History, Grandeur and Income

As you approach this extra-ordinary property, you are stepping into a piece of New Zealand history, and this estate is recognised as such by its' Category 1 registration by the N.Z. Historic Places Trust. Built as a country estate in 1896, no expense was spared, and the phenomenal native wood architecture is testament to this. Intended for large-scale entertaining, all the ground floor public rooms are extremely generous in size. Consequently its' current use as a Boutique Hotel makes use of these spaces beautifully. 1440 sq. m. (almost 16,000 sq.ft.) approx. under roof, the main house is New Zealand's third largest home. A grand entry room with a spectacular wide wooden staircase (which leads to the 15 upstairs bedrooms) leads to the Drawing Room and the enormous Dining Room which seats over 100, which both open to wrap-around verandahs seating 50. Situated within 36 acres incorporating park-like manicured grounds with formal rose gardens and specimen trees, plus 8 acres of native forest, this property has total privacy and seclusion. The property was renovated in 2009, and completely furnished for elegant and up-market hotel guests and for hosting functions. There is additional accommodation comprising another 15 bedrooms, plus manager's 3 bedroom cottage. Numerous out-buildings--a chapel/conference space, workshop, swimming pool, etc...Prepare to be amazed! Currently being managed as a Botique Hotel with Managers wanting to stay. Location only 2hours from Wellington and 2hours to Ski Fields and Taupo.
