The Homestead is a large 2 story house built by a European craftsman in a style quite unique to Northland. Every room is built to grand proportions with incredibly detailed ceilings and features, an architectural craft not often used in todays' buildings. The Homestead is surrounded by well tended gardens and pleasant areas to relax in the sun or shade. Lisa or Anthony will welcome you into their home with refreshments on arrival and happily share their local knowledge with you ensuring you get the most out of your stay in this beautiful part of New Zealand.
