Robertson Lodges is pleased to announce the internal promotion of Fiona Winger as the new General Manager of The Farm at Cape Kidnappers. Fiona has been the lodge manager at Robertson Lodges' sister property, Matakauri Lodge in Queenstown, for the past two years, and her exceptional leadership has been recognized with this well-deserved promotion.

Fiona is a native of New Zealand and brings a wealth of experience to her new role, having previously worked in Fiji as the resort manager of the Six Senses Fiji, as Director of Operations at the Sheraton Resort and Spa on Tokoriki Island, and as Taskforce Director of Weddings and Conventions at the Marriott International Fiji Complex.

She has an innate understanding of our guests' needs and our brand. Her passion for the industry and ability to provide unforgettable experiences for our guests make her the perfect fit for this role. We're committed to investing in our talent and fostering a culture of growth and development at Robertson Lodges, and we're excited to see Fiona thrive in her new position."

Fiona is equally thrilled about her new role, stating, "I am honored to have been given this opportunity to lead the exceptional team at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers and grateful to Robertson Lodges for investing in my growth and development. The awe-inspiring views of the rolling hills and rugged cliffs of Hawke's Bay's formidable wine region combined with the lodge's award-winning golf course, promise many exciting moments. I look forward to working with the team to continue to elevate the property, along with The Robertson Lodge brand to exceed our guests' expectations."

The Farm at Cape Kidnappers is one of the Relais & Chateaux properties owned by Robertson Lodges, which also includes The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs in the Northland and Matakauri Lodge in Queenstown.
