The Farm, located on the North Island in Hawke’s Bay

one of New Zealand’s most significant wine districts, opened in November 2007 and is living up to all expectations in delivering a true five star experience. The Cape Kidnappers estate is set on a 5,000-acre sheep and cattle farm which rolls along cliffs that plunge dramatically to the sea and includes the internationally acclaimed and challenging par 72 golf course. On the exterior, the lodge resembles a cluster of farm buildings, designed to blend with the rustic feel of the area. Spacious cottages, each with a breathtaking view, high ceilings, fireplaces and large luxury bathrooms, will fan out from the main building. Graceful French doors lead to large outdoor porches looking out at a stunning 180 degree Pacific panorama.
