The homestead was designed by local architect Max Edridge whose brief was to 'create a large country home that connected harmoniously with the landscape'. He has succeeded. Westwood was a (top category) national 'House of the Year' award winner. Westwood can sleep seven people in all, it has three (superking/twin) bedrooms, and one single. Three with ensuites, one with private bathroom. The solar heated in-ground swimming pool is a most welcome feature on a hot summers day. Breakfast alfresco by the pool and take in the wonderful view over the pond and gardens to the Tararua Ranges.
