The Pavilion, and Judy and Nick's hospitality, make staying in Havelock North truly memorable. From the very warm welcome (complete with just-baked bread, fridge stocked with delicious things to spread on it, and fresh herbs from Judy's garden) we felt completely at home. Judy and Nick are very generous hosts, and the architecturally-designed, very comfortable Pavilion is a great launching place for the Hawke's Bay area of NZ. Beautiful beaches, cafes, restaurants, shops, wineries, scenic and historic sites are all a short drive - or even just a short walk in some cases - away. Being at the Pavilion over the weekend also meant we could zoom into the Hastings Farmers' Market on the fabulous electric bikes Judy and Nick have on site. We then enjoyed the best local produce the region has to offer for the rest of our stay. We thoroughly recommend the Pavilion and hope to return some time.
