Originally home to one of NZ’s wealthiest industrialists, this gorgeous red-brick mansion is just minutes from the city, but the secluded gardens feel wonderfully remote. Rooms are elegantly trimmed with antique furniture and ornate plaster ceilings and are snug on cold nights with underfloor bathroom heating.
