The drive up to the manor was hard to manoeuvre in certain areas due to us having a 12 seater transit van. We had alot of wet weather during our stay so had alot of water and debris on the driveway also.In saying that, the manor was exactly what we wanted. It had enough space to accomodate all of us, it was clean, tidy and the grounds and surroundings were very tranquil. The home had everything we needed including pots, pans etc to ensure we could have home cooked meals. The beds were super comfortable and all rooms had spare blankets which we used during the storms. The house had 3 floors but didnt take long to heat up during the cold weather. There were 2 main bathrooms for us to shower in and 2 extra toilets which was very handy. We had an issue with the bottom gate and were able to contact the owner and resolve the issue straight away. Communication was fantastic. I would definately recommend the property and will look at returning next time we are in Wellington.

It was a fantastic venue for a large family gathering. It is lacking a bit of love though. Lots of light bulbs are out - only 4 out of the 9 in the upstairs bathroom are working! The bottom gate was only working sometimes - so had to manually unlock it to open it - which is a problem in the dark.

Magical Mansion

We were completely blown away by the Woodroyd Estate! The winding road to the house transported us to another world. The house is spacious and wonderful to explore. Likewise, the grounds were very entertaining to saunter around. It will definitely be the most memorable home we stayed at during our three week vacation.

Serene getaway

Beautiful home surrounded by nature. Great communication with host. Although it seems isolated, there are neighbors within close proximity therefore must keep music to a minimal. Otherwise great for a quiet getaway.

It's an amazing house in an amazing location, but a bit run down. 1/3 of the lightbulbs in the house were burnt out or missing. The oven didn't work properly. It needed a good clean: there were cobwebs in the corners, and it was clear the couch cushions hadn't been vacuumed under in some time.

Very impressive property, huge bedrooms, great location for what we needed. Recommend highly, only downside is 2 bathrooms for 14 people, 1 being an ensuite. But we made it work no problem!

We had a girls weekend with a murder mystery night. House was perfect for that. Didnt get to enjoy the outside unfortunately due to stormy weather. Close to queensgate and brewtown so location good.House is in need of a revamp and a good clean though. Bins werent emptied in bathrooms, grouting needs redoing as it was black in showers. The kitchen had the basics but dont expect extras like coffee, washing powder, etc. Because all the containers were just about empty. Host was easy to communicate with though when a tree fell across drive in stormy weather. Al

Gorgeous night views over Lower Hutt lights

gardens and surrounding grounds wonderful, vintage style house fabulous. But no instructions for spa bath, plenty of videos but no instructions on how to use them, no tea towels. Small things amiss, still very enjoyable stay.

Amazing Property!!!!

Would love to come back for another stay! We had a great time, the property was awesome and weather was good so we made use of all the outdoor space. The house was clean and tidy and just what we were after. Great space, great beds and definitely a great view. Although there were no flannels or cloths and pepper for our eggs 😆 we made do and all had a fab time.

Pleasant stay, byo soap and shampoo

The house is huge and beautiful if not old and a bit musky. Plenty of space and accommodated us easily. Communication with manager was slow. For a place that can house so many, there are not enough wheelie bins and you need to byo soap and shampoo.

Great time

We had a great time and loved the house experience. It was an adventure living in an older house. Loved exploring the outdoors. Loved the outdoor areas. Just something that could be improved on we could have done with an extra bath mat and we were only given 10 towels for a booking of 11 people. All round we loved our time at the house.

50th Murder Mystery Birthday

Great stay, its an historic property and served its purpose bringing my whanau together and we made memories. The hosts are very good to talk to. That driveway was scenic lol. Thank you for trusting us with such a beautiful home. No moans and groans from us. We heated the house up there were plenty of heaters and plenty of room to chill. Awesome time!!!
