For a big family reunion this house is perfect! Really cool house and its beautiful.

Great place for our staff trip, the place was great and we all enjoyed the house.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for having us all, it was a great stay for our team. Cheers A+

A lovely way to celebrate my birthday with a few friends! Unfortunately the rain meant that we were unable to enjoy the lovely grounds but luckily there is enough space indoors to accommodate a larger group 😊

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.

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.

What a lovely home. Historically pleasing. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this stay. Many thanks.

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

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

This place is fantastic for group of people. Hide n seek was fun, wouldn’t recommend horror movie though😀, was great experience overall.

Communication from property manager was prompt and helpful. The house is ideal for large groups with lots of different areas to congregate in. Only downside is there only being one shower (apart from an ensuite one).

What an amazing property!!! Well and truly exceeded all my expectations. Wouldnt reccomend watching a scary movie in it though haha!!We will defiantly be back for another trip.The only thing i would suggest is some written instructions on how to work the TV's - We didn't want to use them often but it would have been nice to have the option - not a complaint just a suggestion.Also there was a broken bottle at the front door at arrival but not a biggy either.Thanks again. Very beautiful property.

We loved every moment staying at Woodroyd estate! The grounds were amazing, the house was grand and expansive. It was a beautiful location for our family, and all of our guests are raving about their experience here this past weekend.Thank you so much for a smooth and easy stay, we will be back!

When I arrived, I did not received the check-in details (I assumed it was the website, as the message showed up 1 day later), the owners were nice (even they were annoyed) and guided me to be able to check-in. The place is large and beautiful. Cleanliness: There were spider webs in the stairs, under the beds was very dirty ( I always check before leaving in case I dropped anything) and I had to clean most dishes and glasses (the dishwasher doesn't work, it run, but doesn't clean) Amenities: There is not much in the kitchen to cook with, the kettle doesn't work either but the barbecue were a pleasure to use. Service: In the morning we found out there were no hot water, so I contacted the owners and around midday there were some so I told them to not worry about it. My friends and I decided to enjoy a naked sun bath in the garden (there is no neighbors which is awesome!) and someone showed up! He said he was the owner, when at the phone I was talking to a woman, so clearly that man could be anyone! Nobody told me that someone would showed up to check the hot water cylinder! Just a great surprise to be naked in front of strangers... Then the plumber arrived and they stayed for at least 3hours! Taking their time, cutting the grass and having dinner on the parking. ( I booked that accommodation to get some privacy, not to share my time with the owners) When they were well aware about that problem and could have fix it before our arrival as there were no guests on the day before (that is why we were in theory able to check in earlier but because of the check-in problem we couldn't). During that time the owner had a look around as well (violation of privacy?) I received then a message from the other owner telling me that I better look at the house rules and leave the place impeccable if I don't want a surcharge as I moved some furniture (I moved 1 headboard that wasn't attached to the bed). I have been a host since 4 years and renting other places that I ALWAYS left in perfect conditions, therefore I felt highly insulted by that comment. On the check-out date, my friend told me a car parked on the property in the morning (again, could be anyone) and said he was the owner (different from the 2 others I interacted with), so not too sure what he was doing there that early, checking what we were doing maybe? Overall, I didn't feel comfortable at all and found the owners difficult and intrusive. I will not book again and cannot recommend to others.

A great venue for a big group. Huge bedrooms. Wonderfully furnished with artefacts befitting the title ‘Estate’. An elegant setting for a wedding. Beautiful surroundings and outlook. Massive outdoor barbecue and fire. Walks and waterfalls. The downstairs entry, fireplace, bar, cellar and powder room are a delight on entering the property. On the middle floor it was fun choosing bedrooms, and entertaining ares. Bathrooms are beautiful. The upstairs floor is a huge bedroom whose size and features are the highlight of the visit and exceed the photos. Congratulations to the landlords for recreating the estate. A memorable experience enjoyed by all.

All our group really loved this place. Lovely house in lovely grounds. We'll be back next year.

Kitchen definitely needs a revamp ie it was lacking in kitchen utensils etc for preparing food etc. Heating in house needs a revamp in winter months. No overall heating, but a heater in every bedroom which would have been nice to have had switched on prior to our arrival.

Great space with beautiful outdoor areas. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Would definitely stay here again!

I had a bridal party stay here with me in the lead up to my big day. This place was absolutely perfect. It's huge, it's gorgeous, it's roomy, it's spacious, it's beautiful and it surprised us every time we came back to it. We all absolutely loved our time here in this amazing resort.

A fairytale come true. As close to royalty as we will ever get. Only downside is we never saw Wellington because we couldn't bring ourselves to leave this dream.

The location and building is beautiful, however the kitchen/dining area is run down with poor quality cutlery, crokery, and utensils, that was also of insufficient quantity. A poorly functioning dishwasher also reduced the enjoyment of our stay.

What an amazing accomodation.

A Beautiful setting and a well presented period homestead. We had an amazing time and enjoyed being nestled in our very own nature reserve for the weekend. Some of the kitchen appliances were a little "tired" with no instructions on how to work them but this was a very minor issue which we navigated around without too much problem. Absolutely want to return, a great way to get all the family together in one fairy tale like spot.

Property is in a great location. With a lot of space to walk around. Could do with the kitchen having more cups etc..

What a spot open grounds etc huge house lovely

The house is in an amazing location with some fantastic views over Wellington. It was very cold on arrival in the house due to the lack of central heating and no fire/heaters being on prior to our arrival - but Hieu kindly gave us portable heaters to use for each room. It would have been great to be pre-warned about the need for these.

Amazing property. Warning about the steep drive would of been good especially as we arrived when dark. I think a lockbox for the key would work better then in the mail box. And ensuring the wood is fully stocked in the house. Having to go and do a wood run on arrival in he dark wasn't ideal. ( ideally a fire going for the renters on arrival would of been perfect as it took a while for the house to warm up)
