We had a wonderful stay at Rural Retreat! It's in a beautiful rural location with hill views, birds and farm animals in the fields. It was also handy for visiting places in Napier and Hastings with a selection of wineries nearby. The cottage is warm and cosy with a comfy bed, great shower, TV with Chromecast and movies, games, well-equipped kitchen and beanbags. We loved the thoughtful touches like local honey, hot drinks and milk! Sway the dog came to say hi one morning which was very sweet! Sunny and Damian live further up the hill if you need anything but otherwise leave you to it which was perfect for us. Would definitely stay here again!
