Pleasant Stay

We found the setting relaxing and very pretty, with a lot of flowers and an open green lawn area. Di and Matthew were excellent hosts, generous with season-ripe golden queens and apples.

The most amazing week

This property is wonderful if you want to relax and enjoy the surroundings of the berry farm. The owners Matthew, and Di can’t do enough for you, including cleaning the grill every time you use it and providing big bowls of apples and fresh fruit. I would recommend this to anybody who wants peace and quiet for the convenience of being in the Hawkes Bay area.

Great place to rest and relax!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Berry Farm, it was quiet and peaceful and the hosts really helped to make our stay special. The property was clean and nicely appointed, had everything that you could use for an extended stay. We enjoyed strolling around the property and watched the wildlife in the nearby pond.For activities, we went to Te Mata Peak to take pictures of the sunset, fed the Penguins at the nearby National Aquarium of New Zealand, went to the Strawberry Patch for local fruits & vegetables, went on a wine tasting at the Linden Estate Winery in Napier and went into nearby Hastings for dinner & groceries.The hosts were kind enough to provide-us with many apples and we had an opportunity to pick raspberries from their garden. Great place to rest and relax!

Not quite what I expected

I did not expect to be so in the thick of daily operations as I was at Berry Farm. The accommodation backs on to the berry shop and is attached to the owner's home. I found it noisy with all the comings and goings when I was trying for a retreat. I think the name is misleading. Di and Matthew are lovely hosts and made me very welcome.
