The Manse Luxury Lodge  

Perched on a hill above the Heretaunga Plains, The Manse Luxury Lodge overlooks the world‑renowned Gimblett Gravels wine region near Maraekakaho. The property sits about 19 km from Hastings city center and offers dramatic vineyard and plain views.

A renovated 1910 vicarage turned luxury lodge, The Manse blends historic bones with European flair after updates in 2007 and 2012. Rooms feel like a beautifully furnished country house with creature comforts such as bathrobes, slippers, minibars and cozy on‑site fireplaces; services and room layouts may vary so experiences can be tailored.

Plunge into the outdoor pool, sip at the poolside bar, or unwind with a massage in the spa. Stay active in the fitness center or yoga area, browse the library, and let the concierge arrange tours or airport transfers. Guests enjoy complimentary parking, daily housekeeping, laundry services, and a complimentary breakfast — plus little things like a warm fireplace on cool nights and limited designated smoking zones.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. The lodge also provides private check‑in/out, luggage storage and concierge services — handy for business travelers on the move.

An on‑site restaurant and bar serve guests, with a poolside bar for relaxed drinks. Start each day with a complimentary breakfast, and ask the concierge to reserve prime dining spots or pair meals with Gimblett Gravels wines from the surrounding region.
