The 5 rooms - are individually furnished and named after aspects of the history of the house. The size of the rooms are from 18 to 30 square metres. All have bar fridge, heat pump and an en suite. The en suites in the Clifford and Vavasour Rooms are Edwardian style with timber and glass paneling and are incorporated within the room. (This design, although unusual to some, is to meet the requirements and protocols of Category 1 and 2 heritage listed buildings.) These rooms have either direct access to the garden (Clifford) or easy access ( Vavasour and Awatere.) with garden views.
