Be the lord or lady of this remarkable estate, one of the best-known properties in Lower Hutt. It is very private yet only 15 minutes away from Wellington CBD.

Your grand tour of this magnificent spot begins at the grand gates and takes you one km up a paved scenic driveway, passing 2 sparkling waterfalls on the way. The main house has been greatly enlarged and upgraded. Tudor-style, it features four generous bedrooms, including an upper-level master suite, many living & lounge areas, both formal and informal. There are also another two out-bedrooms. At every step, this home exudes quality: carara ceilings, jarra/matai floors, timber wall panels, inbuilt seating and lovely leadlight windows. The four bathrooms are situated internally, along with a games room with its own bar. The wine cellar & the huge farm-style kitchen is an entertainer’s dream. Well-insulated, the house is warm & comfortable.

In addition, the plantings on this property have been celebrated for almost a century. Tree ferns, cabbage trees, rhododendrons, avocados, walnuts & nikau palms are all well-established. Birdlife abounds, with tuis, fantails, wax-eyes & kingfishers, while monarch butterflies flutter by. The outdoor entertaining area is welcoming with a fireplace & a built-in barbecue in your own private piece of paradise.

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!!!

Travelled with family
The negatives: Communication with host was not efficient - we had to wait for a while for pin to get key to access property and we were unaware of some of the rules attached to the property like having family over to enjoy a meal. (Which the host allowed us to after a lengthy convo) Although there was a cleaning fee all rubbish needed taken off property by us. The musty smell when we entered was met alongside unclean areas inside like spiderwebs and moths along the window sills. Suggest you bring pillows unless you like thin musty ones. The property was surrounded by chicken and rooster feathers and poo making it unsuitable for small children to run around. It was our last resort at such short notice but we wouldnt stay there again.

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.

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.

Fabulous retreat close to Lower Hutt and Wellington
We loved the lodge style accommodation. Eight friends but equally suited to couples. Quirky, expansive, great areas to l8ve and relax on all levels. Cold snap I in the weather caught us the first night but we sorted extra blankets and marvelled at a few snow flakes. Friendly resident chicken and rooster. We lived it.

Absolutely loved out weekend away and what an amazing venue. We will definitely be back again. Our only complaint was that the dishwasher wasn't working. The lights in the house kept doing some strange things too like dimming, flickering or turning on and off but it just gave the Manor a haunted feel which made the weekend even more enjoyable. Hopefully this things are sorted by the time we book again.

It's spacious but something needed to be done
It's a beautiful and spacious house, most of my family members liked it. However, there was something that needed to be fixed. 1. The wifi is not covering the whole house. 2. Only 2 showers were not enough for 10 people. 3. The first floor and the living room were not cleaned thoroughly and had a bad smell.

Beautiful property but very poorly managed.
While the property itself is excellent, there were many issues including inaccuracies in the original listing. The house had power faults due to poor maintenance, was dirty and poorly equipped. Communication with the person responsible was frustrating and unhelpful. I wish I could recommend this beautiful location but the experience was severely compromised by mismanagement.

Overall house was nice. Run down though.
House was nice. Few things missing though. No vacuum. No broom. 3 tea towels for 4 days and 1 towel each for 4 days. Went to do a load of washing and the water waste wasnt hooked up and flooded so we couldnt do washing. Bbq outside required new fittings to work. We purchased the fittings and installed at our cost. Have although booked the house for same time next year. Overall enjoyed our stay. Owner was very communicative. Thank you houng

Even in the worst winter weather was still amazing
The photos can never justify the experience of this property and house. Until you see it in real life you just wont understand. This house is amazing! Plenty of room for any occasion and lots more. We stayed while the worst weather warning going on in Wellington, meanwhile we were warm and sheltered up at the estate. We never got to experience the outdoor areas as was raining, but house was more than enough. Driveway got a block with a landslip due to extreme weather... but quickly removed by our group, neighbor, and the owners. So all back on track which was unheard of in that weekend in Wellington. Beautiful place, I would definitely recommend, and cant wait to book there again! AMAZING
