| Welcome to the peace and tranquillity of Westwood, luxury accommodation in the heart of historic Greytown, New Zealand. |
||||||||||||||||
| Westwood is a wonderful country experience, just a short stroll away from the cafes and shops of Greytown. You enter down a winding drive past a huge formal Italian-inspired herb garden and there it is. This beautiful homestead is set amongst landscaped gardens, graced by mature trees and a stunning mountain vista. Once you have settled in and had a good look around it will dawn on you what a relaxing time is in store. Everywhere you look the attention to detail and the pure quality of the place is evident. Jill Kemp, Westwood's warm and hospitible owner, will encourage you to feel at home and enjoy the experience of Westwood. Westwood now offers relaxation therapy with Belinda Ward. Originally from Melbourne, Belinda moved to Greytown last year. She has completed a Certificate in Therapeutic Massage at The Wellington School of Massage Therepy and now specialises in relaxation massage. Why not cap off a memorable weekend with a blissful relaxing massage. Please click here to read the article about Westwood by Dominion Post writer Nick Barnett. |
