About this property

WOODROYD ESTATE Holiday sanctuary 15 mins from CBD

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.

***Please note that it is a minimum of two night stay on weekends.
***We DO NOT allow pets at our property.
*** For special events such as weddings, birthdays, corporate retreats, family celebrations, different rates apply and the cleaning charge is $200. There’s also a bond for events.

4/10 Poor

JEREMY

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.

Absolutely loved out weekend away and what an amazing venue. We will definitely be back again. Our only complaint was that the dishwasher wasn't working. The lights in the house kept doing some strange things too like dimming, flickering or turning on and off but it just gave the Manor a haunted feel which made the weekend even more enjoyable. Hopefully this things are sorted by the time we book again.

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.

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!
