Dave & Hannah’s property worked out great for myself and two kids (8, 11). The kids loved feeding the pigs scraps everyday and playing in the beautiful yard along with collecting the occasional egg from the chickens. They have 3 young boys of their own and everyone got along quite well and it was a pleasure to have them around.
There’s a convenience store and pub within a few minutes drive, a gas station, winery and small shop within a few minutes more and then a 10 minute drive to Napier for anything else you’d need.
My only negatives for the place was the size of fridge in the kitchen (small form style fridge which didn’t really accommodate a family when staying for a week or more) But we managed. The couch in the living room is quite stained (doesn’t smell or anything and was comfortable enough just looks off).
Nothing tragic by any means.
Would definitely recommend this place, and would also return again if staying in the Napier region. Thanks for having us!
