About this house rental

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!!!

Had a lovely weekend away with friends before moving overseas. Loved the space, and having opportunities to bring everyone together while also having lots of spaces for different activities and socialising needs

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!

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.

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.
