Amazing property and host. Best holiday home we have had in Hawkes Bay. Beautiful and clean, lots of space and nice touches by a thoughtful and caring host.
We had the best stay here! The house is beautiful and cozy—I honestly wish my house looked like this (especially the bathroom). It was easy to find and all instructions were clearly laid out (with photos). I’d give this one 10 stars if I could. I hope to make it back some day!
Excellent property, clean, well resourced, quiet, and really appreciated the complimentary milk/juice/wine! Was exactly what we were looking for during our time in Hawkes Bay. Highly recommend.
The properry was as seen in the pictures. We were impressed with the cleanliness, as well as the little details, such as the underfloor heating and heated towel rails in the bathroom. It was spacious enough for our family of four. It is close to most attractions in and around Hastings.
Fantastic stay for our long weekend! Coming home after a long days of Squash and a few beers to a nice cosy place! Walking into a pre warmed house on a cold winters night on our first day was the best first impression!
We loved the small thoughtful complimentry gifts and it was warm and cozy!
Perfect perfect perfect. Thank you!
Had a fantastic stay at this property. Everything was super easy and the house was great. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay and would definitely stay here again.
This was a perfect base for us to have a much overdue family catch up.
The house was immaculate and well equipped.
A very private property, close to town and amenities
Thanks to Shona and Jason for accommodating our covid driven changes
Process was super easy. Great communication. Beautiful house, felt like our home away from home. Cute lottle bottle of wine and choccys, everything was great. Thanks so much. Look forward to coming back
