The Gables - historic home, fully restored

Since horse-drawn carriages passed by, this remarkable homestead has been the belle of the Waimea district. And, after a no-expense spared total restoration, it is ready to reign supreme for another century.

Constructed in 1864, this landmark has been lovingly remastered to the highest standards. The recent restoration focused on enhancing the homes vast layout and adding plentiful amenities, whilst maintaining the timeless character.

This Category 1 listed Historic Places Trust (HPT) home is a survivor of the Downton Abbey era, with distinctive triple-gables running front to rear and imposing dimensions. The majesty of the property is manifested throughout the ornately designed home. With six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and five living rooms plus study, grand scale entertaining and lavish living beckon.

The home was built for the Palmer family in 1864 whose descendants’ include former Prime Minister Sir Geoffrey Palmer. The front picket fence and a beguiling hedge maze beside the house are of the era. Inside, the house feels brand new and incredibly robust. It’s now a much warmer, more weatherproof, and comfortable place to live than ever.

The rear extension features cedar cladding, windows and doors in keeping with the home’s era, and includes kitchen with butler’s pantry, dining, living, utility room and bathroom. The beautiful kitchen has large flagstone-size floor tiles, solid oak joinery and black granite benchtops.

All six bedrooms are upstairs, five are roomy doubles and the sixth, while slightly smaller, can still fit a double bed. All bedrooms have brand new and beautifully tiled ensuite bathrooms.

While The Gables is an important historical landmark, the love and care of its restoration mean she is now also a warm and comfortable place to call home, and perfectly suited to a B&B steeped in nostalgia.
