Ounuwhao Harding House redefines what living in the grand style means.
16 Hope Avenue may sound like an ordinary address, but this house is anything but ordinary. A wonderful old Kauri villa from a time of splendour, this is a place that really does grace its environment.
Surrounded by neat lawns and mature trees, the house looks out quietly at one of the most beautiful scenes. No wonder it has been a successful Bed and Breakfast for so long, delighting visitors with its grandeur and elegance. One visitor said, "This is a wonderful villa with style, charm and great breakfasts in an ideal location". So what could be finer?
The accommodation is also opulent. In the main house there are five large double rooms all with traditional fittings and lovely bathroom facilities. Access to verandas, with moored boats to watch in Matauwhi Bay. In the sweeping gardens, there is also the Garden Suite, a small traditional building that sleeps three people, with ensuite and tea and coffee facilities.
Painted a soft grey with white trim, this is a historic homestead that looks entirely in its right place; 10 minutes gentle stroll into town or a two minute drive. There is parking here too. Don't wait for the right moment, come and see this and know what's on offer.
