Simply outstanding! My brother and his husband were visiting us here in Auckland, NZ from bonnie Scotland. My wife and I wanted to show them beautiful Hawkes Bay while they were here and were very fortunate to find Hawthorne House when searching for boutique luxury accommodation in the region. And what a find it was! From the minute we pulled into the tree-line driveway leading up to this beautiful, character Edwardian villa we knew we had found something special. We were greeted at the door by Peter who offered us the warmest of welcomes; he proceeded to share his and Paul's passioned story of their labour of love that is Hawthorne House. The grounds are beautifully designed with bird song coming in every direction, and it was a joy to see wild rabbits hopping free around the outer grounds. Inside awaits an abundance of wonderfully curated artworks and pieces; you don't know where to look first. Stunning! My wife and I being designers ourselves found our stay very inspiring; we felt we had arrived! The bedrooms themselves are tastefully decorated and themed, again with stunning artworks adorning the walls, and very plush and comfortable. But it's not just the accommodation itself that you will surely love, it's the warmth of your hosts, Peter and Paul. Never have we stayed anywhere around the world where we were treated to such a memorable stay. They shared wonderful stories with us and there was much jovial laughter. Their local knowledge is incredible and there is nothing they wouldn't do for you. Oh, and their breakfasts are yummy! They were even able to get us a wine tasting and dinner booking at Craggy Range vineyard and restaurant even though it was fully booked online, and what a wonderful night that was! Hawthorne House is like one big warm hug; you won't want to let go of it. We left feeling like we were leaving family. We will most certainly be spreading the word about this wonderful place - here in NZ, and my brother and his husband back in Scotland and the UK. We can say without a shadow of a doubt – WE WILL BE BACK! Thank you Peter and Paul, for opening up your home to us; we had the most wonderful, memorable stay. We truly loved our Hawkes Bay-cation! We will see you again soon! Tony, Sara, David & Neil xx
