About this house rental
Hillington was once part of a 12 acre estate with extensive gardens and orchard. It included a gardener's cottage and tennis court at the front of the house. The maid's quarters are now repurposed as a bedroom and part of the kitchen. You can enjoy the grandeur of the house with its stunning furnishing and artworks, but also relax on the peaceful west facing verandah. Two of the bedrooms open to this area.
On the other side of the house is the large outdoor dining area under the wisteria covered pergola. The pool is nearby and well fenced. Adjacent to this area is an outside bedroom with a king size bed and a king single bed. There is a loo adjacent, but not a full bathroom.

A lovely large character home with easy access to parks and the centre of Havelock North and rest of Hawkes Bay and Napier area

Such a beautiful and well equipped place to stay with family - close to everything and very special! We will definitely be back. Thank you!

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.

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.

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.

We do a family holiday (11 of us) every year and this was one of the nicest homes we have stayed in. Was very well appointed and had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

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

A beautiful property and gorgeous house - lovely and spacious.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

A lovely older character property in a convenient location which suited our group well. Handy for Holly Hospice house tours, golf, restaurants, shopping & wineries.
