(Click from 360p to 480p once it’s playing for higher quality)

Homewood Stoves is a family business that designs and builds solid cast-iron wood stoves for cooking and heating. We are the only cast-iron wood stove manufacturers in New Zealand and our stoves go all over New Zealand and out to many of the close islands.

It’s very important to us that our stoves are of the very highest quality - they are hand-assembled from the finest materials and finished to the highest possible standard – and that they have a positive impact on the environment.

Our stoves, which are 100% New Zealand made, are for people who want an environmentally friendly, efficient and cost-effective way to keep their home warm, to heat their water and to cook great food!

The Homewood Cabin
