About this property

Louisa Cottage Private with All Round Rural Views

This cottage is conveniently located near to Havelock North and Hastings, being only 5 minutes from Havelock North and less than 15 minutes from Hastings city centre. It is built within a 2 hectare (five acre) lifestyle block, being about 100 metres distance from the main residence. It is very private, has extensive rural views and is set within nicely maintained grounds. The Louisa Stream (hence the cottage name) runs nearby, and parents of young children must provide necessary supervision. Please note: WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS OLD, SO DO NOT COUNT THEM AS A GUEST. The cottage is not suitable for wheelchair access.
Thre is a secure floor safe suitable for passports, cash, valuables etc. Please ask if you want a key to this safe.
The cottage enjoys all day sun, with both a North and a West facing deck. There is a stunning view south towards Mount Erin, and because there is little light pollution, the night sky is spectacular.
There is a large hedge separating the cottage grounds from the adjoining property, which has in the past been an apple orchard but the tree were removed in late 2022. It has not been replanted to date (August 2023).
The owners have pet hens and a rooster. If the hens co-operate (they are rather temperamental) they may produce some eggs for our guests! The birds are about 60 metres distance from the cottage. There is other birdlife around, including Pukekos who can screech at night.

Special conditions:
Guests must set our intruder alarm to armed when they are out.
We do not want any smoking on our property.
The decks are only about 400mm high, but have no railing so may not be suitable for small children unless supervised.
No pets.

Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);

property exceeded expectations. Hosts provided a lot of extras which we did not expect and were very grateful for as we arrived later in the day. Hosts went over and above what you could expect in a top hotel. We would definitely like to come back. Hosts were very nice and accomodating. If there was a higher rating we would give it.

Excellent!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this cottage. I don't think the pictures do it justice really. The cottage is surrounded by a large garden, and it's immaculate, tastefully decorated, and larger than the impression given by the pictures. Perhaps the tall ceilings in the kitchen/dining/lounge areas makes the space feel large. The kitchen is fully equipped with every kitchen item you'd require, and the owners very thoughtfully provided a ton of pantry items for our use. This cottage works great for a couple or a small family with plenty of space for everyone. Owners were super friendly in person, and we really enjoyed our conversations with them. Excellent follow-up on all online communications in advance of arrival for a stress-free experience. We'd love to return again, and I'd rate this property more than 5/5 if it was possible to do so!

Absolutely loved our stay at the Louisa cottage. The photos really don't do justice to the gorgeous surroundings and lush all day sun. Very private down the back of the property, plenty of grassy areas, and lovely back deck to make the most of the Hawkes Bay arvo sun. The trip was made even more special by Julie and Eddie who are super friendly and amazingly generous leaving delicious home-made muesli, fresh eggs, cheese, crackers... the list goes on. They really go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Thanks so much for having us stay at your homely cottage. Will definitely come again :)

Perfection!
Julie and Eddie are fabulous hosts. They made our stay welcoming and comfortable in every way. Eddie’s detailed introduction to the cottage, Julie’s very fine cooking, and the chooks, all made this an epic experience that has not been replicated in 30 years of our travels. My husband and I look forward to returning soon!
