Loved this little cottage.
private and so quiet,
we were there in maybe one of the hottest weekends, the only thing missing was a fan, to help cool us down in the cottage, however we took advantage of the large shade trees on the property. Definitely recommend.

A lovely spot and a lovely cottage. Check-in and out were seamless with excellent breakfast fare. Just 2 kms into town so everything readily available. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again and thoroughly recommend.

Hard to believe this place began as a bushman's hut in the Ruahines. It's been beautifully restored and enhanced and was a very comfortable base to explore this part of Hawkes Bay. Many thanks Margie and Denis for allowing us to share your wonderful property.

A really lovely place! The property itself is beautiful and the owners left things for me in the fridge (and food is the fastest way to my heart).
Also pretty close to everything, including Napier and Hastings.

Margie and Denis were friendly hosts, the property was set in beautiful gardens and the surrounding area was lovely. Havelock north is very scenic and it was unfortunate that we did not have a little more time to explore. Thanks and best wishes to our hosts. Lyndall and David

Lovely little character cottage with private garden in a country-side setting. The ideal place to unwind for a few days. Havelock town is just a short drive away with plenty of bars and restaurants. Whenever we visit, our top pick is Malo's. The food and service cannot be faulted. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with hosts Denis and Marjie and highly reccomend Endsleigh Cottages.

Prior to arrival we were advised the small cottage had been double booked but Margie quickly corrected this problem and upgraded us to the lovely 2 bedroom two bathroom cottage (many thanks for putting this right). The place was very clean, quiet and comfortable and had all the amenities you might want.
Thank you. Paul and Monica
