Lovely position in leafy quiet area

We were a group of 4 x 40 year olds. The house has a lovely private deck with sun shades overlooking the reserve, with a large table and comfortable chairs. The area is very quiet and the cats and chickens were lovely!

Restful visit to family in Havelock North

This accommodation was a wonderful find. Large property with plenty of space. Had everything we needed. Lovely outside deck for the cooler nights complete with BBQ. Fresh chicken eggs and a complimentary pot of honey from the bee hives on the property. Communication was superb and Carrie made everything so easy. The family cats were delightful and the highlight of the visit ! We would love to come back

Amazing family home

Such an amazing property for our family to stay over Easter. Great place for kids - our 3yr old loved the chickens, the treehouse, the swings and the massive bush garden to explore and play in every day. Our 10month old crawled around the deck and had a great time climbing the stairs too. Lots of room for everyone and just the best place to have a happy Hawkes bay holiday. Will definitely be booking again!
