Cottage was perfect, with us being 2 couples enjoying a stay to play golf and explore local area. The cottage is very clean, with a short drive into Havelock North and hosts are easy to communicate with. Highly recommend staying here and looking forward to returning some time soon.

Really would rate this stay a 15, much higher than a 10!! Fabulous in every way! Thanks for everything -- clean , comfortable, spacious, with coffee/tea/milk/sugar, etc. Loved seeing the sheep all the time out the window. Would suggest another small step before the first big step and/or a railing for very senior persons. All was well!!

Our stay at the cottage was disappointing. While the home itself was lovely, the host ruined our Hawkes Bay experience. On arrival, we were locked out by an electric gate which was not mentioned. Luckily we realised the gate code must be the same as the house code in the booking confirmation. The home was clean and tidy and had a lot of basic features, but lacked some simple staples e.g. sugar for coffee and washing facilities. One day of our stay it was 30+ degrees outside, so we decided to go to the local river for a swim. As no beach towels were provided, two towels were taken offsite and got a little bit of dirt on them. One of the house rules is as to text the owner upon check out, which we did. About an hour later, I received very angry texts from the host, accusing us of using the towels to clean bikes with and threatening us with a cleaning fee and reporting us to Book a Bach. I called the host to explain the situation and that it was a little bit of dirt, where she proceeded to get very angry and again threaten us with replacement towel fees and a bad review. I sincerely apologised and said we would pay any dry cleaning fees or replace the towels if needed, but she continued to be very rude and angry. This left me very shaken, especially considering we thoroughly cleaned the cottage (vacuuming, spray and wiping surfaces etc) and knowing that dirt easily comes out in a wash. I do not recommend staying here. It is not worth the money and the stress and anxiety caused. The host did not behave how a hospitality host should.

We loved this accommodation, serenaded by the birds and the sheep in the paddocks. It was new, fresh and clean and plenty of utensils etc for cooking. The peace was blissful, as well as Leonie and John being extremely friendly, but not obtrusive.

Loved every bit of our stay here. Modern facilities in a rural peaceful setting. Location can't be more strategic here being only a few mins drive away from the vineyards, amazing restaurants and te mata peak. We had such an amazing family time here! Leonie is such a lovely lady to talk too! Hopefully we will be back soon!

A little out of town, but in a great location to drive to Havelock North, Hastings or Napier. Lavenham is a well maintained property with all the amenities for a relaxing stay. Greeted each morning with views out over farmland with a few animals, including a Heron nearby. We all enjoyed our stay here.
