Rural Retreat in Havelock North

This fully self contained home is on the rural outskirts of Havelock North. Surrounded by orchards, this home has all the benefits of being in the country but is only 3 minutes to the centre of Havelock North Village, 10 minutes to Hastings and 20 minutes to Napier. A great central location.

Hawkes Bay and Havelock North offers many great leisure time activities ranging from fabulous local wineries, cafes, restaurants, beaches, cycling and walking opportunities to name just a few.

A great place for a family or couples to use a base to explore the Bay, or to stay put and just enjoy the country surrounds!

Lovely Location
Had a lovely stay here. Plenty of heating so even in cold weather it was lovely and cosy. The only thing that was ever so slightly frustrating (and is due to the rural location and possibly the previous guests using the allowance, NOT the owners!) is the internet connection which meant we weren't able to do some things from the house. It wasn't a massive issue for us but I mention it only for potential guests who may wish to work. We loved it in every other way and would definitely stay again! Thank you :)

Comfortable place to put your head down after a long day out and about
Our family enjoyed our stay. The water had a funky smell to it. Wasn’t to impress that we had to take our recycling away with us and strip our own beds I thought that would come under the cleaning fee. Other than that it was a pleasant stay. Thank you Lynette

Great stay
We stayed for a long weekend visit. The location was great close to Havelock but with a rural setting. Hosts were great and we were able to bring our two dogs which was great. Accommodation was clean and well equipped. Thanks for having us.
