“Great retreat from a stormy day when we had to cancel our plans at the last minute.”
Thanks to the hosts for getting it ready at such short notice. Cosy cottage with a great fire & everything we needed. Not far to Kaiuma Bay where there's a child friendly walking track, and the Nydia track is only 3kms away. Patchy reception and a bit of a mission getting there from Havelock (around 30 mins on a gravel road) so make sure you have plenty of supplies!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really glad to hear that Fantail Cottage provided a cosy retreat for you, especially when the weather changed your plans. It’s great to know the fire kept you warm and that you had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciate you highlighting the nearby walking tracks and the heads-up about the road and reception—those tips are super helpful for future guests! Thanks again for choosing to stay with us on short notice. We’d love to welcome you back anytime. Bachcare

The property
Experience a slice of history and tranquility at Fantail Cottage, nestled on a serene working farm in Havelock with stunning views across 308 acres of rolling valleys and wooded hills. This charming retreat offers the perfect escape for those seeking peace and relaxation. Step outside onto your semi-private deck, where you can soak in garden views stretching across the farm to the bush-covered hills of Kaiuma Bay. Inside, the cozy living area, open-plan dining room, and well-equipped kitchen provide a welcoming space for shared meals and quality time. Fantail Cottage is located next to Fantail House, which can be booked together for larger groups. The cottage features two spacious bedrooms and a modern bathroom, designed for a restful night’s sleep after a day of exploring. Both the cottage and main house have fireplaces, with plenty of firewood available to keep you warm and comfortable. Adventure awaits just beyond your doorstep. The Nydia Bay walking track is nearby, and a boat ramp in Kaiuma Bay makes it easy to head out on the water. The picturesque Havelock Marina offers boat tours and waterfront dining, while the Pelorus Sound water taxi provides access to stunning kayaking and hiking spots. The nearby Wakamarina and Pelorus rivers are known for excellent trout fishing, adding to the many outdoor activities available. For a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, Fantail Cottage is the perfect Havelock retreat!
