Another option for the prize winner is The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, a luxury lodge beyond compare in Hawke's Bay wine country, set atop a 6000-acre sheep and cattle farm along cliffs that plunge dramatically to the sea with 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean on the horizon. The lodge channels a rustic farm building from the exterior, while inside dining and living areas and luxury lodge accommodation are truly "farm luxe" at its best! The Farm also features an award winning Tom Doak designed golf course that is currently rated #17 in the revered US Golf Digest World's Top 100 Golf Courses. Combine this with a lovely spa and plenty of walking trails and wildlife tour options and there is little reason to leave this stunning property. Both lodges host a range of special interest weekends as part of the Winter Events Series.
* The winner may redeem the prize between May 1, 2018 and September 30, 2018, excluding public holidays.
