The Stone Clad Foyer of the Lodge at Cape Kidnappers at the Southern End of Hawkes Bay
Lodge at Cape Kidnappers, Hawkes Bay Immortalized by a visit from Captain Cook in 1770, the craggy Cape Kidnappers peninsula juts into the Pacific Ocean at the southern end of Hawkes Bay, a leisurely six-hour drive from Auckland on New Zealand’s North Island. The area is the nesting ground for the world’s largest colony of gold-crowned gannets, and Hawkes Bay itself is home to more than 70 wineries and 20 golf courses.
It’s here, perched amid cattle and sheep pastures, that you’ll find the Lodge at Cape Kidnappers, whose sprawling estate includes a renowned 71-par course of its own. The 22 suites, located in the main lodge and on a nearby ridge line and hilltop, are bright and airy, most with balconies that look out to the sea, for families, the four bedroom owner’s cottage makes an ideal country roost. Meals at the lodge focus on local lamb and beef, while the spa uses fresh local produce like lavender and warmed stones from Hawkes Bay. Explore the property by four-wheel drive or quad bike, or simply take a stroll through the bushland, stopping for a picnic lunch at Waimarama beach along the way.
