Te Mata House

Set amidst the picturesque landscapes of Havelock North, Te Mata House is a beautifully restored historic homestead that seamlessly blends classic charm with modern sophistication. This exclusive estate offers discerning travelers a unique opportunity to experience the elegance of a bygone era, elevated by contemporary comforts and thoughtful service.

The centrepiece, known as The Cottage, is an architecturally designed two-bedroom guesthouse featuring high-pitched ceilings, curated local art, and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen. Step outside into a private sanctuary where a cedar hot tub awaits, perfectly paired with a Baby Weber BBQ for relaxed alfresco dining. The expansive grounds are a delight to explore - lavender fields, citrus trees, and heritage gardens invite you to slow down and savour the quiet luxury of your surroundings.

Here, mornings begin with self-serve breakfast provisions using seasonal produce, and your room is serviced daily for a touch of hotel-style ease. You’ll also have access to an 18-metre heated swimming pool, a full-sized floodlit tennis court, and a charming collection of garden games - ideal for relaxed afternoons or entertaining with family and friends.

Whether you're planning a romantic escape, an intimate wedding, or a bespoke gathering, this is a place where every detail feels considered - and every moment beautifully unhurried.
