Had a fantastic stay at Julie’s place in Haumoana. Such a beautiful property and ample space for all (we were a party of 10). There were loads of lawn games available to play and all the basics were there for us to use. There is little options for takeaways so I suggest being prepared for meals but Hastings/Havelock North are only a 15 minute drive away so no biggy. Definitely have your own car too!
