About this property

The Homestead at Clearview Estate

The historic Clearview Homestead began life as a tobacco drying shed before becoming the family home of the Vidal family, circa 1915 as they established grapevines on this ‘No2’ vineyard. Nestled behind the hedge above the winery, the fully renovated rustic Homestead has become a sprawling family accommodation full of character and atmosphere. With an entertainer’s kitchen opening onto the dining, living rooms and deck, the gardens are private and sunny – also suited to smaller weddings and gatherings. With two bathrooms, two queen, two double and one twin single bedroom, the house suits varied groups, sleeping ten people easily. The smaller rear two bedroom rimu-lined ‘Shearer’s Quarters’ can be rented and secured separately. Enjoy a glass of Estate Chardonnay on the sunset deck in summer, or relax inside warmed in winter with a huge logfire, enjoying a book with a glass of Clearview Estate full bodied red wine.
Just a few steps away is our Red-Shed Restaurant using our own produce and herbs, organic, local and free range ingredients wherever possible to create our contemporary Mediterranean menu. For a relaxing brunch, a long lunch, the Clearview platter or coffee - enjoy casual rustic dining with friendly service. Sample the extensive range of wines at our Cellar Door, selecting the perfect wines to take home with you. Ideal for families or a long weekend get-away with friends, there are many local activities to experience; trips to the gannet colony, horse treks, river walks and cycle trails, beaches, local wineries, surfing the point break, beautiful Te Mata peak walks, local markets, and the extensive HB cycle trail at the gate.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only andamp; ashtrays to be used.
Horses welcome with prior arrangement for grazing.
The homestead is situated on a working winery/restaurant establishment, children will need to be supervised when outdoors.
Dogs are welcome with advance notice - they must sleep outside and be tied up and kept under control.

Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);

Lovely short break
We visited from Auckland with family visiting from the UK. This was a lovely large comfortable property for our group of 8. A well equipped property in a beautiful setting with easy access to the local area.The owner was very welcoming. We enjoyed yummy lunch and wine tasting right next door. Would highly recommend.

Perfect for a big group
This was a fantastic stay for all of us. Location was beautiful and the hosts were impeccable and communicated wonderfully. Only issue was the internet was unstable but that wasnt really an issue because it meant everyone was present and enjoyed the holiday. We felt very central to all the activities we wajted to do with nothing more than half an hour away. Would love to stay again!

Thank you SO much!! We enjoyed staying here, wish it could have been longer. What a beautiful location, and so special to be able to enjoy the vineyard surrounds. We were treated very well by the host, and LOVED the platters and bubbly - deeeelicious :) Highly recommend.

Humble hideaway
I really enjoyed staying at Clearview. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the owner, Tim, was exceptionally welcoming. The best thing was that we could have dogs, and the property is just amazing for them - so many rabbits to chase! I will grant you, the property itself is a bit, ah, unusual, I'd call it a fun and interesting jumble. And the cleanliness does leave a lot to be desired - team, I really do recommend you give it a deep clean every couple of months - I don't think your cleaners ever move any of the furniture! So if staying somewhere that's super clean is your thing, then yeah, nah, maybe don't. But if you have dogs and want to stay somewhere relaxing, welcoming and fun, then this is your place. Oh, and did I mention there's a winery attached? And the wines are excellent?

Overall a great place for a large family stay. However the maintance needs upgrading and cleanliness should have been much better for the cleaning fee charged.

Lovely spot for a relaxed stay
We really enjoyed our stay at Clearview. The Homestead is cosy, old/character-filled (depending on your outlook) but has everything you need for a comfortable and really pleasant stay. Ketan was a wonderful and warm host, and it felt that nothing would be too much trouble. If you are after five star luxury this may not be for you, but for a laid-back family holiday in a beautiful location (and a great restaurant and winery) it was perfect!

A lovely little oasis
We had such an amazing stay. Ketan and the rest of the staff looked after us so well. The homestead is lovely. There were 8 of us staying and there was plenty of room for us all. We very much enjoyed sitting on the deck with a glass of wine amongst the greenery. It was so quiet. Even when the restaurant was open he couldn’t hear anything. We had lunch at the vineyard one day and were treated to a lovely tasting and tour. We left behind something and Ketan very kindly organised a courier to send it back. One small thing to be aware of is that the bugs do come out at night - make sure you use the bug spray that is kindly left to use!

Cosy in winter
This was the first time our family was together for a long time and Clearview Homestead was a wonderful, warm Winter getaway. Blustery walks on the beach, great coffee cart down the road, a delicious family lunch at the estate, and a roaring fire in the evenings. Full of character, we loved it and would come again.

Accommodation really suited our family plus two small dogs. Lots of space. Lovely, quiet setting.
Check in was easy and very welcoming with fire lit and house warm - it was a cold wet winter’s day when we arrived. We didn’t mind so much but house (especially kitchen and bathroom) could do with a deep clean.

A stay among the vines
We loved this maze of a house tucked in the grounds of the vineyard, beautiful setting and garden, fabulous restaurant (make sure you book) with a personalised tour made this stay. Definitely a great location to explore wineries on bike. Only low point was the cleanliness which was not up to scratch and took away from an otherwise special stay.

A spacious old house, beautifully located, ideal for our group of 8. Make sure you get the code to open the gate, closed at night to protect the restaurant which shares the driveway! Note that the upstairs bedroom is not connected internally to the rest of the house.
