The perfect location to start your Hauraki Rail Trail adventure. Corbett House is conveniently located within Hikutaia township, with the rail trail only 100 metres away. Corbett House is the perfect centre point for a one way day trip along the rail trail.
Come and enjoy a two night stay at our heritage homestead. We offer a one way shuttle, secure car parking and bike storage with charging facilities. Stay your first night in our largest room, the Kauri room with ensuite. In the morning after a scrumptious cooked breakfast, your host David will shuttle you and your bikes to a drop off point on the trail either at Waihi, Te Aroha, Paeroa, Thames or Kaiaua. After you ride back to Corbett House enjoy some refreshments or a platter (see below for details) in our historic homestead or picturesque gardens. Our swimming pool and cedar hot tub are also available to soak those tired muscles. In the evening you can also enjoy the ambience of the billiard room with a game of pool or snooker (or challenge David to a game). Also enjoy a wine or beer on our upstairs balcony watching the sunset.
