Greytown's oldest commercial building is up for sale
A landmark of Greytown’s Main Street is steeped in the history of one of New Zealand’s earliest colonial towns.
Now Briarwood luxury homestay, it is the oldest commercial building in the South Wairarapa town and has had many lives.
Built in 1867, its first role was as a shop for cabinetmaker Charles Hornblow. It remained in the family for several generations and has served as everything from a boarding house to tearooms, a restaurant and a pub.
Sotheby’s Realty agent Brady Bingham said they expected to sell the “trophy” property for around $1.6 million but that price could vary depending on market conditions.
