About this property

Secluded Riverside Cottage set in native garden.

Escape to our beautifully presented cottage, tucked away in a peaceful native garden that you'll share with the main house. You'll have your own private outdoor area to unwind in, complete with a BBQ and chimenea to create the perfect atmosphere for a glass of wine at the end of the day.

Along with the recently renovated bathroom and kitchen area, our well-appointed cottage is fully air-conditioned, ensuring your comfort year-round. With space to accommodate up to 4 guests (though it's best suited to 2 adults), the cottage features a cozy lounge area and all the necessities you'll need to feel right at home.

Take advantage of our close proximity to the cycle trails that lead to stunning scenery and local wineries – we even have 3 bikes available for hire at just $30 per day, per bike. You're also just a short walk away from the Clive river and beach, where you can take in the breathtaking natural beauty of the area.

Stroll down to the local pub, cafe or restaurant if you don't feel like cooking, and enjoy the atmosphere of our local village.

We provide all the essentials, including linen, tea, coffee, milk, oil, salt, and pepper, and our cleaning service is included in the cost of your stay.

Please note that our cottage is not suitable for children, but we welcome adults looking for a peaceful retreat. If you have any special requests or needs during your stay, just let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

At present the outdoor bath is unavailable.

We look forward to sharing our piece of paradise with you!

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.

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.

Sue and Mark are excellent hosts and the cottage was clean and tidy and well equipped with everything we needed, plus more for our stay. We loved that we could access the cycle trail behind the cottage and the township of Clive is also very central to the wineries and Cape Kidnappers etc. We would definitely recommend and would love to come back and stay again one day. Thank you Sue and Mark

Perfect accomodation for our family weekend

Riverside Cottage is a true standout. This place is pure quality, with a prime location just north of Havelock North and Hastings, and a quick hop to Napier and Taradale. It's a five-star stay all the way, equipped with everything you could possibly need. Our host, Sue, was a legend—super helpful and made sure we were completely happy. A top-class spot for a top-class holiday!

About the host

Hosted by Sue

Host profile image
Mark and I have grown up in Hawkes Bay and have made our house in Clive our home for 30 years. The cottage was built for our 2 sons whom have now left home. We enjoy meeting people and helping them have fun so we decided to have guests to stay.

Why they chose this property

We love the rural feel of Clive, and it's close proximity to town if you need to pop in for something. The native garden is our sanctuary and we enjoy all the bird life it brings.

What makes this property unique

Situated between Napier and Hastings this property is in the heart of Bay. Local wineries and cycle tracks make this place unique. Scenic rural feel, and only 10 mins from a city.
