I come to Hawkes Bay regularly for work and this time brought my partner. It is very nice place and very good value for the area - they have worked hard to make it a wonderful place to stay.
It is a lovely spot in a great location that is just under 15 minutes from Napier, Hastings and Havelock North. It is over a berm from the river and bike trail and a short walk to the ocean.
The place itself was very well appointed, with a great shower that was hot and strong, quite nice linen and lots of towels.
There is also a very romantic secluded bathtub with candles under the trees - bring slippers, for an evening soak.
Sue and her partner gave us privacy but were also available and obliging with any requests. We found Sue a warm and gracious host.
