they wish to taste. Menus include, own Manuka honey from lodge aviaries producing wild native comb honey of exceptional flavour, heritage varieties of indigenous and seasonal vegetables; native spinach (tetragonia), kumara, fresh turmeric, wasabi, native cress, plus sister estate or regionally sourced reared wild deer; red, fallow, sika, wapiti (elk) and water buffalo, wild pig, sheep, rabbit, pheasant, partridge, geese, duck, rainbow, and brown trout.
