Rosewood Cape Kidnappers offers an exquisite escape set atop 6,000 rolling acres of spectacular pastureland in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, providing breathtaking 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean. This luxury lodge blends into its dramatic cliffside surroundings, with its buildings designed to resemble a sophisticated working farm, combining rustic charm with comfortable modern elegance. The property functions as both a thriving sheep and cattle station and a dedicated wildlife sanctuary, fostering a unique atmosphere of serene untouched beauty and purposeful conservation. A truly distinguishing feature is its acclaimed Par 71, 18-hole golf course, designed by Tom Doak and consistently ranked among the world's finest.
Guests can choose from 22 beautifully appointed suites or a spacious four-bedroom villa, each offering panoramic views, generous layouts, and private balconies. Suites are thoughtfully decorated with farmstay accents, featuring luxury bathrooms, twin vanities, soaking bathtubs, and cosy fireplaces in many. Culinary experiences, led by Head Chef James Honore, highlight seasonal local produce, much of it sourced directly from the lodge's own garden, with daily pre-dinner drinks, canapés, and dinner included. Furthermore, the lodge boasts a boutique spa with three treatment rooms, including a couple's suite, a 24-hour fitness centre, and a stunning outdoor infinity pool overlooking the estate and ocean.
This remarkable destination caters splendidly to those seeking romantic getaways, family adventures, or honeymoons. It is particularly appealing for golf enthusiasts, keen adventurers, and connoisseurs of fine wine, given its location in a renowned wine region. Guests can immerse themselves in a diverse array of activities, from guided farm tours and exhilarating ATV Can-Am adventures to horseback riding, nature walks, and exclusive Kiwi Discovery Walks within the wildlife sanctuary. Rosewood Cape Kidnappers offers an enriching, all-season escape that invites a profound connection with New Zealand's spectacular natural environment.
