My wife and I stayed with our 10 month old daughter for just over a week. The house is in a relaxing and private setting but is still an excellent launching point for site seeing in Hawkes Bay. The home was beautifully designed, built, and decorated by Johno and Daphne. The layout is perfect for a family or two couples with a big open living/dining/kitchen area and two mirror bedrooms on either side. One entire side of the house is glass sliding doors looking out onto the backyard which is gorgeous native bush. The kitchen was perfect for a week of cooking in and the added provisions were a really nice touch. The beds and linens were heavenly. Johno and Daphne had great recommendations for hiking and eating out. We would definitely stay again!
