Waiohika…a stunning family estate 10 minutes outside the surf town of Gisborne on the North Island’s east coast. We have been lucky to stumble upon Lesley Witters, the one-woman wonder responsible for this piece of historical paradise with its vineyards and gardens.
The house, built in the 1920s, and grounds have been featured in a number of books on New Zealand architecture specifically because the designer was heavily influenced by the American Great Frank Lloyd Wright.
