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);

We had such a wonderful stay! Loved the cottage and large outdoor area for our son to play

Julie and Eddie were incredible hosts. They provided so many homely touches that made our stay perfect. We travelled with our one year old and he loved the big flat lawn and visiting the chickens each afternoon. The location is great, so close to havelock north yet feels very private and in the country. We will definitely be back!

Lovely cozy cottage!

We had a fantastic 3-night stay in Eddie and Julie's cottage. They made such kind accommodations for our baby and toddler, including setting up a portacot and high chair. The cottage is full of thoughtful touches, and the bed is very comfy! Lovely peaceful setting in beautiful grounds. Thanks Eddie and Julie!

A hidden Paradise

This is a beautiful presented home, it's not a bach, or converted building, this is a home, the Louisa House is just that, with everything you need on arrival and settle in for your stay. With fresh produce from the owners who show you round on arrival and make you feel special to share this experience. If you have never been and looking for a little get away would well recommend. We will be booking again for our next trip to Hawkes Bay.

Long weekend in Hawkes bay

A friend and I came up to play at a 3 day Bridge tournament. We were very happy here, very comfortable beds, quiet surroundings and wonderful produce that the hosts and provided. Would definitely come again. The place is close to Havelock North and the autumn leaves on this beautiful property were gorgeous. Thanks so much Julie and Eddie.

A perfect stay for family

Was travelling with mum - this amazing property met every need and more. Hosts were lovely and so accommodating, especially with our unintentional late arrival. They were attentive to all our needs while still giving us our space. The homemade/grown goodies an exra treat. It was lovely to open the curtains each day to see little critters exploring their world outside - rabbits, doves, ducks, quail, hovering hawkes. The setting was very private and quiet, the photos just don't do it justice. The house is refreshingly modern in an English elegance style - it felt like "home" the moment we stepped through the door. Loved the vase of fresh roses that were in full bloom on the property. Highly recommend, will be staying again in the future :)

Louisa Cottage is a cosy 'home away from home' with everything imaginable on hand to make the stay great. The bed was comfy and the sun shone into the cottage from morning when I had breakfast at the table until late afternoon when I could lounge on the couch. Julie, the host, was incredibly friendly and helpful. Thank you for everything.
Cottage on a sunny winter's day.
Dining area so light and airy.
