Set in the Mid-Canterbury countryside, only 10 minutes from Ashburton, Hemsworth Estate is a historic 1911 Homestead four generations of the Guinness family called home (to present day) and New Zealand’s inaugural Hampshire Sheep Stud. Meticulously restored, it now stands as a testament to a legacy of four generations.

We’ve been a woman-owned & operated operation for the past 35+ years, and now led by a dedicated same-sex couple Rebecca and Jema.

We offer luxury accommodation (including dog-friendly options), High Tea, Private Events, Elopements, Weddings, & a selection of unforgettable themed events. 

We’d love to host you for your next special occaision.
