Ashburton Wedding Venue and Luxury Accomodation

We all deserve a moment where time stands still.

So many of our best moments rush on by without pause.

Welcome to Hemsworth Estate.  Set in the shelter of centennial trees, Hemsworth Estate is an Edwardian Villa that offers its guests a unique and welcoming experience.  Home to New Zealand’s first Hampshire Sheep Stud, it has been lovingly restored with luxury accommodation, romantic gardens and the ability to step back in time.  In its seclusion, you’ll experience the distinct feeling of time slipping away as you explore the estate.  Hemsworth combines the nostalgia of the past with the modern comforts of the present – the very best of both worlds.

Step foot inside Hemsworth Estate. We aim to extend those moments where memories can be made.

Stay

From the moment of arrival, Hemsworth Estate opens its doors wide and spares no expense in welcoming its guests.

High Tea

A decadent experience for the taste buds filled with nostalgic tradition and quality finishings, and of course, fresh scones.
