Kirsty & David's place, The Nook, was a beautifully cozy little hideaway in the back garden of their lovely villa home. Although it's very easily found and conveniently located on a main street, it was very quiet and felt secluded and private. Everything about our stay was easy and relaxing. David greeted us and gave us all the info we needed for the couple of days we were there. We didn't get to meet Kirsty unfortunately, but she had left us lots of information about what was on in the local area for the weekend and a very detailed and useful book full of recommendations for local places to check out. The room was spotlessly clean, had a great bathroom, and included lots of thoughtful little touches. The bed was comfy, and a heater was provided to make the place nice and toasty in the evenings. We really liked meeting their cat and dog, Merlin and Griffin.
The Nook is located so well, only a 10-minute walk from many of the restaurants, cafes, and pubs in Havelock North, which made it great for popping out for dinner and drinks, as there was no need to drive home. The Nook is awesome for couples looking to spend some time exploring the beautiful Hawkes' Bay region. Kirsty & David made us feel very welcome - thanks guys!
