Awesome base for the Mission Concert

This is a lovely, almost rural, property in Havelock North where we stayed for the Mission Concert. Karen was helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed - and our only regret is that we couldn't have stayed a little longer! Great outdoor spaces too and we especially enjoyed a casual lunch on the deck before the concert. Highly recommend this spot!

Fabulous property! So private and perfect location

The property is clean and tidy. We had no hassle looking for something in kitchen because everything was there! (We use many different bach every year and some has poor preps which really annoys me) The house is clean and feels safe to just lie down!! Location is perfect as four square is nearby, the property is at a very private place with amazing view. Air conditioning works perfectly. Only compliments i can leave for comments.. thanks Karen! We had 100% satisfaction there! Recommend recommend recommend..

A special home in a remarkable location

This is such a special holiday home. We highly recommend this for a family stay in beautiful Hawkes Bay. Plenty of space for four adults and two children under 10, and our hosts have gone above and beyond to make this a special stay.

Perfect

Clean and modern, only 10 minutes from Craggy Range and 10 minutes from Havelock North shopping centre, in a quiet location with great views. We were 2 couples and 3 singles all up for a wedding at Craggy Range. Everything we needed was here, and the experience was seamless. We would definitely use this property again if the need arose.

Girls weekend stay

Lovely home, hospitable host. It was a fantastic place to stay for a girls weekend away. Very warm house but would be lovely in summer when you could open the doors and enjoy eating outside.
