Details

Tiger House Hermitage is a genuinely unique retreat, transformed from a 110-year-old green concrete barn into a luxury alternative nature escape, nestled in the foothills of Havelock North. This rustic yet opulent property offers a private and tranquil atmosphere, perched on a hill under majestic old trees, providing sweeping views of Hawke's Bay and glimpses of snow-capped mountains on the horizon. The design carefully blends its historic structure with quirky European country fit-out, creating a distinctive haven for relaxation and creativity.

The accommodation at Tiger House Hermitage features a main barn with a well-appointed bedroom and a second bedroom converted from stables, which offers a more rustic, glamping-style experience, particularly enjoyed in the warmer months. Guests benefit from a fully equipped kitchen, an inviting indoor fire, a spacious walk-in dressing room, and a generous bathroom with an open Italian shower. For indulgence, a private unheated outdoor swimming pool and an outdoor bath for stargazing are available, complemented by locally grown breakfast provisions and unlimited Wi-Fi.

This luxurious nature retreat is perfectly suited for those seeking a peaceful and inspiring getaway, whether for a romantic escape or a tranquil break from daily life. Its serene and private setting, combined with breathtaking views and unique amenities, appeals to guests desiring to unwind by the fire, soak under the stars, or simply enjoy the quietude of the Hawke's Bay countryside. Furthermore, with its dedicated studio space and art residency programme, it also draws artists and creatives looking for an inspiring environment to reflect and produce work.

I will borrow from Jon Stewart’s review of “Book of Mormon” and say that the Tiger House is so creatively decorated, so comfortable and cozy, so original in layout, and so picturesque that it made me angry.

Woody is an attentive and kind host and provided us with everything we could possibly need, including breakfast (and phone chargers!)

Go escape reality and stay there for a few days, and then go back to your home and remodel it.

We booked for a long weekend escape that would accommodate our small dog. The location is stunning, the inside is unique and quirky. The outdoor bath was so relaxing! We didn't get to the plunge pool as it is Winter. Woody and his dad were great. Just needed slightly more maintenance/tidying especially in the colder months. Otherwise, a really great little getaway - everyone was friendly and a bonus was with a real fruit ice cream shop just minutes away. Stay in or venture out, great options.

What a glorious, tropical paradise! We had an incredible 5 nights at Tiger House, the kids swimming every day, then warming back up in the outdoor bath. While the extra bedroom outside is quite rustic (my husband - who I suspect resents my aversion to camping - absolutely loved it), the main house is pure luxury and well equipped for a lush holiday. We also thoroughly enjoyed the huge personalities of the two ducks who live here, not to mention the other wildlife and animals in the neighbouring farms. A brilliant holiday - we hope to return soon!

Hands down the best accommodation I have stayed in. The barn is a real labour of love and there was so much thought put into every little detail. The pool was a wonderful treat in the hot sun and the bath was delightful. It has everything you need and you will never want to leave but should you feel obliged there is so much to do and it is super close to some great wineries and the Havelock North township. Will not hesitate to return.

Highly recommend Tiger House! Very peaceful & relaxing stay, quiet, with an expansive outlook from the kitchen window. The outdoor bath is a great spot & the pool would be awesome in summer. The outdoor fire makes it really cosy & its such a unique spot, feels very foreign! Nice Citta towels & bedding. Host Woody was very accomodating & communicative, left us breakfast provisions & fresh fruit & local coffee, much appreciated. Until next time!
