Rosewood Cape Kidnappers

內皮爾這個城市並不在我們的行程計劃裏，我們是專程來體驗附近的枴子角瑰麗度假酒店，也是在新西蘭體驗的第二家瑰麗酒店。酒店坐落在佔地6000英畝的壯麗牧場中，俯瞰霍克斯灣枴子角，風景如畫。酒店以農場觀光、自然徒步和高爾夫等目的地體驗而享負盛名，我們選擇了風景絕佳的5號徒步路線，酒店會配備GPS，如果返程想節省時間，酒店暖心地提供車接服務。晚餐出品佳，定單包含的晚餐為點餐形式，含餐前兩杯飲料及小吃，如果選擇tasting menu則需額外收費，這和瑪塔考瑞瑰麗度假酒店tasting menu無需額外加錢有所不同。酒店整體服務在線，特別點贊客服中國香港姑娘CK，其專業温暖、親切友善給我們留下深刻印象，她對我們各種細緻入微地照顧和感同身受，讓我們擁有了一次非常美好的體驗。

Beautiful location with poor service and low standards. We approached our stay at Rosewood Cape Kidnappers with true enthusiasm as we were confident with it being a Rosewood property, the service would be up to the standards a 5 star hotel would have. We have stayed at many Rosewood properties over the years and we are so disappointed with our experience at Cape Kidnappers. The service was well below acceptable. While the staff was nice and polite, they missed the mark on so many instances. I had to request cleaning supplies for my entire 3 day stay for the fitness center. Not once was my request fulfilled and upon visiting the front desk for a 3rd day in a row the front desk employee said she requested supplies 4 times that day. I asked for the staff to turn on the AC in the gym 3 days in a row with no success. I made a request for extra washcloths the first evening we arrived. It took 3 requests and 2 days to fulfill that request. We were struggling with the meals specifically dinner. I met only the final day with the food and beverage manager and asked him what the best plan was. I mentioned we would be happy to give him our order well in advance and he would therefore be able to have the food coursed out and served in a timely manner. He was quite happy with that idea and I gave him the order by 4 pm that day (he requested by 6 pm) Dinner was unacceptable in terms of timing. We sat there for over 2 hours and the food was incredibly slow. I made it very clear that my husband eats a lot of food and he said not to worry he will make a note to give him larger portions of food. His salmon came out and it was a 2 inch piece of salmon. The F&b manager was so busy we didn’t even have an opportunity to tell him how unacceptable it was. The staff is quite aware of all of the issues we had. They even overcharged us for a meal and sent a follow up email to give us a credit. Rosewood properties would be quite disappointed if they saw how dysfunctional the hotel was operating. Unfortunately we will not be coming back to Cape Kidnappers. Rosewood owes its brand a higher level of standard and should pay attention to what is going on and make it right for its (future) customers. Until then, I would recommend staying far away.

If you ever get a chance to visit The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, do not hesitate. The property is absolutely stunning. Perched atop the cliffs, you feel immediately relaxed, immersed in nature, and in constant awe of the views surrounding you. The lodge itself is luxurious, and every single detail has been thought out. The staff are impeccable and make you feel like family. The all inclusive meals were delicious and rival anything I've had at the best restaurants in New Zealand. If you enjoy wine tasting, and golf - this is the perfect getaway for you. The golf course is one of the best in the world and meticulously maintained. And right on the property. Non-golfers have plenty to keep them busy with other activities and tours. There are tons of wineries in the area that are easy to get to and the wines are world class. My husband and I cannot wait to come back.
