Tiny breakfast!

Sweet apartment and pretty garden. Netflix account for the cottage was good.

Beautiful clean, modern cottage with Devine gardens and loads of birdsong. The garden was a visual feast along with perfume from the roses and so quiet. The sun streamed onto the porch where I sat in the late afternoon with a glass of wine. Very private, quiet and so close to Napier and Hastings. It's an absolute little gem. Loved the wee cat that came and visited for a cuddle and the very cute elderly dog who welcomed me in the morning. Totally perfect.

The warm welcome from Rachel. Privacy of a cosy cottage. Wonderful surrounding garden. Excellent location for cycle trails. Unbeatable bike rental prices.

My mom is on her wheel chair ♿️ and she's seems to enjoy easy access. She enjoys all facilities and a very comfortable bed. Other members of my family enjoyed the stay. Thank you very much for your hospitality. We'll choose to stay at your place again for our future visit.

Beautiful cottages in a lovely rural setting. And very well appointed. Ideally situated to explore Napier, Havelock North, Cape Kidnappers and Hastings- especially by bicycle as the cottages are very close to the Hawkes Bay cycle track network.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Check in was quick and easy, thanks Tony and Rachel. The property is well maintained. Our family was in the two bedroom cottage (Bluebell) and although the property shared with 2 other cabins, it was set up so privacy was not an issue. Very quiet and relaxing. Cleanliness and comfort were exceptional. Lots of little extras (games, bike rental, chickens….). Definitely a recommendation.
