    Another lovely stay at Verano!
    Delighted to return to Verano for the third time. This property fits us so well, and Tony is a wonderful host. Lots to do in the area, and a stone's throw away from Golf and Wineries - so the location couldn't be better. Look forward to returning again soon!

    Lovely spot for a quiet break
    This accommodation lived up to all of the previous reviews and the information provided by the owner. The spot was lovely and quiet, close to plenty of amenities including wineries and cycle trails. Arriving to the house to find a freshly baked loaf of bread and having some basics like butter and jam at the ready to enjoy on the fresh hot loaf was definitely the icing on the cake. Thanks Tony for being such a great host.

    We spent 5 nights to enjoy the Arts Deco, surrounding wineries and popular places of interest. All our expectations were met, our accommodation was superb and hosts were friendly and accommodating also providing useful information about the area. In future visits to this region we will definitely have Verano Countrystay as our 1st choice for our accommodation.

    Very comfortable, well appointed property. Tony was delightful and very informative, ensuring we had everything we needed for our stay, including freshly baked bread on arrival. Although 30 mins from Napier it was an easy journey when we needed to make it. Local vinyards were exceptional, thanks to Tony for guiding us. We had a great stay .

    Verano Country Cottage.
    From the warm welcome from Tony the host, to the cleanliness and comfort of the refurbished cottage, and the private rural setting complete with miniature North American ponies birds and rabbits in the surrounding paddocks , this was a lovely base for our holiday. Highly recommended for couples and families and within an easy drive to all the attractions of the region including nearby wineries.

    From the moment we walked in the door to the smell of fresh baked bread we knew we had picked the right place. Super comfy beds in every room. Recliner chairs in the lounge, great wifi and a TV with Netflix ensured we had all the comfort we needed. Beautiful location in the country rabbits to spot and ponies to feed. Just perfect. Would go back tomorrow if we could.
