A Luxury Stay at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, Hawke’s Bay

Intro:
The Farm at Cape Kidnappers is more than just a lodge; it is a 6,000-acre sanctuary perched atop the dramatic cliffs of Hawke’s Bay. Whether visiting for a signature culinary event or a quiet retreat, the experience is defined by spectacular Pacific Ocean views, world-class service, and an effortless blend of rustic charm and refined luxury.

The Lodge Experience
On arrival, guests are welcomed into a space that feels like a sophisticated home. The lodge facilities are extensive, featuring a state-of-the-art gym, a quiet library, an impressive wine cellar, and a world-class restaurant. The Lodge Suites are spacious and thoughtfully designed, offering private balconies with sweeping views over the estate and the ocean beyond.

Activities & Wellness
The property offers a variety of ways to immerse yourself in the landscape:

• Walking Trails: The famous Lavender Walk weaves through fragrant fields and out to the cliff edge for breathtaking coastal views.
• The Spa: A range of treatments, including 50-minute massages, are available to help guests unwind after a day of exploration.
• Pre-Dinner Tradition: A hallmark of the Cape Kidnappers experience is the nightly pre-dinner cocktails and canapés, where guests gather to enjoy local flavors and premium New Zealand wines.

World-Class Dining
Dining at Cape Kidnappers is a celebration of local Hawke’s Bay produce. The lodge frequently hosts specialized culinary events, such as champagne pairing dinners featuring prestigious labels like Louis Roederer. With menus that change nightly to reflect the season, the culinary team ensures every meal—from the duck liver parfait to locally sourced quail—is impeccable.

Championship Golf
The Cape Kidnappers golf course is a marvel of modern design. Even for non-golfers, a tour of the course via golf cart is highly recommended to take in the dramatic “fingers” of land that jut out into the sea. For those looking to play, the professional team at the clubhouse is on hand to provide expert guidance and equipment.
