A quaint cottage set in lovely surroundings and very handy to town
We were on a car rally and found the location close to our venues
Excellent facilities
The Cottage was well suited to two couples staying together. Plenty of space, very comfortable beds and adequate bathrooms. Lovely quiet area and very close to Havelock North Village. Great communication from the owners - we were made to feel very welcome.
We stayed here for 4 nights in Jan 24. Amazing place and very spacious. Our 6 year old loved the fruit trees in the garden and the sunroom. The location was perfect - literally 6mins drive to Havelock
We loved our stay at the cottage, it had everything we needed and was in a fantastic location near wineries and a short drive into Havelock North. Rooms were spacious and well equipped. Garden was great for kids playing outside. Kitchen well equipped and stocked generously with basics. Washing machine so handy with kids too! Would definitely stay again.
Lovely country cottage, modernised with an open plan layout, new kitchen, large dinning and lounge. Comfortable beds and double bathroom. Set in gardens with a covered side porch for outdoor dinning and seating. Easy access to house and central location to Havelock Nth and Napier.
Charming spacious characterful cottage with two shower rooms (one en-suite) in a peaceful countryside setting. The Figgery and Te Mata winery both nearby and recommended.

The cottage is wonderful. Top-shelf amenities, great location (Black Barn winery is the view from the living room). It gets warm in Havelock North, so the central air is wonderful. I was there for a month and loved it. Great trout fishing by EIT in Taradale, a definite plus!I would go back again without thinking twice.
Lovely comfortable cottage in fantastic location. The property was perfect for us, situated in gorgeous grounds, lovely setting and everything we needed and more.
We loved staying at Wai iti Cottage. The location was excellent - easy to get to and close to Havelock North and Napier and also close to many wineries. The nearby walking tracks were an extra bonus.
The cottage itself was very clean and very comfortable.
We would highly recommend this property.
This was my second stay at this amazing bach. Really like the way it is renovated to such a high standard, and the beds, linen, etc are all really good quality. Got to meet the owner which was great, but privacy was absolutely not an issue. Hopefully will come back in October if they will have us :)
My parents and I had a wonderful weekend in Hawkes Bay staying here. The cottage provided everything we needed and more. Thank you! It was spacious, comfy and warm surrounded by beautiful gardens. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Only thing I would suggest would be some better lighting on street numbers and driveway entrance as it was a bit hard to spot arriving in the dark!
We had a great time in Havelock North staying at Wai-iti Cottage for 5 nights. It was beautifully clean, with everything we required. The grounds were lovely. Thank you very much for the use of your cottage.
Exceptional. Loved our stay in an idyllic location.
Cottage exceeded our expectations, handy to town, clean and tidy. Heaps of room. Quite. Great communication from host.
Hope to return next year. Thank you.
