What a lovely time of year to enjoy this character wee whare in a gorgeous garden setting. The two room cottage sits on the edge of Deb and Wayne’s lovely garden, and in the summer we looked out to a vista of flowers, roses, greenery, trees…. Truly beautiful. The welcoming arrangement of fresh flowers in the bedroom only added to the joy which the garden brought us. We had our own outdoor table on the grass - great place to enjoy morning coffee or breakfast. Then there was a bench outside the bedroom under the grape vine where we sat in the evening, trying to catch a little breeze on one scorching hot Hawkes Bay day after another! Deb and Wayne were on holiday during our visit, but we were still able to use their laundry to do a load of washing. Appreciated the breakfast provisions - great granola and good coffee with plunger provided. Magazines and books to enjoy while you relax here. Good shower, quiet location. Less than half an hour walk in to Havelock North village - we enjoyed this walk, taking different routes each day. No internet in the living room and patchy in the bedroom. We did figure out that the best internet was in the corner of the bedroom nearest the house, so I was able to set up there on the final day to do some work, which worked well. Sky television in the living room a bonus, and parking right outside the door. It’s a treat to stay here, and to enjoy some of the great vineyards within a short drive.
