Peaceful, tranquil and very private this is an ideal place to get away from it all. Soak up the sun on the deck while listening to the birdsong or enjoy a stroll into the quaint Havelock North village voted the most beautiful suburb in New Zealand. The house comes equipped with all the amenities you need to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. A great place to call home while you explore all that the Hawkes Bay region has to offer. Please note that your stay at our home comes with two beautiful cats that will win you over. They require feeding at night.

Great house with lots of space for all the family and lovely host. Only watch out is that because its an older house & carpets etc its not great for asthmatics. Thanks for sharing your home.
We were a group of 4 x 40 year olds. The house has a lovely private deck with sun shades overlooking the reserve, with a large table and comfortable chairs. The area is very quiet and the cats and chickens were lovely!
This accommodation was a wonderful find. Large property with plenty of space. Had everything we needed. Lovely outside deck for the cooler nights complete with BBQ. Fresh chicken eggs and a complimentary pot of honey from the bee hives on the property. Communication was superb and Carrie made everything so easy. The family cats were delightful and the highlight of the visit ! We would love to come back
Such an amazing property for our family to stay over Easter. Great place for kids - our 3yr old loved the chickens, the treehouse, the swings and the massive bush garden to explore and play in every day. Our 10month old crawled around the deck and had a great time climbing the stairs too. Lots of room for everyone and just the best place to have a happy Hawkes bay holiday. Will definitely be booking again!
