Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage. Would totally recommend and would definitely stay again. The bed was comfy, the rooms were warm, plenty of hot water. The only issue we had, and it was not too much of a problem, was we couldn't hook into the internet.

I stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every minute. Lovely rural private garden setting, quiet and very comfortable accommodation. Spotlessly clean! There is wifi available but I didn't need it as my Vodafone connection was surprisingly good. Will definitely look to stay again on future trips to the HB.

Omaranui Cottage

This property delivered exactly as advertised. Idyllic semi-rural setting and cute abode which was provisioned well. Plenty of outdoor space with a couple of chickens running around and a concrete swimming pool which would have been a boon for hot days. Would highly recommmend and intend to return.

Serene and gorgeous

We just loved our stay at Melissa’s cottage. Sitting on the veranda looking out across the garden, to where the sheep grazed, green hills in the distance, was tranquility itself. The cottage was stylish, welcoming and well equipped. We were so glad we opted to stay here. It was only a short trip into Napier but was a lovely retreat from the bustle. Also loved our dinner at the nearby pub. Thank you Melissa!

Concert Weekend for the concert that never happened ( Rod Stewart )

We were very impressed with the Cottage, I am guessing that like the main house, it is a Heritage Cottage and if so has been modernized and set up to a high standard. Very quiet and private, an ideal getaway for a couple, within 5 minutes of the outskirts of Napier makes it a handy location for most activities

The property is great but Bookabach is poor

The billing was inaccurate and difficult to understand. I don't understand why I have to pay the full price some time (is it two weeks) before. I will avoid Bookabach when possible.

Awesome escape

The cottage and surroundings were stunning. The pool was a life-saver after super hot Hawkes Bay days and local bike rides. Wish we could have stayed longer than our 2 nights.
