The house dates back to 1895 when James Miller bought 100 acres in the centre of Onewhero village. The property has over 5 hectares (12 acres) of grounds and guests can enjoy walking in the gardens, or wandering through the 1.5 hectares of mature native bush with its spring fed stream, native pigeons, Pukekos, Tuis and range of beautiful ancient trees.
Croquet and Petanque can be set up on the old tennis court for those wishing to just soak up the atmosphere, or there is a large range of local attractions and activities, good bike rides, surfing at Port Waikato, caving at Nikau Caves, motorsport at Pukekohe just to mention a few. Miller House also offers complimentary ULTRA FAST FIBRE Broadband with your stay. More of the local and regional attractions easily accessible from Miller House are listed on the Local Attractions page.
The property has beef cattle, frizzle bantams, Ned the farm dog, pheasants and the usual measure of rabbits, for which Baz the cat is employed, (he “works cheap” and he won’t bother you, so your total privacy is assured).
Bird song, and elegant calm all within easy reach of your next destination.
