Mt Vernon Villa by MajorDomo | Hawke's Bay Estate with Pool & Tennis Court

Set in a beautifully modernised Victorian heritage building, Mt Vernon Villa offers a tranquil countryside retreat for up to 12 guests. It`s an excellent choice for families or large groups of friends, especially those drawn to Hawke`s Bay`s renowned fly-fishing, golf courses, wineries, and cycle trails.

The villa blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates, classically laid out along a north-south axis with spacious rooms and high ceilings. A variety of living spaces gives guests plenty of room to spread out: the grand sitting room features a beautiful piano and opens onto a long verandah, while the study — home to over 2,000 books, some dating back to the 1800s — offers a quiet spot for reading. A separate day lounge opens to the courtyard, perfect for movie nights or games, and an upstairs west-facing lounge is bathed in afternoon sun, ideal for unwinding.

The well-equipped kitchen connects to the dining room and out to the courtyard and verandah, making entertaining effortless. Enjoy a BBQ or al fresco meal in the courtyard on warm summer days, then take a relaxed stroll through the grounds afterward.

This is a rare and spacious property offering a peaceful escape steeped in history, with easy access to everything Hawke`s Bay has to offer.

Guests have full access to the property, including the tennis court, swimming pool, BBQ facilities, gardens, and main house. A complimentary concierge service is also available to help arrange activities and restaurant bookings.
All children and infants are included in the total guest count - maximum number of guests should not exceed that specified on this listing, including all infants. Any bookings made exceeding the maximum number of guests will be cancelled.

A refundable security deposit will be charged to your card prior to your check in. This is a MajorDomo requirement of booking. The deposit value is usually equivalant to the cost of 1 night - we will advise you of the exact figure in your confirmation email.
