The Manse

A former private residence on what was once a sheep station, The Manse is a two-suite luxury lodge in Hawke's Bay, ringed by vineyards, green countryside, and mountain views over the Ngaruroro River. With only two suites, the hosts can actually shape your stay around you, right down to daily menus built from the farm and orchard out back. The lodge can be taken over entirely, which rather explains the clientele.
