Lovely, comfortable home. Very close walk to town shops and restaurants. Friendly cat. Nice open space living. Room for two cars. Friendly neighbours. Easy access and good communication. Thank you we enjoyed our stay here.
We had the delight of staying at the lodge again, and, thoroughly enjoyed the facility, the animals, the fruit and the hospitality shown by the owners. Highly recommended.
Ryan communicated well, the house was very roomy and would be great for a larger group, walking distance from the town centre, large kitchen and nice sitting areas.
Lovely property with generous living and dining and outdoor decks. Comfortable bedrooms and bathroom facilities. Very central - easy walk to Havelock North shops & restaurants. Quiet and picturesque outlook. Highly recommended.
The house is very versatile with lots of gathering spaces indoors and out. The spa is a real bonus. It is located well for the HN village and beyond. Jasper the cat was a lovely addition
Great space for a group of friends. Lots of outdoor spots to relax and catch the sun. Watch the couch in the lounge- it’s so comfy you’ll find it hard to leave.
Hosts were lovely and very accommodating- highly recommended.
Property was in an excellent location. Walking distance to HN township. We were there for the annual Craggy Range Deep Purple day so walking distance to our pick up as well. The house had everything we needed. Ryan and Stacey's communications were excellent. They did have to come back to the house because the kids forgot/needed items but they communicated very well and were not intrusive. Great hosts.
Place was great, very handy to shops. Could have been a bit cleaner but since the owners had only just returned from overseas a few days before they wouldn't have had a lot of time to do it. Jasper the cat was awesome! There were 6 of us staying (Was meant to be 8 but 2 got COVID and could't come) and I think 6 would be max for the access to bathrooms for a group of friends. More could stay if you didn't mind sharing an ensuite.
Space was big and plenty of room to chill out in :)
We had a lovely time with friends and family, plenty of room. We were there for a wedding and the location was very central. Great restaurants and shopping
