We stayed 8 nights as we were over from the UK for a wedding. Great base for Napier, Havelock North and even further afield if you want to. Plenty of nice places to eat and drink locally. The Red Shack had all the amenities we needed and was well equipped with washing machine and a full kitchen. We found the stock of essentials really useful when you first arrive and it's a lovely touch too. The place was clean with plenty of towels, linen and fans in each room. Would happily stay again if we come to the region.
