The property was so beautiful me and my husband both loved it and was so excited for our stay!

We were hoping to sit in the lounge area after we had been out for dinner but they had locked the door so we had to go back to our room. We understand why they might do this however would be nice for guests to have areas other than outside to be able to relax other than just the room, this is not a huge issue nor did we feel the need to bring it up just an idea.

The location is perfect for Palmerston and Fielding, it is a beautiful place to relax and recuperate. The breakfast was delicious with continental having an array of fruits and cereals, they make their own muesli and stewed fruit. Fresh orange juice and croissants 😋 The full breakfast is extra and delicious. Boutique bedrooms and gorgeous lounge.

The location was wonderful and the photos of the property don’t do it justice, as it is very special and beautiful. The opportunity to have a guided tour of the property and the farm was not expected but very much appreciated and enjoyable.

Nothing to dislike about the property.

We enjoyed everything about Hiwinui- from the seclusion of our accommodation to the warmth of the owners. We were given an unexpected tour of this large property, half of which lies within the boundaries of the city of Palmerston North, and found the ‘light’ platter we ordered as our evening meal to be the most satisfying we’d ever had. We were also very impressed by initiatives undertaken by the owners and their family to reduce the impact of farming practices on the land through massive riparian plantings and stock reduction. We thoroughly recommend a stay at Hiwinui.

It can be very wet in Palmerston North.

We loved the remote aspect of the property and the immaculately kept grounds. we stayed in the apartment that was seperate from the main house and it was very private and spotless. Arriving late in the day while touring on motorcycles the owners bent over backwards to make us feel welcome and were extremely accomodating. The outdoor spa area was awesome with the fire lit especially for us was the icing on the cake, very welcome after a day on a motorbike.

Everything, wonderful hosts, engaging and interesting. Enjoyed a complementary lovely glass of wine with our hosts and other guests. The history of the property is worth the visit alone. Portrays New Zealand farming at its best. Highly recommend to everyone.

Nothing at all,

A very lovely secluded country getaway. Very quiet with a lovely view of surrounding farmland. Staff were very friendly and polite and greeted us welcomely upon arrival and anytime they saw us relaxing outside.

Nothing, absolutely amazing

Travelled back from Christchurch to Auckland with my daughter who was coming home from Uni. This was a lovely place to stay. Fully appointed with all you could possibly need and such a picture perfect setting its just wonderful. Highly recommend.

Beautiful tree view location with day spa feel, many thanks to the super friendly hosts for our very lovely relaxing getaway. Highly recommend and rate 5 Star accommodation

Absolutely stunning landscape & the hosts were incredibly gracious & welcoming. Comfortable bed, spacious room. I would have loved to explore the property but unfortunately circumstances didn’t allow for that this time.

Nothing to dislike!
