Herbertville House | A large home that is a beautiful piece of New Zealand history

4 Bedroom House in Herbertville

A large character house on a large section. This house was originally built in 1886 and is one of the oldest in the village. The house has been host to the local Doctor, rural postie and numerous farming families of the region. Over the past 18 years we have modernised the house while retaining the character and feel that came with the era it was built in. It is large, with big bedrooms, warm and has all the creature comforts you will need.
The house is short walk to the beach, pub or golf course. The beach is 10 kms of golden sand, with great fishing, diving and some areas of safe swimming. This location offers a great place to unwind and take in the stunning Wairarapa coast. It also has a fantastic 9nhole golf course and local pub with a great restaurant. The coast has a great reputation for longline fishing, and we speak from experience when we say that the gurnard and kahawai along this coast are some of the biggest you will catch!
Close to the area is Akitio, with the possibility of a drive over Akitio station through stunning scenery if you gain permission. You might also fancy a short drive to Porangahau or maybe the easy drive to either Dannevirke or Waipukurau to check out the local eateries!
A large and noisy seal colony hauls out at the famous Cape Turnagain during winter. From here you can see where they used to barge supplies to shore and take wool to waiting freighters. When the sea conditions are right you can also get a feed of fat paua, or if keen take your tanks and find crays only a short distance off shore.
The house is warm with a large wood burner and stacks of firewood so offers a comfortable stay regardless of the weather. There are plenty of DVD's, games and books. It is a great house to relax, unwind and enjoy the rural surroundings. All the bedrooms are large and warm. The bathroom and kitchen have recently undergone renovations and are clean and modern.
Large fenced section with a native forest at the back is great for young children.
There is plenty of off street parking for extra cars or the boat.
Special conditions:
The house has undergone extensive refurbishment but we still have work to do! The interior is largely complete but if unpainted gib or uncarpeted floors offend, then this house is not for you!
Smoking is only permitted outside and guest must clean up any butts.

Summary: We stayed at Neil's holiday home for a few days over the January holidays. The house has pretty much everything you need and the place is spacious and comfortable. I loved the verandah for reading books and the backyard was lovely for coffee in the morning. Herbertville itself doesn't have a petrol station or shops, so be prepared and bring everything you need. The beach is beautiful but didn't feel safe swimming there with kids, so just admired it from afar. Would recommend the walk to Cape Turnagain - really neat sandunes and lots of seals to check out. The people across the road are really friendly and sell ice creams and coffee. We all concurred it was the best real fruit ice cream we've had in a long long time. Thanks for the stay.

Summary: Really enjoyed our stay. Heaps of space in a beautiful old villa... just my style. Absolutely loved the native plants on the walk up the back. Lovely area to have a wine in the evenings. We will be back.

Summary: Had a lovely quiet family Christmas at this property. Great for those wanting to unwind and relax. Easy access to the beach. Property was well provisioned and heaps of DVDs and games supplied to appease the kids. Bonus of the coffee van across the road.

Summary: We arrived to a fantastic property in a cute seaside community. The road is a bit of a work in progress from Weber due to the Cyclone. A great property with plenty of room for a family. Enjoyed the garden and surrounding spaces. A coffee cart and real fruit ice cream across the road (Jax and Steve make great coffee). Walked to the cape for the seals and dotterills. Surfcasted off the beach which is a quick 5 minute drive. I would definitely stay again.
