Thanks Tiri We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and made it home safely. Thanks for the feed back regarding coffee pod machine :) we have since added a plunger filter and good quality instant coffee options.

About the host

Hosted by Jeremy Lawson

Host profile image
I was born in Wellington but moved to Hawke’s Bay when I was five and have been here ever since, I am now married to my wife Katie and we have a young called Lochie and a terrier/shitzu cross dog called Timmy!

Why they chose this property

I love our warm sunny days, our landscape of vineyards, Pacific Ocean, mountain ranges, rivers and lots of greenery

What makes this property unique

I like it how it is so close to the heart of Havelock North where you will find some outstanding restaurants, winery’s and cafes. We are also close to cape kidnappers home to the largest gannet colony in the southern hemisphere and an incredible golf course, and Te Mata peak our mountain the sleeping giant, with the Tuki Tuki river and craggy range winery on the other side.
