Isobel was a lovely and welcoming host during my partner and I's 3 night stay. The house is found down a long driveway and the letterbox is hard to spot at first but Isobel informed us of this prior to arrival. Even before meeting us Isobel already made us feel comfortable by making sure we knew how to find the house. The neighbourhood is nice and quiet. When we arrived at the house we were blown away by the stunning views and the huge deck area. The house was immaculate yet homely. We had a choice between the two bedrooms, Isobel suggested we take the room with the view, which we did. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. The bathroom was right next to the bedroom in one part of the house so it felt like we had the house to ourselves. We were provided with towels, extra blankets and pillows, shampoo and soaps. The Wifi connection was fast. We were provide with breakfast of fruit and muesli which was delicious and filling. Isobel gave us our privacy if we wanted, at the same time not short on advice of things to see and do around the Hawke's Bay area. We loved getting to know Isobel with her kind nature and definitely would not hesitate staying with her again.
