Amazing bach
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

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 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.

Just Perfect
The perfect place to stay, whether as a couple, friend group or a family. The listing photos are beautiful but this property in real life is incredible.. just quality. Additional touches of breakfast being provided and no need to clean on departing were the icing on the cake. Lots to see locally, great vineyards within walking distance and a lovely easy drive to Napier / Clive. Highly recommend and will definitely return. Thank you so much Robyn for having this beautiful place available.

Great place to stay
This is a lovely cottage in a idyllic setting and a great location. The road to the top of Te Mata Peak is not far away and a worthwhile drive as the views at the top are outstanding. We visited the vineyards nearby and for 4 of us the size of the kitchen and the cottage was great. We would definitely recommend this lovely cottage and would love to stay again.

Cool little cottage
We, two couples, really enjoyed our time in this cool little cottage. Lots of room to move and never felt cramped. Really great to have separate facilities for each couple. Little bit of road noise but hey it's on a busy road with lots of vineyards nearby. Very handy location for the things we wished to do. So glad that the rain started as we were leaving!!!! Hawke's Bay is so dry. Thank you Robyn.
