The Farm at Cape Kidnappers
The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, a stand out beacon of land discovered by Captain James Cook in 1769, is set on a 6,000 acre sheep farm on some of the most dramatic coastline to be found in New Zealand. Cape Kidnappers represents all that is outstanding in the New Zealand Lodge experience stakes.
The Lodge & Golf Course at Cape Kidnappers, known as ‘The Farm’ is set on a 6,000 acre sheep and cattle farm which encompasses land reminiscent of the American West, but plunges 800 feet into the sea. Cape Kidnappers is the sister property of the internationally acclaimed resort Kauri Cliffs. The spectacular Tom Doak designed Golf Course is ranked 41 in the world.
On the exterior, the lodge resembles a cluster of farm buildings, whilst on the interior guests will find graciously scaled rooms full of natural light and unexpected treasures. Comfort and ease are at a premium with each room taking on a character of its own while harkening back to the rural feeling of the New Zealand sheep station. Spacious cottages, each with breathtaking views, open to large porches overlooking a stunning Pacific panorama.
The lodge offers two dining rooms and a covered loggia. Other rooms within the lodge include a lounge-living room, library, intimate sitting rooms, and wine cellar.
