Welcome to Appleby House
& Rabbit Island Huts

There are shared facilities on site, and we ask that people respect others, some people will be comfortable mixing in the shared spaces, and some will not, we ask that you think of other people and respect their feelings.

We want to enjoy our guests and for our guests to enjoy our property – we feel if everyone is aware of other people’s feelings, and respect each other and be kind then we can all enjoy these spaces

If you do have concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us

This Property is set on 25 acres Waimea Plains land with 360 degree views of the Mt Arthur ranges, Richmond Hills and the Waimea Estuary.

Watch the sun rise in the East and set in the West, a peaceful, tranquil property set in a natural environment. Appleby House is a large, modern contemporary home that offers everything you need in a home away from home. Rabbit Island Huts and Rabbit Island Glamping is a little bit hotel, little bit glamping and a little bit traditional kiwi camping.

Designed and managed for guests to enjoy the best of our little part of New Zealand. Suited for a weekend stay or for groups who want to hire the full property for weddings, corporate & wellness retreats, family reunions and special occasions.
