I highly recommend this as a place to explore Hawkes bay and probably the best bit of it. A stone’s throw from the sea, countless vineyards, including Craggy range 10mins away and the stunning Ocean beach. The house itself is bran spanking new and very comfortable (even the pillows are noteworthy, so thick and squidgy they blocked out my wife’s snoring effortlessly) . Karen our super friendly and helpful hostess even offered us unasked for some lower versions of the pillows. Will have to wait till next time to discover what they were. And finally the view. We were perhaps lucky that we had perfect weather but the pictures dont do it justice. Reminded me of the Luberon in Provence. Will be back if they let us back into NZ when the world returns to normal. Tuki tuki.
