The Manse – an exclusive, luxury boutique lodge set on a hill bordering the world-renowned Gimblett Gravels wine region.
Originally built in 1910 for the Presbyterian Minister of the Maraekakaho Station, The Manse was renovated in 2012 and is now a beautifully furnished historic country house with European flair.
Elegantly furnished with European antiques and designer fabrics, its spacious living areas entice guests to relax indoors or out. Verandahs and terraces open to the gardens and Salt Water pool, and there is an intimate library stocked with books, Cuban cigars and malt whiskies. As night falls, view the night skies from your private verandah.

“The most wonderful stay at The Manse A Hidden Gem – We’re so thrilled that we listened to the reviews on Trip Advisor and stayed for two nights at The Manse. It’s a bit off the beaten path but well worth the short drive outside of Napier. We arrived in the evening after a long drive just in time for hors d’oeuvre and wine before a fabulous 4-course dinner. The views of the vineyards in the valley below are exquisite at sunset. The service and the accommodations couldn’t have been better or more inviting. After a day of wine tasting the next day, Chef Gary whipped us up a gourmet frittata and entertained us with stories of the local culture before giving me a tour (and a taste) of his very impressive Scotch collection. The Manse was the best find (and the best night’s sleep) we had on our two-week tour of New Zealand! |
