Set atop a peaceful Hawke’s Bay hill amid 30 hectares of rolling farmland and landscaped gardens, Greenhill Lodge stands as one of New Zealand’s most distinguished historic estates, a rare blend of Victorian heritage, timeless elegance, and contemporary luxury.

Originally constructed in the late 19th century, the homestead was among Hawke’s Bay’s finest residences. Over a century later, it has been meticulously restored by previous owners, preserving its architectural integrity while integrating modern comforts and finishes suited to today’s lifestyle.

A tree-lined driveway winds through park-like grounds inspired by Alfred Buxton, one of New Zealand’s foremost early 20th-century landscape designers. Built of heart Totara with Matai flooring and Rimu panelling, the home remains a pristine example of Victorian craftsmanship. Its iconic tower captures sweeping countryside views by day and the twinkling lights of Hawke’s Bay by night.

Inside, a grand reception hall opens to elegant formal rooms and wide verandas that embrace the home’s elevated position. The kitchen caters effortlessly for both intimate family use and large gatherings, connecting directly to the rear verandah and swimming pool complex. The main residence includes five luxurious guest suites, each with a private ensuite and panoramic outlooks.

Complementing the homestead is a two-bedroom guest cottage, offering versatility for extended family, guests, or boutique accommodation. Additional outbuildings provide garaging and storage. The grounds showcase mature trees, manicured gardens, open terraces, and walking trails that create a genuine sense of privacy and seclusion. A swimming pool and private hot tub overlook the rolling farmland, completing the estate’s resort-style feel.

Greenhill Lodge offers the rare flexibility of continuing as a prestigious boutique accommodation or seamlessly returning to its roots as one of Hawke’s Bay’s most exceptional private residences.

Just minutes from Hastings and Napier, and close to Havelock North’s award-winning wineries and dining destinations, Greenhill Lodge offers a unique combination of heritage, lifestyle, and investment potential.

An irreplaceable opportunity to own one of New Zealand’s most iconic historic estates.
