Beautiful spot. Great hang out near the pool, and nice outside area with a spot in the sun. Very friendly hosts, and the house had everything we needed + more. Would definitely stay again :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house was beautiful and the area was very peaceful! Thanks so much to Ian

The hosts we very welcoming. The kids had a ball as the property is rural (semi) so loads to do. Ian and Jo were super helpful with the kids (finding bikes and scooters for them and fresh farm eggs for breakfast). Lots of room - great location - close to Havelock, Te Mata Peak - gorgeous in the Autumn

Perfect

Large private home and garden on the outskirts of Havelock, the guest area is the original 1970s portion of the house and is starting to look a bit tired but, on the upside the rooms (and the hosts' provisions) are enormously generous. The gardens (with swimming pool and tennis court) are superb and the nearby walking track to Te Mata walking tracks are undergoing an upgrade.

Fantastic experience. Wonderful property and the perfect hosts. Well recommended.

Great place to stay

Awesome place to stay! Ian & Joe are great people and the property is beautiful. The pool was fantastic especially on those 34 degree days!!! Monty the dog is always friendly and liked to pay visits which was handy as he was great at waking up teenagers from their slumber with a lick to the face! Ollie the cat was a typical cat... demanding attention only when it suited him! The accommodation is spacious with an AC unit in the lounge, again very helpful on those hot days. If you like to do a bit of MTB riding, then the house is just down the road from the Te Mata peak MTB park which has some great trails to explore and there are the walking tracks as well which were great for the morning run.

Fantastic property in a beautiful setting! Being tucked away gives peace and quiet in a lush garden setting, but you are not far from all Havelock North has to offer. The hosts are great too!

We only had one night in the Hawkes Bay area and booked our stay two days before arrival. The location of Ian’s guest house was in a beautiful part of Havelock North, just a one minute drive (or short walk) to the Te Mata Peak car park, where we started our hike to the summit. The gardens were absolutely stunning and the kids loved that there was a tennis court, which we had a play on. We didn’t use the pool but it looked very inviting and would be an added bonus if travelling there in the warmer months. The guest cottage was very comfortable and clean and the kids once again were excited that there was an X-Box there as they don’t have one at home. Ian was an extremely friendly and helpful host. It was such a beautiful, quiet and peaceful property. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it.

Perfect location for us as we were going to the Horse of the Year show. Really nice and chill weekend

If you are wanting a tranquil & peaceful location, this is it.Tucked away just waiting for you is this amazing home with a view.Highly Recomnend

One night isn't enough to really enjoy all that this property has to offer. Wonderful location just on the outskirts of Havlock North in a beautiful semi-rural setting. Apartment is completely self contained with everything you need and you are welcome to use the onsite pool. Communication with Ian and Jo was incredibly easy and straight forward. We will be back.

Ian and Jo were most welcoming. The property was beautiful with the tree's and garden... House was fine for what we wanted as a base. Great location. Would highly recommend to anyone with or without children. Would come back again! Thanks Ian and Jo

The perfect place for our three night stay in Hawke’s Bay with a toddler and newborn in tow. The accommodation was spacious, quiet, private and set within beautiful grounds. Lots of little extras were provided that really made our stay very comfortable including lots of toys to entertain our toddler! We’ll definitely be back.
