This was a great place for our swim team, the kitchen was big enough to cook for 12. Everything was easy and it had everything we needed.

It was very comfortable and really suited our group of adults. It was close to the local cafes and amenities. There are plenty of beds, so lots of sleeping options and lots of comfortable chairs and sofas
Absolutely fantastic - convenient location, fabulous house and amenities and easy entry access. Had a brief power cut but found matches so were able to light candles so wasn't a problem. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
House was wonderful and perfectly clean and spacious. Kitchen floor was very slippery and also couldn’t find any tea towels.
Otherwise absolutely amazing

Fantastic property for a large group or family.
Havelock North town two mins walk.
Comfortable facilities with everything you need.
Good indoor and outdoor options.
Gas bottle ran out first night and due to heating and water being gas it made for a frustrating hour or two, however bookabach and the property manager sorted the problem and provided a replacement gas bottle within about 90 mins - no harm done (and thanks for the prompt fix)
We celebrated a family birthday and invited Children and Grandchildren to stay. The property was great with good bedroom and bathroom configuration. The kitchen and open plan dining and lounge are excellent spaces.
Property is well located within easy walking distance to Village shops and restaurants etc.
Only downside for us was the listing said BBQ and this does not exist which was extremely disappointing. We would have made other food choices if we had known.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a rating and are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. We would be pleased to welcome you back again.
