Thought to have been built in the 1830 s for Master Mariner Richard Smith, who hailed from New Zealand and traversed the globe, it is named after one of the great ocean-going Maori canoes that carried the Polynesians to New Zealand 800 years ago, and its ownership can be traced as far back as 1915 in the original deeds.
The Property Tainui has been carefully restored, with great attention to detail, to provide generous and flexible accommodation over four floors that is sympathetic to the era, and retains as much of the home s personality and period feel as possible.
