Rosewood Cape Kidnappers

Rustic hilltop farmstay.

Located east of Hawke’s Bay wine country, Rosewood Cape Kidnappers sits atop rolling hills and rugged cliffs that give way to vast sea views. The rustic hotel is located on New Zealand’s north island and doubles as a functioning 6,000-acre sheep and cattle farm.

Insider Tip

Venture through an old creek bed, across expansive farmland and down to historic Rangaika Beach.
