While The Farm at Cape Kidnappers is a fully functional farm it is stylish and comfortable and you can expect luxury in the midst of these rugged surrounds. It’s situated on 6000-acres of green pastures right on the edge of the sea, where the best of two magical worlds collide.

The opulent interiors and architecture of the buildings emulate the landscape and feature eye-catching touches od weathered wood, stone and more modern furniture pieces to bring it into the present day and age.

The 24 cottage suites are quaint and opulent and showcase complimentary mini bars, heated towel rails and large bathtubs. A private patio offers scenic views of the dramatic golf courses, the majestic Pacific and the manicured greenery of the farm, tended to so carefully by the sheep who find their home there.

There’s a Tom Doak designed golf course for those with a bit more energy while the heated infinity pools are inviting and relaxing, and offer the best vantage points for taking in the scenery.

There’s also a spa and library for those who want to stay sedentary while they relax and the delicious cuisine tastes even better when enjoyed outdoors or in a private setting.

The Hawke’s bay region is famous for its top quality wines, and lies along the East coast of North Island. It is a 100-kilometer bay in the shape of a semi-circle that encompasses natural splendor: mountainous coastal territory, the Wairoa River floodplains and the Heretanga plains. It’s historical too, and it has been renowned for its beauty since 1858.

Hawke’s bay features the best kind of climate and geography for orchard and grape growing. You can expect fairly cool winters and warm summers, which is just the right temperature for growing delicious grapes for great vintages- especially reds. Sheep and cattle farming is also popular in the area.
