About the host
Hosted by Adrian
I’m local to Hawke’s Bay and make the house available when it’s not in use. It’s a relaxed, practical place that suits families and groups, and I aim to make the stay as easy and comfortable as possible. I’m nearby if needed, but happy to give guests their space.
Why they chose this property
Havelock North has a great village feel, with walking tracks, parks, and green spaces I enjoy regularly. It’s a quiet spot, but still well located for reaching the beach or exploring the rest of Hawke’s Bay. I like the slower pace, but there’s always something nearby if you want it.
What makes this property unique
The house is spacious, private, and easy to settle into. It’s peaceful and quiet here, ideal for groups wanting room to relax and spend time together. It’s not overly styled, but it’s clean, comfortable, and set up with everything you need for a simple, enjoyable stay.
