The photos really do not do justice to this house. It’s an incredible property, and we hardly left it the whole holiday. The kids were swimming non-stop, we picked fresh salad leaves and herbs for our meals, enjoyed fresh eggs from the chooks, we read tons of books and had very comfortable sleeps. Josi is an outstanding communicator and is very thoughtful and accomodating. Jack the donkey, a beloved family pet, is hilarious and loves cuddles from the kids. The house is very close to Havelock village, but still completely rural with a beautiful outlook across rolling hills to the lights of Napier. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
