You've been very helpful with mentioning the name of the estate where the exteriors of Robin's Nest were filmed in the original Magnum, P.I.. Did they only film the exteriors of the Anderson Estate, and not the interiors? Hawaii Five-O definitely filmed inside the house there, whereas the interiors on Magnum, P.I. were done (I think) on studio sets. I could be wrong, but I'm sure I read it somewhere. The very last episode of Hawaii Five-O, "Woe to Wo Fat" filmed in some of the interiors of the Anderson Estate. This filming location has been used several times so far in what I've re-watched of Hawaii Five-O.
Regarding the original Magnum, P.I., from the discussion I've read on here for both the North American Blu-ray release by Mill Creek and the UK Blu-ray release by Fabulous Films, after weighing up the positives and negatives, I'm likely going to eventually get the UK release. Then when I've finished re-watching the twelfth and final season of Hawaii Five-O, I'll start re-watching Magnum, P.I.

All the Magnum episodes used a soundstage for Robin's Nest, except for the Pilot episode and the 'China Doll' episode. Both of those episodes were filmed inside one of the locations used for exterior shots of the King Kamehameha Club.
The Hawaii Five-O crew was granted permission to film inside the Anderson Estate for various episodes by Eve Anderson herself. When the property went up for sale several years ago, Zillow and Realtor.com included various interior photographs of the mansion, including a picture of the bedroom where Akamai's body is discovered.
