Cape Kidnappers, a stand out beacon of land discovered by Captain James Cook in 1769, is set on a 6,000 acre sheep farm on some of the most dramatic coastline to be found in New Zealand. Cape Kidnappers represents all that is outstanding in the New Zealand Lodge experience stakes.
The Lodge resembles a cluster of farm (ranch) buildings with twenty two cottages plus the ultimate in luxury, the 4 bedroom Owner’s Cottage. All are graciously scaled and full of natural light and unexpected treasures, with breathtaking views as they open to large porches overlooking a stunning Pacific Ocean panorama. Situated on a par 71 Tom Doak designed links style golf course which has been voted 41st best golf course in the world, Cape Kidnappers offers golfers and non golfers alike a luxurious base while exploring the wonders of Hawke’s Bay. Lodge facilities include two dining rooms and a covered loggia featuring a gourmet a la carte menu with private dining and room service available on request. Other rooms within the Lodge include a lounge/living room, library, intimate sitting room, wine cellar tasting room, and a computer room.
