Summerlee Hawke’s Bay

Situated in Te Awanga, Cape Kidnappers, Hawke’s Bay, Summerlee is a beautiful NZ luxury private villa on the doorstep of the 5500-acre station that is home to the famous Cape Kidnappers Golf Course; one of the world’s best.

At the end of a sweeping, oak-lined driveway; an easy twenty-five minute drive from Hawke’s Bay’s Napier airport, Summerlee is one of New Zealand’s most charming luxury retreats.  This magnificent villa is set on a secluded 10-acre property in the middle of beautifully manicured gardens offering you spectacular coastal views of the sweeping Hawke’s Bay coastline.

The original homestead of Cape Kidnappers Station has been splendidly restored to provide many beautiful yet functional spaces for you to enjoy.  On the ground floor, you will find the kitchen, scullery and seating area and a spacious open living and dining room with a fireplace to maintain a cosy ambience.  There is also a separate study offering the perfect spot to play a game of cards or chess.  One of the eight bedrooms is also on this lower level, whilst the other seven bedrooms are situated upstairs on the first floor.

The expansive landscape of this NZ luxury private villa encompasses a tennis court, a large petanque court, a separate swimming pool and pool house area, spa pool, croquet and a highly appointed outdoor room, so you are guaranteed plenty of opportunity to play outdoors and enjoy the warm climate of Hawke’s Bay.

For those hoping to get out and explore, you can enjoy the many activities available in Hawke’s Bay, including golf courses, fishing excursions, cycling trails, hot air ballooning, hiking trails and of course the local wineries before returning to your own private paradise, to retreat from the world in this private luxury accommodation with unrivalled charm and character.  Summerlee really does tick all of the boxes, and is a very popular home, but be warned, you may never want to leave!

Please note one bathroom is located in the pool house.
