Our View
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, it's all done in a
beautifully understated way, to be just right. It's very welcoming,
peaceful and surprisingly luxurious, especially the lovely spa.
Don't forget, there's also a big wide world beyond the walls,
which includes one of the world's top golf courses, too.

beginning with its discovery by Captain Cook in 1769.
Set on a 6,000 acre sheep farm on some of the most dramatic
coastline in New Zealand, you'll find 'Farm' cottages, plus the

dramatic ocean.
Situated on a par 71, Tom Doak-designed golf course, Cape
Kidnappers also offers a stunning 50ft heated infinity pool,
