Spotlessly clean and well equiped house. Lovely and quiet in the country. Very friendly host (Tina) with excellent communication prior to stay. Beds unusually comfortable for a rental. My husband had a spa which he really enjoyed. We had our car so only a short trip into Napier.

This was a perfect getaway among orchards (many of them in blossom at this time of year). There was space around the house and the river nearby to keep the kids occupied, but it was just a short drive to Havelock North with dining, honey tasting etc. We enjoyed the outside bath, sauna and Netflix. The kids loved the two (adult) bikes as well. And the birdsong in the morning was almost deafening.
Thanks for the lovely stay (the owners we never met :)!

It was a great "experience to be away from it all" inland of Haumoana. The location is on a large orchard, with great views of the Tukituki River. We had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Thanks.

Good quality stay, has everything required. Maybe bit far from attractions, especially when going out at night for dinner.

We had a lovely three nights stay at the property at Haumoana. Very relaxing and not too far from the three cities of Havelock North, Hastings and Napier. The perfect location. Very cozy place and inviting place to stay.

I stayed here the night before my wedding with my 2 bridesmaids, and we got ready here in the morning. My new husband and I then stayed the night of the wedding. From the word go, Tina and Joe were so accommodating. They gave us access to the river for the photos we wanted on our wedding day, and offered a late check out.
Beautiful location, lovely clean cottage - the only problem was we didn't have time to use the outdoor bath or sauna!!!
Highly recommend - if we ever need a quick local getaway, I know where to go!

We were a bit unfortunate with the weather-it rained everyday we were there. However the location is very nice-nestled in a working orchard. Its in close proximity to the cycle trail which is nice for any cyclists

My wife and I had a lovely few days. The river was great (access easy for the able bodied). Easy driving to Havelock North, Hastings and Te Awanga. Very tidy. My wife loved the outdoor bath. Hosts are lovely folks. The dogs are beyond cute.

Nice location on the orchard, great communication and easy check-in given we were arriving late. Do suggest arriving in the day time if possible as in the dark it can be a little confusing - light was left on for us which was great. The improvement we would suggest is the bed which we found had roll together so not as comfortable as we are used to.
5.0 / 5.0
The property and facilities were fabulous. If you're looking for a quiet getaway or to tour Hawkes Bay area the location is perfect.
Had everything we needed and more. The property was well equipped and spotlessly clean.
In all fairness though, we were in the area for mtb racing so we did not make use of what we had or the location we were in. Loved it though and would certainly return if we were in the area again.
Thank you to our lovely hosts.

We had a family reunion happening across the road and stayed here for peace and quiet. We loved being in the middle of an orchard, the lovely views and most importantly the well equipped cottage that had been developed with great consideration for the person or people staying. We would highly recommend it.

We had wonderful five nights at Tina & Joe over the New Years. It's quiet & tranquil location set amongst the orchard and Tuki tuki river. We enjoyed soaking in the bath at night while stargazing & serenaded by Morepork' beautiful cuckoo sound from a distance. Absolute blissful moment if you're looking for a serene time off. We also went out and explore the Hawkes Bay region and this cottage is quite strategic location. Thank you for the yummy fruits! Overall, it was awesome experience!
