Set atop the windswept cliffs of New Zealand’s North Island, Rosewood Cape Kidnappers invites you into a world where wild beauty and refined luxury converge. 

This breathtaking 6,000-acre peninsula estate, nestled within the historic Hawke's Bay wine region, boasts sprawling ocean views, an award-winning and remarkable golf course designed by Tom Doak, and extras such as a beautiful garden, an outdoor swimming pool, and a spa, along tranquil countryside charm. 

With deep roots in Māori heritage, the cape – known in Māori as Te Kauwae-a-Māui – was named by Captain Cook after a dramatic encounter between his crew and local Māori. Today, the region is celebrated for its thriving vineyards, lush landscapes, and a sanctuary dedicated to preserving New Zealand's rare native birdlife.

The Rosewood resort sits harmoniously within these surroundings, offering exclusive experiences for every type of traveller. The suites, designed with a farmhouse aesthetic, offer luxurious touches like heated bathroom floors and private ocean-view balconies. The country-chic suites also have flat-screens, free Wi-Fi and mini-fridges, as well as DVD players and iPod docks. Free perks for guests also include parking and a delicious cooked breakfast to pair with tea or coffee – which includes buffet, continental and Full English/Irish options – every morning while you take in the impressive natural landscape. 

What’s more, while peace surrounds you, adventure also beckons just beyond your door – whether it’s a round on the acclaimed 18-hole golf course, hiking trails through scenic cliffs, or nature walks within Cape Sanctuary, with some experiences exclusively offered by this luxury property.

After days spent exploring, retreat to the spa, unwind by the infinity pool, or savour delicious European cuisine at the on-site restaurant, which you can pair with wine from the property’s private cellar. 

Overall, this is truly a place to embrace nature’s grandeur while indulging in New Zealand’s world-renowned hospitality, and where every moment feels at once thrilling and profoundly restful. A stay you won’t forget, for all the good reasons.
