This is a great place at an excellent location - literally just minutes to the centre of the township and supermarkets, food etc. Havelock North is a cool central location that’s a lot easier than staying somewhere larger, but is close enough to other places.
The house is good - an old NZ classic renovated to modern standards. 3 toilets 2 showers, never felt claustrophobic.
The place is on the main road in, and when outside the car noise is constant but once you’re inside and the doors and windows are closed it’s barely noticeable and did not disrupt our stay at all.
