The property, New Zealand's largest private historic estate, holds a Category 1 Listing from the National Historic Places Trust, is acclaimed as the best example of Queen Anne architecture in Australasia and its 30-acre grounds are recognized as a "New Zealand Garden of National Significance." The Lodge opened in 2007 following an extensive renovation and is a Relais & Châteaux, Virtuoso, and American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts member property.
