About Dunalistair House at The Kinloch Club Golf Course
Owner of Dunalistair House, Alistair Tod embarked on a dream on the news that Jack Nicklaus was to design his only Signature golf course in New Zealand at Kinloch. That dream was to build a luxurious and unique holiday home overlooking the very golf course designed by his childhood hero.
Four years later, the dream was complete, and the doors of Dunalistair House opened, introducing a stunning piece of sophisticated and contemporary architecture. Numerous awards followed for designer Brendon Gordon of Tauranga, and soon after, Dunalistair House obtained the regions top official grading status as the only 5* Holiday Home from Qualmark.
Over the following years, Dunalistair House has welcomed hundreds of distinguished guests from around the world. And those who visit continue to comment on the timeless design of the home.
​
From 2024, Dunalistair House will be available to rent on a limited basis for up to 4 golfers per stay. Please enquire through our contact page for availability.
