Amazing holiday
This was easily one of the best places we've ever stayed at. Impeccable, functional, and stunning. The host (Sheryl) was friendly, kind, and helpful. She gave us our space, but was always on hand to help if needed. We will definitely come back if we can. I cannot say enough nice things about this gem of a place. 🙂

Fabulous haven for relaxation in comfort
A magnificent country setting and a very well appointed cottage make this a truly special place to stay. The owners could not have been more helpful, yet give you total privacy in the accommodation. Excellent facilities. A well appointed kitchen, modern bathroom, and very comfortable bed all add to the experience. Wandering round the beautiful gardens, and soaking in the hot tub add extra bonus points to this truly amazing place.

The Ultimate R & R
What an absolute gem we were lucky to find for our 2 night getaway to enjoy the Robbie Williams concert and just to press pause for a moment. Paul and Cheryl Seafield Cottage is a credit to you both and you have thought of everything. Your warmth and hospitality is equally matched with utmost privacy to enjoy your stay at this beautiful spot. You went over and beyond with helping us with transport and we can’t thank you enough. These two people are true gems! And we couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. Thank you x

Tuis, stars, and fresh eggs!
We had a fabulous time at Sheryl's place, which began with a warm welcome. We enjoyed free range eggs and a bottle of local wine, luxuriating in the spa, and spending time looking at both the countryside and the sea. We would highly recommend this lovely get-away.

Exactly what I was hoping for, very relaxed and quiet and comfortable . Our host was really great and answered any queries we had. The spa was sublime. An excellent place to stay and we intend to return before too long. Really appreciated the food and the refreshments left for us in the fridge.

Very relaxing stay
We spent 5 nights at Seafield Cottage and what a stunning location it is. We were after a relaxing break and it certainly was that. We arrived to fresh eggs and other extras in the fridge which was so thoughtful. The kitchen was also fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The cottage is immaculate and has a cosy feel to it. Every morning we awoke to watch the tui feeding on the deck - very special. It is just the place to unwind and feel connected again. A big thank you to Sheryl and Paul. We would love to return again and would highly recommend it to others.

Thanks Sheryl for creating such a magical place. An easy 15 minute drive down to Napier. We had five days to unwind and relax overlooking the gorgeous countryside and gardens, enjoying the fabulous birdlife and evening barbeques and spa under the stars. The best of everything, five stars. We didn't want to leave and hope to return soon.

The most wonderful and relaxing 4 days !
Seafield Cottage is a unique, and peaceful, boutique, experience. Set in a quiet valley overlooking Hawkes Bay fields, with a clear view of the ocean beyond. Host, Sheryl, is discreet and extremely helpful. Nothing is a bother, and the cottage is extraordinarily well equipped. If you like photographing native birds and farm animals close up or with a tele lens this place is for you

About the host

Hosted by SHERYLV1

Host profile image
Old sports people who have played everything. We needed a new challenge which this property provided. We wanted to make a safe, tranquil environment for couples to come and really reconnect and recharge. Our feedback seems to say that we have succeeded in this.
Having come from a stressful corporate background myself, to find a place to take "time out" was paramount. Now sharing it with others is a unique experience, and mutually beneficial.

Why they chose this property

A childhood dream was to have a lifestyle block to grow my own fruit and veges with chooks and furry friends. We have a unique "getaway" and the most pleasure we have is to be able to share this with guests. We came upon this property while it was still in Pine forest. Watching it being felled whilst out cycling. It was a complete bomb site trees debris, stumps, rocks and pinecones. To transform it into my dream has been the best thing we have ever achieved. Looking down at the twinkling sea over the mess was enough to realise "this was the place"...Now with our plantings the native birdlife is returning. Big fat pheasants, wood pigeon, bellbirds, fantails, quail, Tui, friendly ducks etc etc. There is an abundance of fruit and nuts on our trees and we are living the dream.

What makes this property unique

Close to Napier's famous walkways and cycle ways. Stunning views. Peace and quiet to recharge the batteries from the drain of "life" these days. Also close to several top class wineries. The Mission, Church Road, Crab Farm, Linden Estate, Sacred Hill, to name a few.
