Greenhill Lodge

Greenhill Lodge, a Victorian country retreat has it all: timeless grandeur, boutique hotel style and a spectacular Hawke’s Bay hilltop setting. With just a handful of rooms and suites, it’s a truly exclusive experience. Get cosy beside flickering fires in winter and cool off in the pool when the weather’s warm. Throughout the year, feast on impossibly fresh, farm-to-table fine dining and views that are simply breathtaking.

Breakfast tables are piled high with homemade preserves, while dinner menus make use of produce from the Greenhill Lodge gardens and orchard. Look out for beehives, vegetable rows and aromatic herbs when wandering the grounds. At night, settle on the veranda or viewing turret – with a telescope that’s perfect for shooting star spotting. Then try your hand at a game of billiards, or select a book from the Library and retire to your bedroom.

Greenhill Lodge specialises in memory-making excursions. You could embark on a safari through Cape Kidnappers, seeing local wildlife and spectacular views. Or escape to Mohaka or Tutaekuri rivers to go fly fishing. You can even travel by helicopter, accompanied by an experienced guide and gourmet picnic. Be sure to explore the local wine trail, too. The landscape surrounding Greenhill Lodge is dotted with celebrated vineyards.
