Great for kids and lovely property and location

The hosts we very welcoming. The kids had a ball as the property is rural (semi) so loads to do. Ian and Jo were super helpful with the kids (finding bikes and scooters for them and fresh farm eggs for breakfast). Lots of room - great location - close to Havelock, Te Mata Peak - gorgeous in the Autumn

Spacious comfortable and quiet

Large private home and garden on the outskirts of Havelock, the guest area is the original 1970s portion of the house and is starting to look a bit tired but, on the upside the rooms (and the hosts' provisions) are enormously generous. The gardens (with swimming pool and tennis court) are superb and the nearby walking track to Te Mata walking tracks are undergoing an upgrade.
