In early 2019 following successful careers in corporate training and hospitality, long time Grey Lynn residents Peter Allen and Paul Smith were looking into options to “rewire, not retire” when they stumbled across Hawthorne House for sale in Hawke’s Bay.
Once they had viewed the magnificent property however, their fates were sealed. They had fallen head over heels, and seeing tremendous potential and possibilities decided they couldn’t resist the opportunity and hence, start their new lifestyle in Hawke’s Bay.
Moving to the region in July 2019, they then spent the next three months completely renovating the property into an incredible homestead with an interior design style described as ‘eclectic Edwardian villa meets mid century styling’.
Passionate art collectors, every wall, shelf, table and garden corner is filled with original artworks including paintings, glass, ceramics and sculpture.
Embracing the design philosophy of surrounding yourself with things you love has seen Hawthorne House evolve to truly become Hawke’s Bay’s premier hosted bed and breakfast accommodation.
Nestled within formal and informal gardens in a tranquil rural setting, with four beautifully designed and luxuriously appointed king sized en-suite rooms available, guests at Hawthorne House can be sure to relax and unwind.
Located 10 minutes from Havelock North and Hastings, and 20 minutes from Napier, this is the perfect location from which to enjoy the best of what Hawke’s Bay has to offer.
Peter and Paul are thrilled with their move, and spend their time enjoying the many fantastic wineries, restaurants, cycle trails, art galleries and fabulously friendly people.
They would love to show you around their little slice of paradise.
