An exclusive venue situated in the midst of Hawke’s Bay wine country in the North Island of New Zealand, Greenhill the Lodge overlooks classic New Zealand farm and grazing land.

Extravagantly conceived inside and out, the lodge’s legendary hospitality includes playing rights and fees at an exclusive golf club, and a bedroom where HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, once stayed.

Guest facilities include a swimming pool, spa pool, fully equipped gymnasium and croquet lawns, and there are five en-suite, air-conditioned suites, a number of which open out on to the terrace and sensational views over a magnificent restored pergola. True to its period, the house also has a panelled billiards room with a gigantic table, and space for bridge tables by the great fireplace.

Behind the house's orchard is Little Greenhill, a self-contained unit with two bedrooms, kitchen and a drawing room with spectacular views through floor to ceiling windows either side of a stone fireplace. The ultimate in privacy, there is even an outside bath on a terrace, where the only sound you might hear is a distant sheep.

Hawke's Bay has much to offer in the way of activities, so whether guests are interested in culture, arts, adventure, sightseeing or lifestyle activities, the area has something for everyone. Attractions include wine tours, hot air ballooning, wine tasting dinners and golf at world class Cape Kidnappers Golf Course.
