Central Hawke's Bay Homesteads
This popular homestead trail returns for another year, offering a rare opportunity to step inside three of Central Hawke’s Bay’s most magnificent historic homes: Gwavas, Ashcott, and Woburn.
Each homestead shares a distinct chapter of the region’s history — from Victorian opulence to Edwardian charm — providing a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the families who shaped these architectural treasures.
This immersive day celebrates heritage, preservation, and the enduring allure of a bygone era.
Relax and enjoy a fully hosted experience, with transport provided by bus from the Waipukurau Railway Station. You'll be warmly welcomed at each stop with morning tea, a leisurely lunch, and afternoon refreshments.
A truly unforgettable day for history lovers and garden enthusiasts alike.
