The old maternity hospital, converted but not altered, colonial in appearance with verandahs about and such a fun place to stay. The rooms can only be said to be spacious and are superbly fitted out and what with a library and billiard room (full size ) ,after you have spent a long time over breakfast gazing over Hawkes Bay from...

You will never forget staying here. It is not just the house which is just amazing in quality and history, not even the views right over the bay or the quality of the accomodation. It is the way in which Yvonne makes you welcome which is so hospitable and accomodating that it sets a standard most others could only aspire... More

As we wanted... More

Regardless of legnth of stay, you will wish you had more time at the historic McHardy Lodge. McHardy manages to be at once grand and cosy.

The rooms are quaint but sophisticated, spotlessly clean... More

Paul and Selena were great. Lodge is hard to find so be sure to get directions beforehand. So comfortable and peaceful. Booked through wholesaler as packageI so I cannot really evaluate the value More

We spent 3 nights at McHardy Lodge on our recent trip to New Zealand. Everything was of the highest standard and our hosts Paul and Selina very helpful and attentive. There was nothing we could fault and would not hesitate to recommend a stay here. More

A place to recommend. Selena and Paul are extremely friendly hosts. Paul is also a very talented chef and understands to prepare culinary highlights. The rooms are spacious, very nicely decorated. A place to come back to. We enjoyed our 2 nights stay at the McHardy Lodge very much. Rudi and Gudrun Perkowsky More
