Everything! Charming cottages with all the amenities we needed, and the grounds are also lovely.

Location was within walking distance to the pebble beach. Lovely and peaceful surroundings.The morning bird calls were awesome. The cottage was well equipped and nice and warm.

Lovely private place to stay.

Nothing ! The cottages are in a great location - I was there was sporting event for my daughter, and it was about 12 mins to the swimming pool. It is right next to a beach and a cycle trail. 5 mins from the nearest little village, with a coffee shop and bar.

The owners run a self check-in service, and the key was ready and waiting for me where they said it would be - made life easy as I didn't have to worry about when I was going to get there (and the heinous roadworks on the way from Taupo extended my estimated time of arrival rather a lot!

Attractive formal garden around the cottages but the pretty statue looked like it needed a scrub!

Cosy, well appointed kitchen. Pleasant garden and beautiful chickens! Ideally located for getting on to the bike trail. And a nice little games room had a pool table books games etc to while away the evening

There was nothing not to like.

Quiet secluded location but not to far to drive or cycle to village shops and pub.

Location was great. Beach walking distance and very private.

Lovely and quiet, private. Clean and tidy. Nice location handy to Hastings, Havelock and Napier.

Nothing. One of Rachel's chickens had a lot of attitude but we liked her anyway. (The cocky white hen.)

The location was excellent. It was close to the wineries yet convenient to visit Napier.

Nothing!

Everything we might need had been thought of, the gardens were beautiful and so was the cottage. Everything was well-maintained to a high standard. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming and even came to collect us when we had a bike puncture on a trip.

Excellent location, each cottage private, great games room and amazing setting. Central spot for exploring Hawkes Bay. Really really clean, comfy beds, good shower.

Nothing to not like.

Great location, very quite (we live with city noise) loved the gardens which made the cottage very private. Exceptionally clean and well ventilated. Enjoyed fresh eggs for breakfast provided by the host.

A beautiful little cottage in a group of three with a common courtyard which was beautifully landscaped. The cottage was incredibly clean and wonderful. A short walk to the beach. We loved our stay there, and highly recommend it.

There was nothing to dislike.

Muesli and coffee, tea, chocolate and biscuits were all provided. There were good cooking facilities. The gardens around the property were lovely and there was a fountain in the middle of the courtyard around which the 3 cottages were located. This proved to be a good meeting place in the evening.

Leaving

Excellent location to visit both Napier and Hastings, the cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.. would 100% recommend and definitely stay again if we were in the area.

The bed was too soft for my partner

Clean, cozy, quiet, had everything we needed

Stayed in January 2024

Pillows were too big for comfort. Dining chairs wobble, needs strengthening. AC is ineffective for bedrooms on hot days.

Instructions were clear and precise. Very nice and clean cottage. Bathroom was spacious and clean. Nice arrangement of complimentary tea, coffee, milk etc.

Stayed in January 2024

The shower and toilet albeit very spacious has no divider (e.g. glass/door) only shower curtain so there is an unavoidable overflow of water on the floor outside the shower which can be a safety issue. A squeeqee has been provided with a long handle to address this. You just need to just wipe the water out immediately after using the shower to avoid this. On the other hand, I like that the shower has handles which are ideal for people with mobility concerns and looking for this kind of set up while on a holiday.

The ease of checking in the property with the clear instructions provided by the owners. I like how they were easily contactable and replies promptly to our messages.

Stayed in December 2023

No complaints. My only suggestion is to update the welcome guide to reflect that bread and eggs are no longer supplied.

These cottages are in such a lovely setting. Ours was impeccably clean and tastefully decorated. The friendly chickens greeted us upon arrival. Coffee, spreads, milk, and 4 packets of cereal were waiting for us in the kitchen. Rachel kindly supplied us with some eggs from the chickens when we asked.

Friendly, helpful hosts and lovely clean cottage.

Be nice if some butter sachets came with condiments supplied as was caught out thinking there must be some (obviously I didn't check fridge) so bought some bread to toast only to find needed butter as well.

Nothing!!

The property is cleverly designed so small but perfect. It’s also just out of town, so quiet. Beds are comfortable so had a good sleep.

Unfortunately the games room was under refurbishment Recycling was encouraged but only one bin in cottage. A 2nd bag would have been useful to separate and transport to outside recycle bins (granted we didn't get around to asking for another as we were in and out all day)

Lovely cottage in quiet location Clean and tidy Able to get the RWC on room TV Given a handy map with closed bike paths to plan our vineyard ride easier Close to waterfront Location was good for the Cape kidnappers Trail run, we were able to zip back and shower/have lunch before the prize giving But it is a good 25km bike ride to the main cluster of vineyards
