Discover Our Rooms
The Signature SUITE
The Signature Room feels like stepping into a world that is regal and timeless. The moment you walk in, your glance touches the centrepiece of the room, a grand Austro-Hungarian Empire bed that faces a welcoming fireplace. It’s easy to imagine yourself sinking into the plush bedding, letting the crackle of the fire lull you into relaxation.
French doors draw you outside, where the garden becomes your private retreat perfect for enjoying a drink from the minibar.
courtyard SUITE
Into the Courtyard Suite you’ll find a peaceful veranda and private courtyard where you can relax in the afternoon sun. Facing north, this cosy room is bathed in warm shades of caramel, gold, and green, with carefully curated artwork and antiques adding character to the space. The original sandstone stable wall runs the length of the room, giving it a unique charm. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway or need a twin-share option, the Courtyard Suite offers a serene private escape.
Wellington SUITEs
It’s easy to see why the Wellington Suites are a guest favourite. These spacious, sun-filled rooms offer breathtaking views of Mount Wellington, framed by original pressed-tin ceilings that add a touch of the property’s rich history.

Located in the post-modern west wing, the Garden Suites offer a tranquil view of Mount Wellington through a beautiful frame of rhododendron and cherry gardens.
