Great place to stay

The location is great, between Hastings and Napier, right near the beach. The garden and interior are excellent and reflect the effort put into it. I will absolutely stay here again if the possibility arises.

Gardens are amazing. Go through the back gate and you are a short step away to cycle/walkway alongside the Clive River and then onto the beach. If you are lucky enough you will see the local seals. Very enjoyable walk and friendly locals who are happy to stop and chat about conservation and recovery of wetlands following cyclone.Central to everything in the Hawkes bay and a short walk to the local pub. Great pizzas. Would definitely stay again.
