Aslantis is a special place. Paula is an exceptional host. The house is a reflection of Paula’s art, style and attention to detail. The house is private while Paula is closeby and available for suggestions and assistance. The house has fabulous views and the ocean is just across the street which is a perfect way to start the day.The immediate local area of Haumoana has a peaceful vibe, and larger cities of Napier, Hastings and Havelock North are an easy drive, or relatively easy bike ride. This is a place and home where you can relax and escape from a frenetic pace of live, or embrace the hiking, biking, galleries, restaurants, farmer’s markets and other special things that the area offers. Or both. We wish we had more time during this visit to enjoy it all. Looking forward to our return.
