Forming part of North Island’s Hawke’s Bay, one of New Zealand’s most important wine districts, Cape Kidnappers has a rich history, beginning with its discovery by Captain Cook in 1769. ​

Even the drive up to this place is a bit special! Passing sheep and horses, crossing rivers and streams, it sets the scene for your stay on a sheep farm. But what a farm! The style is pure rural chic-comfy but cool and with witty touches like old tractor seats on the walls, all done in a beautifully understated way. The graciously designed 'Farm' cottages and luxurious Owner's Cottage are created from a combination of stone and weathered wood exteriors, with comfortable, up-to-the-minute furniture inside: perfectly matching the breathtaking panoramic views over some of New Zealand's most dramatic coastline.
