Michelle is an awesome host. Happy to help, and happy to let you have your own space. Very comfortable, quiet cottage a short distance from the main home. Cottage has a lovely outdoor area where you can listen to the birds and enjoy the afternoon sun. Easy access to the places of interest in Hawke's Bay. Relaxing farm surroundings with a horse riding school along the drive way (bring some carrots or apples for the horses!). Highly recommend place to stay in the bay if you are looking for a quite place outside the city.
