The Studio at Waipatu was perfect for our stay in Hawkes Bay. We were there for 5 nights and found it a great location for easy access into both Havelock & Hastings and on the right side of town to travel through to Napier or the local beaches.
Aimee & John provide a really relaxed atmosphere and are on hand to answer any questions you have, whilst also giving you space and privacy if that’s what you prefer.
While the property description is clear and upfront on the limitations of the kitchen facilities, to be honest it provides everything you need and more - just without the kitchen sink - but that really isn’t a problem as an alternative washing up option is provided.
Continental breakfast food is supplied (i.e. milk, bread, cereal, spreads, tea/coffee etc) which is really thoughtful and great if you’re arriving late or only staying the one night.
‘Rural wi-fi’ is also mentioned in the property description, however apart from my device not always connecting automatically, I had no problem accessing the internet and didn’t find the broadband speed overly slow.
Aimee & John are really approachable friendly hosts and nothing seems a problem for them, so if you’re after something easy and reasonably priced (be it for a couple of nights or longer) then this is a great option.
