Wendy “Lovely location for those wanting a peaceful escape with horses for company.”
Walking distance to Craggy Range winery, cycling distance to Havelock North and the vineyards there with an off road track in both directions. The house was well maintained and clean but the BBQ had not been cleaned by the previous users. Would have been good to have more comfortable seating as there would be a very tight squeeze with six. Comfortable beds, easy to use laundry, easy to find. The crockery and other similar items seems to be cobbled together from other properties and did not match the lovely finish and standard of the house itself. This would be our negative for the stay; otherwise we had a great time.
- Wendy, January 2024Grant “Great location with fantastic views.”
Close to town and Craggy Range Vineyard.t
- Grant, December 2023Bronwyn “We had a fantastic time great home and location.”

The house is clean, comfortable and stylish with all the equipment one would expect, and the location is fabulous with idyllic views, especially if you like horses . We would love to return and would highly recommend.
- Alice, February 2023Fiona “We absolutely loved our stay!”
! Perfect house and perfect location. The views were fabulous. River was a hit with the kids and they loved watching the horses wander why. What more could you want?! We will definitely be back and recommend the house to anyone coming to The Hawkes Bay.

- Alea, December 2021Alan “Property fantastic well done to the owners enjoyed our stay well thought out layout.”
Beds very comfortable. Bachcare communication Not good though. Bachcare just kept using generic messages instead of answering questions. No information to get into property was emailed had to chase them up by phone 5 hours before we arrived by many phone calls to get instructions
- Alan, December 2021Alex “Beautiful view.”
New property with good facilities. Great location -so close to Craggy Range that you have to organise a dinner there! Will definitely go back.
- Alex, October 2021Cheree “Fantastic beautiful property.”
Great access to the river and walking distance to Craggy range. Spectacular views.
- Cheree, October 2021Andrea “Beautiful location, wonderful vistas, lovely comfortable house with all the amenities you might want.”
- Andrea, September 2021Lauren “We are a family of five, with three young children (5, 3 and 7 months).”
We had a fabulous stay at this house and could not fault it. The owners were very accommodating and supplied a high chair, good quality cot with mattress and even a changing mat for our baby. There was all the basic provisions to get you started in the kitchen which we really appreciated. The house is sunny and warm and has top quality appliances. The kitchen is excellent and well equipped with everything you need. It is rare to find a house so well appointed and comfortable. The location was ideal for us being a short drive to the centre of Havelock North and Hastings and walking distance to Craggy Range for a superb lunch. The outside of the house with the river nearby is great for kids. We hope to return again someday. Thank you for having us.
- Lauren, July 2021Shannon “This is a great little hide away.”
Amazing views of Te Mata Peak and a little stroll down the back to the Tuki Tuki River. 10 mins away from Havelock North. Highly recommend
