Beautiful little cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Dewdrop Cottage. It is clean, cozy and comfortable, a real home away from home. Fabulous hosts who let our daughter ride one of their horses. We will definitely be back.

A large group of myself and friends stayed here, it was great and spacious! Had a swim in the pool when it was hot. Hosts are friendly and accommodating. Short drive to Havelock North. We stayed here for the purpose of going to Nest Fest as well which was a short taxi ride away which was great.

Cozy house in a very nice area!

Cozy house in a very nice area! Went for walks with the little ones and they enjoyed the dog, the horses and the apple farm! Very nice to have games and toys in the house! Everything you need of kitchen equipment and such is provided. Felt very welcome when the owner came with fruit and showed us everything in the house. Thank you!

Dew drop cottage We spent 5 fantastic days at the cottage! The house is lovely and has all modern comforts, including a large bathtub, Netflix and air conditioning. The orchard and gardens are great for young children to run around in and have fun – and the horses are very friendly! We were very lucky to spend some time with Wendy and her family who made us feel welcome from the get-go and were full of good advice regarding what to do in the Bay. We really can’t recommend the cottage enough!
