About this property

Louisa Cottage Private with All Round Rural Views

This cottage is conveniently located near to Havelock North and Hastings, being only 5 minutes from Havelock North and less than 15 minutes from Hastings city centre. It is built within a 2 hectare (five acre) lifestyle block, being about 100 metres distance from the main residence. It is very private, has extensive rural views and is set within nicely maintained grounds. The Louisa Stream (hence the cottage name) runs nearby, and parents of young children must provide necessary supervision. Please note: WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS OLD, SO DO NOT COUNT THEM AS A GUEST. The cottage is not suitable for wheelchair access.
Thre is a secure floor safe suitable for passports, cash, valuables etc. Please ask if you want a key to this safe.
The cottage enjoys all day sun, with both a North and a West facing deck. There is a stunning view south towards Mount Erin, and because there is little light pollution, the night sky is spectacular.
There is a large hedge separating the cottage grounds from the adjoining property, which is planted with vegetables.
The owners have pet hens and a rooster. If the hens co-operate (they are rather temperamental) they may produce some eggs for our guests! The birds are about 60 metres distance from the cottage. There is other birdlife around, including Pukekos who can screech at night.

Special conditions:
Guests must set our intruder alarm to armed when they are out.
We do not want any smoking on our property.
The decks are only about 400mm high, but have no railing so may not be suitable for small children unless supervised.
No pets.

Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);

Louisa Cottage is the complete package - a relaxing environment that was very comfortable and easy to be in. Extraordinarily supplied with provisions and treats. It was lovely to look out on green on every side and hear nothing but birds around us. Delightful shower and great bed.

Peaceful cottage stay

The cottage was perfect for our needs. We appreciated the peacefulness and the beautiful views from the cottage. The cottage itself was very spacious and comfy with plenty of spaces to relax. Julie and Eddie were very welcoming and friendly and extremely generous with their included provisions. We particularly enjoyed the homemade soup and muesli! We also appreciated the early check-in. Highly recommend this cottage.

Wonderful stay with Julie and Eddie

We recently stayed with Julie and Eddie in their cottage. We were only there for the weekend, as we had a friend’s wedding to attend. We wished we had stayed longer. Julie and Eddie are some of the nicest people we have ever met. Their property is spectacular. The photos do not do it justice. The cottage was clean, warm and had ample space for 4+ people. It has great amenities, comfy beds, ample bedding and linen and is surround by beautiful landscapes. Eddie went over and above to make us feel welcome. He stocked the fridge with butter, jam, eggs, yoghurt, milk and juice. We even had a sampler of cheese and biscuits and some of Julie’s delicious granola mix and preserved plums. We felt so spoiled and cannot thank Julie and Eddie enough for their hospitality, especially when Eddie provided a ride for us to the wedding in his own car, at no additional cost. They are both such warm, genuine people. This isn’t a cottage, it is a home away from home. We will definitely return again for a much needed break. Do not hesitate, book this cottage and see for yourself. Natalie and Mark.

Very lovely friendly owners who went out of their way to provide most delicious Gluten free food. Cottage has beautiful furniture and great equipment and was most spacious for our stay for the two of us. Grounds are peaceful and restful with beautiful trees as well as being good driving distance to shops. We arrived on a rainy day and uncovered front steps makes it not the best unlocking. We found the main bed a little uncomfortable.

Girls weekender

My girlfriend and I met up from either ends of the island for a catch up. Louisa Cottage was perfect. Excellent location for the village, the shops, restaurants and the vineyards. Julie and Eddie are on hand for any queries and Julie’s home made produce is delicious. The chickens were generous with their eggs! The house is very well equipped, warm and spotless. Next visit already planned for summer.
