Our Story
Welcome to Lavender Hill, nestled just 35 minutes from downtown Auckland, where our online shop offers a glimpse into our vibrant farm life. While our main site showcases our luxurious accommodation, craft distillery, and seasonal farm tours, this platform is dedicated to our natural products, nearly all cultivated and created right here on our farm.
At Lavender Hill, sustainable farming isn't just a practice—it's a way of life. We meticulously hand-harvest and maintain a spray-free environment for all our products. For items we don’t produce onsite, like our specialized lavender hand creams, we partner with boutique artisans across New Zealand who share our commitment to quality.
Our range includes lavender oils, manuka oils, gins, and olive oils, all crafted from ingredients grown on our farm. Our dedicated steam still allows us to produce essential oils not only for ourselves but also for farms across Auckland and Waikato. Whether it’s lavender oil, manuka oil, or hydrosol, we’re here to meet your processing needs—just reach out to us.
A proud addition to our family is "Little Lottie," a 150-litre craft gin still. As part of our commitment to sustainable farming, Little Lottie operates off our solar array and uses only natural rainwater in distillation. Hand-bottled in small batches, our award-winning gins, infused with botanicals sourced fresh from our farm, have found homes in top-quality restaurants Auckland Duty Free and customers in all parts of New Zealand.
Our current gin offerings include:
- London Dry Gin
- Lavender Gin
- Saffron Gin
- Sloe Gin (seasonal)
- Smoked Honey Gin
- And a delightful Limoncello made with traditional Yen Ben lemons.
If you would like to do more than shop online, please explore our gin tours, tastings, and contract manufacturing options—simply get in touch to arrange your visit or discuss your production needs.
Thank you for supporting our small New Zealand business.
