Hawthorne House is a stunning Edwardian villa located in the heart of Hawke's Bay wine country. With four luxuriously appointed en-suite bedrooms, the villa is set in formal and informal gardens and surrounded by paddocks with views to the surrounding Hawke's Bay hills. The tranquil rural setting is conveniently located only minutes from Hastings, Havelock North and some of New Zealand's best golf courses and wineries.
Hawthorne is the ideal base for your visit to 'the Bay'. Spend your days exploring the region's many attractions - wineries, Art Deco Napier, golf courses, fly fishing, the Hastings racecourse, food markets, great restaurants, the gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers - or just spend time relaxing on the property. In winter unwind with a book in the reading room or in front of the fire in the guest living room. In summer, decide whether to pick a spot in the garden, under shade on your personal verandah or even on an old train platform (a relic from the site's former life) overlooking the duck pond. If you're feeling active, work on your petanque and croquet skills.
When you arrive, a home-baked afternoon tea is on offer. Then, when the sun starts to go down, enjoy a pre dinner glass of wine with accompanying canapes. In the morning, treat yourself to something delicious for breakfast. Our menu features local or home-made produce and our own free-range eggs, including freshly baked bread and muffins.
All four bedrooms are East facing, each with their own verandah catching the morning sun. Of the four rooms, three are Super King and the fourth, which is wheelchair friendly, is a Queen. The three superkings feature recenctly renovated bathrooms including eco-friendly underfloor heating.
