The cottage was perfect for our requirements, basically a comfortable place to sleep, facilities to prepare basic breakfast, clean and comfortable, It's proximity to Havelock North and Hastings suited our requirements. We would definitely stay again and it was well priced.No pool but had to rate this when submitting hence the one star.

Comfy getaway

A cosy attractive haven. Had to change my booking and Murray the host was very accommodating. Private, (though close to the main home) with cute outdoor area. Really enjoyed my stay.

Murrray was nice and gave very simple instructions. I was only here for a night, but he made self check in and check out super easy. the cottage itself was lovely and more spacious than I thought. So close to town and convenient if you are looking to visit Napier.

Perfect

A cute little one bedroom property placed in a small country farm yet very close to Havelock North. All mod cons provided. Great quiet place to rest if you are into exploring everything in the Hastings Napier Havelock North Area. Murray was very helpful.

Cozy country cottage

My husband and I had a great 4 night stay. Our hosts were excellent with communication. Very peaceful location with the sounds of birds chirping in the morning. Easy access to all the wineries that Hawke's Bay has to offer. We would happily book this very sweet, comfy cozy cottage.
