Excellent views in perfect location

A great place for our two night stay in Havelock. Everything we needed was provided and it is a very comfortable and spacious cottage. Great location - just a short walk to town and the mail boat wharf. Would definitely stay here again when we are back in the region. No hesitation in recommending Bora Castle
