If I could have put six stars for location and expectation vs reality, I would have. We could not have asked for more for a much needed break. The location was perfect - quiet (especially at night), peaceful, within a short drive of Hastings, Havelock North, Te Mata Peak and some great little cafes, with Napier, Haumoana and Ocean / Waimarama Beaches within easy driving distance. The little house was absolutely perfect - comfy beds and couches, great shower and a good assortment of cooking paraphernalia. We have returned home very happy and totally relaxed. Wish we could have stayed longer!
