Historic Homesteads of Hawke’s Bay

$50.00

These gracious homes – dotted across the sun-drenched uplands of Hawke’s Bay – rose unashamedly from the golden fleeces on the sheep’s backs, to become monuments to our settler heritage. Set in spacious grounds and framed by enormous exotic trees, such as oaks, gums or Norfolk pines, they stand as a testament to the dreams of our ancestors who came to this fresh canvas of a country, which already had its own rich Māori culture, with a determination to put their own individualistic mark on the landscape.

In the Shadow of the Cape

$30.00

The story of Clifton is a story of a family's deep love and connection to that land and their determination to hand it on intact and thriving to succeeding generations. Six generations of Gordons have enjoyed living there, and the seventh has just been born. Each generation has had a deep attachment to this land both through times of prosperity and success, and through struggles, droughts, floods, and economic downturns. Each has successfully maintained and improved the property to hand onto the next generation.

Famous Times: Historic Wool Sheds of Hawke’s Bay

$30.00 - SOLD OUT

The idea came to Angus Gordon, one of the owners, to delve deeper into the greater Hawke’s Bay area, which has been such a famous sheep farming area for over 160 years. This book is a photographic journey through the valleys and plains and along the dramatic coastline that was the original lifeline of the district.

From the Author

 “I loved nosing around all the other places in Hawke's Bay. It's the romance of it all. The shearing, growing up in an old house and the fun of it all."
– Angus Gordon
