A Private Sanctuary Awaits You. Built in the 1880s, The Annandale homestead has been lovingly restored to create a luxurious five-bedroom home in a private and tranquil setting.
It has swimming pool and spa pool, tennis court and exercise gym, significant gardens and decks to relax with family and friends.
GARDEN
Meander through the fifteen acres of Annandale's historic gardens around the homestead and discover an array of fascinating botanical features – the lush atmosphere of the restored Victorian fernery, the dappled shade of the long walk beside the bay.
The homestead’s four spacious master suites and playful bunk room are all beautifully appointed and thoughtfully furnished with the crispest of linens, comfortable reading nooks and adjustable lighting.
All suites have en suite bathrooms, thermostatic controllers and plenty of storage space.
Three of the master suites have king-size beds and verandahs. The fourth master suite can be set up with a king-size bed or with twin singles.
The fifth bedroom is all about fun: sleeping a maximum of six people, it has a set of bunks as well as two double beds, plus a surprise that will delight visitors both old and young – a secret staircase that leads down to the kitchen via the butler’s pantry.
If your party requires extra accommodation, it is possible to book The Stables in conjunction with the homestead.
This self-contained and spacious loft apartment sleeps up to four.
The heart of the Annandale homestead is undoubtedly the large kitchen, with its farmhouse table and views out to the lawns and kitchen garden beyond.
Fully stocked with delicious breakfast provisions and pantry supplies, plus all the appliances, kitchenware and utensils you might need.
The kitchen leads through to the warm and spacious drawing room and library, where you can choose to get cosy in front of the fire or enjoy the views through the French doors to the gardens and the bay glinting through the trees.
The elegant dining room seats 12 and features original kauri furniture.
