Exceptional experience! We were traveling as two couples. We felt so welcome, comfortable, and cared for. The property is stunning and the hosts are wonderful. I wish we could’ve stayed for a month! Lots of fun things around; we did a fun e-bike rental and went to wineries. Highly recommend Greenhill!

We popped up for high tea, what a lovely old place with a great history. The food was delicious, they were lovely and super accommodating on the hot hawkes bay day, even let our kids have a swim in the pool. Nothing was any trouble, Would happily recommend to other for a visit or a stay.

What an incredible find! Don't let the lack of online booking dissuade you from staying here- it's an amazing place with truly wonderful hosts. Charlotte and Stephen were so welcoming to the four of us (2 couples), from chatting about their journey to Greenhill, to sharing local recommendations, to amazing homecooked meals (definitely take them up on daily breakfast, and you have to eat dinner in at least once!). We felt very at home, and there were no shortage of spots to relax and soak in the beauty of Hawke's Bay. All guest rooms open to the front porch or the back courtyard, they're spacious and well-appointed, with modern bathrooms and homey touches. The billiard room is especially fun, as was the pool area (complete with cedar 2-person hot tub). We loved meeting all the resident animals (alpacas, mini ponies, goats, dogs, cats), but guests with animal allergies should be aware that a few of the fur babies are indoor pets. I wish we could have stayed longer, Greenhill would be the perfect place to get away from it all for an extended visit to the countryside!

Simply superb! Right from the the time we drove up the winding, tree-lined driveway through park-like grounds to the grandiose late 19th century built stately manor, all the way through our 24 hour idyllic stay.. everything was just absolutely top notch! Highly recommend the friendly service of our convivial, entertaining hosts Steve & Charlotte Wilson. Food & wine as good as anything that we’ve enjoyed anywhere!

Our stay at Greenhill lodge was the best night we had in NZ. We came across them by chance when frantically googling for same day accomodation before a wedding in the Hawkes Bay and were so pleased that they had space for us. Steve and Charlotte are so hospitable and it was such a dreamy stay. I’ve never stayed in a BnB before and was a bit nervous that it wouldn’t feel private but Greenhill really feels like a chic hotel and Steve and Charlotte live in a very seperate area to the guests.

The home itself is beautifully decorated, with lovely toiletries, coffee making, ironing board etc in your room. The beds are super comfortable and the house is so quiet so you will have a wonderful sleep.

You get to choose a welcome bottle of wine from their fantastic collection and the breakfast was outstanding. It’s such a beautiful spot to enjoy a glass of wine, you can even do so in their lovely hot tub, or wander the gardens and visit the alpacas. They have a wonderful collection of cats and dogs who are also charming to say hello to!

I would say you need a car to stay here, and then you can go and explore all that Hawkes bay has to offer.

We hope to return soon.
