About this lodge
Escape to the heart of New Zealand's renowned Hawke's Bay wine region and discover the unparalleled splendour of Gimblett Lodge. Tucked away amidst rolling vineyards in its own private farm and garden, this exclusive retreat is an architectural grand design that provides a sanctuary of country comfort and style.
At Gimblett Lodge, every detail has been meticulously crafted to ensure an unforgettable experience. Your extraordinary escape awaits.
As you step inside, you'll be immersed in an ambiance of refined elegance.
The Lodge boasts soaring ceilings, inviting you to sink into sumptuous sofas and indulge in panoramic views through floor to ceiling windows. Through the front entrance there is a spacious lounge/living area (35m2) off the hallway. Enjoy stunning sunsets and sunrises from the exquisitely comfortable living area and decks. The feature conference table serves as an office or dining area. There are several sofas, including one with a pull-out bed option.
Retreat to the woodland bedroom and awake refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to embrace another day of adventure. The large main bedroom (25m2) faces the olive grove and has direct access to the west/north deck. There is a separate shower room and a separate toilet.
Whether you seek relaxation, adventure, or simply a moment of tranquility, let us elevate your stay to new heights of indulgence.
You will have exclusive access to the Lodge's rooms, decks and the olive grove garden.
Your hosts will let you know what parts of the farm and vineyards are open for you to explore.
The Lodge has the red front door. Park next to the ramp.
Laundry access is through the garage.
For the more active guests, explore the farm trails, join in a local wine tasting, or ride the off-road cycle trails. The airport and local towns are nearby.
It is a short walk to wineries (in the newest wine capital of the world!), e-bike rentals and the start of 200+ km of Hawke's Bay bike trails. Further afield- Napier/Hastings airport is less than 30 minutes away, and the towns of Hastings and Havelock North are a 15 minute country drive.
You have a choice of 3 golf courses within 20 minutes drive.
The Lodge is in a working vineyard and farm area with access through a shared winery driveway. Follow the 20kph speed limit.

First of all, the views are stunning. One can sit and watch the whole evening evolve before you. We biked to a few wineries from the property and location was perfect. The property itself was amazing to explore and we so enjoyed our morning walk. Jo and Bruce were exception hosts and nothing was too much effort. We even were given a bundle of feijoas when we left. We hope to visit again.

Wonderful host. Five star experience. Magnificent view right next to wineries.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2025
We booked a Feb stay there solely with the expectation we could relax and take in the fabulous rural views. To sit with a book on the verandah and enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. Not to be.. At 6:30 every morning we woke to the noise of gas powered bird guns firing 6-8 shots per minute until 8 pm ish every day. We were not warned about this until our arrival. We had no choice but to shut doors and pull curtains to reduce the noise, but mostly we left the property for most of the day to stay sane. Maybe music to the ears of those invested in vineyards but for us it was disappointingly invasive. Beautifully built, but it’s a shared washing machine in the garage, and only electric jug/coffee pod machine/microwave cooking facilities in the hallway.maybe we picked the wrong season ?
