Set in 6,000 acres of rolling pastures, Rosewood Cape Kidnappers' terrain is reminiscent of Montana but plunges 800 feet into the sea at Hawke's Bay.

Every creature comfort has been attended to with a clean, crisp style dominating throughout. For families or groups the Owner's Suite is a private four-bedroom retreat with kitchen, large sitting room, open plan kitchen and private Jacuzzi where you can sit and admire the majestic views from the ridgetop location.

Cape Kidnappers has a stunning 50’ heated infinity pool and Jacuzzi with outstanding views over the farmland and to the sea beyond. After a wonderful day of exploring this fabulous area, having had a tiring game of golf, a quad biking or hiking trip or simply sampling the wide selection of regional wines, return to Cape Kidnappers to the fabulous Spa that is located on the hillside above the Lodge and is guaranteed to relax and rejuvenate in time for tomorrow's adventures.
