Overview
Annandale is a luxurious coastal farm retreat tucked between the rolling hills of the Banks Peninsula and the Pacific waters. The hotel combines the charm of rural life with the comforts of modern living in a secluded area, ensuring your privacy. The property's strategic location provides a peaceful city escape and proximity to Pigeon Bay Walk, a popular attraction in the area.
The four luxury villas at Annandale, each with its own distinct charm, provide an exciting selection of accommodation types for you to choose from. The ultra-modern Seascape features a turf roof, stone walls, and a glass facade, which offer unobstructed views of the outside waters where you might see dolphins. If you prefer historical properties, opt for The Homestead, which dates back to 1880. This luxurious 5-bedroom villa has five baths, multiple shaded verandahs, spacious living and dining areas, a fireplace, a separate dining room, and a library. All rooms are located upstairs and offer unobstructed views of the natural surroundings while the interior spaces draw inspiration from the serene environment, with wooden beams, carpeted floors, and plush furnishing to create a luxurious yet cozy setting. You can also choose other accommodation types, such as Shepherd's Cottage, Scrubby Bay, and The Stables.
To further enhance your stay at Annandale, take a dip in the 20-meter heated swimming pool or unwind in the 40-degree spa pool when you're in the mood for some relaxation. If you prefer a more intense workout, visit the property's tennis court or fully-equipped gym. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in sustainable farming practices while on a 4,000-acre farm home to cattle and sheep. When it comes to dining, Annandale provides fresh local produce, which you can enjoy whether you choose a private chef or have your meals delivered directly to your villa.
