Gravetye is a superb independent cottage set amongst beautiful gardens. It is very comfortable, modern and offers tasteful and chic furnishings as well as gorgeous bed linen. Our hosts Jenny and John were simply delightful and full of interesting history and information about the greater Hawera area. Their gardens are magnificent. We biked and walked, travelled and visited many of the sights, parks and gardens around the district. We were sorry to leave really! We were also bathed in glorious Taranaki sunshine for the greater part of our stay! Lucky us.
