Good Place to Stay

The property is easy to find and in a pleasant area near Havelock North. The property was clean and comfortable. If you intend staying more than two night note there is nowhere to hang clothes. We would stay there again.

Great rural setting but close to town

A Hawke's Bay classic amongst the orchards and a short drive to Havelock North. We chose it because we could have our little dog there too. We would stay again.

Cosy and central to Havelock North

We had a lovely weekend in Havelock North. Appreciated being able to bring our small dog with us! The bnb was clean and cosy and set on the owners lovely garden. It did get quite hot in the Hawkes Bay summer sun! We bought a fan but even this wasnt enough!

Nice spot

This is a really quiet and nice spot. I loved how the sunrise floods the room in the morning. It was cosy, warm, and well cared for. Thanks also for pulling the blinds down before I got in at the end of each day. That was a nice extra touch which kept the room warm and welcoming!

Hawks Bay Getaway

Loving the country lifestyle block where the cabin is set. Only a few minutes from Havelock North town centre by car. This is a thriving centre with great coffee from the Work Room cafe. Giant micro brewery a hit for dinner. Hosts were awesome and had a lovely chat. We did not see a lot of them after chatting so felt welcomed and also like we had space. The studio cabin is quite self sufficient and pet friendly.
