We stayed here for a few nights before we got married in the Hawkes Bay, and it was perfect for what we needed. A real little calm oasis tucked in amongst bush, and overlooking Te Mata peak - left us feeling very relaxed before the wedding day. There was a freshly baked loaf of bread and some farm eggs waiting for us on arrival, and a nice welcome from Van who is really friendly and popped in to say Hello and make us welcome. The cottage itself is gorgeous, with a big, comfortable bed, and great shower, and is really well equipped - I don't think there was one thing we looked for that hadn't been thought of, including a bubbly stopper and bug spray. It's not too far from Havelock village, so easy to pop out if you need anything. The deck has stunning views, and is the perfect place for a BBQ and a glass of wine in the evening, or a cup of coffee and watching the sunrise in the morning. Would definitely recommend to anyone heading out those ways.
