The Pavilion was the perfect base from which to explore North Havelock, Napier and surrounding areas. The house was well equipped and comfortable. The surrounding gardens made for a very peaceful and relaxing view. The bed was heavenly to sleep on, especially with its silky soft linen. The house has been very tastefully furnished and decorated. Havelock North with its bounty of great cafes and shops was an easy 10 minute walk. It was also close to the magnificent Te Mata Peak which is a must visit and overlooks Craggy Range Winery which was another highlight of our stay. We also loved the visits from little Bruiser the dog. We could easily have stayed longer than our three nights had time permitted.
