Festive Getaway

The properry was as seen in the pictures. We were impressed with the cleanliness, as well as the little details, such as the underfloor heating and heated towel rails in the bathroom. It was spacious enough for our family of four. It is close to most attractions in and around Hastings.

Very nice

We were pleasantly surprised at not only how nicely this older home had been renovated, but also how much attention to detail the host had taken. They even had tissues, something we find most hosts neglect. Well recommended.

Exquisite!

We had the best stay here! The house is beautiful and cozy—I honestly wish my house looked like this (especially the bathroom). It was easy to find and all instructions were clearly laid out (with photos). I’d give this one 10 stars if I could. I hope to make it back some day!

Fantastic! Highly recommend 👏🏽

Fantastic stay for our long weekend! Coming home after a long days of Squash and a few beers to a nice cosy place! Walking into a pre warmed house on a cold winters night on our first day was the best first impression! We loved the small thoughtful complimentry gifts and it was warm and cozy!

Clean, tidy and great location for exploring Hawkes Bay

Perfect spot for our family of four and our little dog. Shona and Jason were great to deal with and always prompt in their replies to our inquiries and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Wonderful, friendly hosts. We really appreciated them ensuring the property was fully fenced for our little dog, so we could relax while she was exploring outside. Was lovely having treats for us to enjoy in the fridge on our arrival. Games room with table tennis table and skateboard were a huge hit! Really close to all our favourite destinations in havelock north and great access to the rest of Hawkes Bay. We would stay again.
