Each of our stunning rooms, with its own distinctive character, is named after a prominent individual in the Homestead’s rich history. The Boult Suite, for instance, honours Philip Burbage Boult, who was granted the land in 1876, while the Firth Room pays tribute to Horatio Nelson Firth, whose family resided here from 1889 until 1901, when Firth’s life took a dramatic turn with his imprisonment for embezzlement.
Hulbert House is protected by a New Zealand Historic Places covenant, ensuring its historical significance is preserved for future generations. The interior design, masterfully crafted by Neil McLachlan, seamlessly preserves period details while marrying contemporary elegance. Splendid English wallpapers and custom-milled carpets grace the floors, while grand French antiques and glittering chandeliers evoke the opulence of a bygone era.
A newly constructed ‘Palm House,’ situated in the former rear courtyard, incorporates the original service wing and features custom-made tiles adorning a full-height chimney breast. Every element, meticulously curated, results in an interior that is nothing short of extraordinary.
At Hulbert House, you will find an oasis of refined luxury, where each room tells a story and every detail whispers of a glorious past. Here, history, elegance, and nature converge to offer a truly intimate and genuine retreat.
