The Farm at Cape Kidnappers
Rustic luxury in Hawke’s Bay
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience goes beyond how your surroundings look — how your visit makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in 1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star
These are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.
Four-Star

Soon To Be Rated
As our highly trained, incognito inspectors work to assess properties, our editors check them out ahead of time and provide a sneak preview of what to expect.
Perched
in the heart of New Zealand wine country, The Farm at Cape Kidnappers
seamlessly blends rustic and luxury, offering just 22 suites and a four-bedroom
Owner’s cottage spread
across 6,000 acres along the Hawke’s
Bay coastline. Sister property to Kauri Cliffs and Matakauri Lodge, “The Farm”
(as it’s affectionately known) offers guests spacious accommodations, each
featuring private balconies, walk-in closets and sitting areas. Many also boast
panoramic views, either of the property’s working sheep farm, the Tom
Doak-designed golf course or the bay.
If
you feel like exploring the outdoors, take in a round, explore the property by bicycle
or four-wheel drive or visit more than 50 wineries within an hour’s drive. Of
course, if it’s shaping up to be a day where you’ll be inside, you can make
your way to The Spa at Cape Kidnappers for a massage or to the Main Dining Room
for a memorable meal.
