CENTREWOOD ESTATE'S ROMANTIC HISTORY
On 22nd March 1871, Alpheus Hayes was on the Greenock docks in Glasgow about to embark on his return voyage to his home country, Nova Scotia Canada, when he noticed a passenger boat called the "Wild Deer". The boat was due to depart and destined for the distant shores of New Zealand. On the spur of the moment Alpheus tossed a coin which resulted in him taking a 3 month voyage to New Zealand. During the voyage, Alpheus met and fell in love with his future wife Anna Groves. He promised that one day he would build her a beautiful house with an extensive garden - and Centrewood is the result of that promise. Now in the 5th generation, the legacy of Alpheus Hayes and his promise, lives on.
