Family holiday
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.

Very beautiful and spacious house and location
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.

Big enough for a Marching team

About the host

Host profile image
Denis and Margie are now retired after careers in Law and teaching. They have lived in Havelock North since they married in 1968. Denis grew up on a farm in Hawkes Bay and Margie came from Wellington. They have always loved buying and renovating houses and Hillington reflects their interest in fine art, reading, history, travel and fine furniture. They love gardens and gardening and were thrilled to take over the care of this beautiful house and established garden.

Why they chose this property

When you come to stay at this beautiful property you will be able to imagine that it is your family home. Imagine our family heirlooms are yours. There have been generations here before you who have loved this house and garden. The house is very spacious and the large garden allows guests to spread out and find a quiet space or be right in the fun near the pool and outdoor dining space.

What makes this property unique

Has been part of the Hawkes Bay Holly Hospice Trail.
This historic house was once two storied, but the top storey was removed in the 1930s and taken elsewhere. See the photo in the entrance hall when you are there.
