The Farm at Cape Kidnappers
Getting there
Set atop 6,000 rolling acres of pasture-land in Hawke’s Bay, the Farm at Cape Kidnappers enjoys panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and New Zealand’s rugged countryside.
- Planes Air New Zealand (www.airnewzealand.co.nz; 13 24 76) operates daily flights from Auckland and Wellington to Napier/Hawke’s Bay Airport (www.hawkesbay-airport.co.nz). There are no international flights direct to Hawke’s Bay so international guests will have to fly via one of New Zealand’s main cities. Auckland Airport is easiest. The Hawke’s Bay Airport is 38kms from the hotel. Airport transfers can be arranged by the hotel for a fee.
- Automobiles The main car hire companies have desks at Hawke’s Bay Airport or taxis are also available (Baywide Taxis 0800 88 55 33, Hastings Taxis 0800 875 055, or Hawke’s Bay Combined Taxis 0800 627 437). A shuttle service can also take you from the airport to the Farm (www.sspershuttle.co.nz; 0800 748 885) but reservations are a must. If you opt to drive from Auckland allow six hours, from Wellington it’s a shorter four hour drive.
- Others Helicopter transfers from Auckland, Wellington and Taupo can be arranged.
