Glen Aros is a classic New Zealand country estate. Luxury accommodation, fine dining and an idyllic setting make this the perfect escape for complete relaxation, and the ideal base for exploring Hawkes Bay.

The residences are set at the end of a tree-lined driveway in gardens originally designed by famous colonial landscape architect Alfred Buxton. First impressions confirm the traditional elegance of a country homestead, with wide verandahs, sweeping lawns and peaceful rural views of the picturesque Raukawa Valley.

Stepping inside the gracious 1914 home, you’ll discover it has been beautifully restored to maintain the original country charm but enhanced to meet the needs of the discerning traveller. There are spacious living rooms for convivial gatherings and plenty of private spaces for those who seek tranquillity.

Glen Aros has extensive leisure and recreation facilities and offers accommodation for up to 12 guests with six tastefully appointed bedrooms. The estate is set in two hectares of well-tended garden with mature trees, expansive lawns, and an olive grove. The gracious living rooms and grounds of Glen Aros offer a relaxing setting for a gathering of family, friends or colleagues, as well as being ideal for independent party bookings.

If you are seeking solitude, you can find yourself a private nook to write, read or just sit on the veranda and soak up the atmosphere.
