Fantastic Character House

Perfect for our group of families in HB for an event. Great character house, would be wonderful to have a full weeks holiday here in summer with the grounds and pool.

Very spacious with excellent grounds and hosts. I rated 4 star for cleaning as there was dust on the headboards and a 4 star for listing accuracy as the listing stated air conditioning and a drier which were not there, and a fireplace which we were advised we could not use. However, each room is well equipped with an oil heater and there is a large gas fan heater in the main living room. Once heated, we found the house plenty warm enough. There are ample blankets if required. Overall, the hosts were very accommodating and we found it an amazing place to stay with a large group (9 adults). Would stay there again.

Beautiful, spacious home

An absolutely gorgeous house/property that perfectly suited our large family while we celebrated our parents 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary around Hawkes Bay....and we weren't tripping over each other! Everything was provided from beautiful linen, ample heating, SKY tv (to watch the rugby game) down to the food provided in the fridge for a cooked breakfast. The beds were SO comfy!!!! Accommodation for larger family groups is rare so we very much appreciated that this stately home was available. Thank you so much D and M, for helping make our family trip to Hawkes Bay one to fondly remember. X

Charming, elegant, & spacious Villa with lovely private garden & patio spaces.

Relaxed week long stay in a gracious Villa with lots of old world charm. Large rooms, high ceilings, eclectic mix of beautiful antiques & comfortable modern furnishings. Felt like a home not a hotel.Garden spaces provided both sunny & shady options for outdoor meals or relaxing. Very private. Lovely small pool in a leafy corner.A few kitchen & outdoor furniture items could do with updating or refreshing.Host was very friendly, attentive, and often made themself available to chat.Our family would happily stay here again.

Very beautiful and spacious house and location

If what you're looking for is a large house with space both internally and externally for people to spread out, and also a place with historic interest and grandeur, this is your location. There are 5 bedrooms in the main house, and 2 lounges, one of them quite huge, with a long formal table which we used for playing games mainly. We were there in summer, and the focus of our group was the kitchen at the back, whose windows open on to the the bbq/outdoor dining area with a beautiful pergola, and the swimming pool. The swimming pool was clean, the gated area is really great for hanging out and the kids couldn't get enough of it. The other thing that I really enjoyed about the house is that for a garden and tree lover, there was a lot to appreciate. There are several large oaks and a very old and established Ash with a nice swing installed underneath. Honestly, I can't imagine a much more ideal place for my extended family to stay, and there were very few problems with the stay. The gas ran out for the bbq, but Denis replaced it quickly once we let him know. Thanks again Denis! I hope we get the chance to stay here again in future.

Big enough for a Marching team

Had a great stay with our Marching team of 10 for a weekend compeition. The check in process was a bit clunky but we got there in the end with Denis. Thank you for the stay.

Wonderful Stay

Large house - ideal for extended family / large group, with beautiful gardens in a very tranquil setting, just a short drive from beautiful Havlock North. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and exploring the surrounding area, TeMata Peak, Ocean Beach, Napier and the local vineyards.

Big home in havelock North

Loved the beautiful house, grounds and facilities - needed some dish cloths but otherwise perfect. Would prefer if we didn’t have anyone calling around when we are actually staying there - we like our privacy but otherwise a beautiful home

Family Celebrations

We were a family of 13 adults uniting from world wide locations. This house enabled us all to have our own privacy whilst being together in the remarkable dining /sitting room space which easily accommodated 25 people we had for a birthday feast. The younger ones braved the swimming pool whilst us older members enjoyed the beautiful grounds. A very special time.

Great house for long weekend

This property was perfect for what we needed, especially the pool for recovery for the players after a day at tournament. Our volunteer chefs were able to use the kitchen and BBQ to provide food for the team.

Stunning House and Garden

Our family met for Christmas at this wonderful property. It was spacious, clean, comfortable everything we needed and all in a beautiful setting. The children loved the swimming pool, the croquet and pétanque while the adults enjoyed the peace and space to catch up together. We would highly recommend this property. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home for others to enjoy.

Amazing place!

This property was just beautiful, perfect space for a bigger group. The gardens were stunning and all the details in the home were immaculate. Caters well to a large group because there was lots of room for everyone. Well located for a hawkes bay holiday! We would love to stay here again if we have the chance.

A lovely big home very close to the shops, peaceful, private and a gorgeous swimming pool. Loved the gardens and a joy to see rabbits running around the lawn when we came home after going to restaurants. Our group enjoyed the home very much. Thank you so much. Would love to come back some time. Maybe the same time next year with a few less people.
