Book a Hawke's Bay Region Cottage

"Yes, welcoming host."

"There were quite a few cockroaches in the bedrooms and kitchen cuppboards. The tea and coffee canisters were empty and the single bed in one of the rooms when laid on the springs stretched down nearly to the floor so it was unusable. There was an aweful shower curtain that clinged to the body when showering.When we got there we didnt realise it was across the road from a seaport and you heard trucks coming in and out all day and night. If it's for a short stay maybe it would be ok."

"Spacious and clean, we loved the views and location was handy to the city. Lots of room for everyone and well equipped kitchen"

"The view was exactly what we wanted however the property left a lot to be desired. It needed a good clean inside and out, there were crumbs on the floor on our arrival, the counters and table top were sticky/greasy, the oven was disgusting, the dish cloth was rank and looked like it hadn’t been changed in a good long while. The outdoor furniture was dirty and covered in cobwebs not something easily cleaned off."

"We loved the cottage from the moment we arrived. Its old world charm, but extremely comfortable presentation, was a delight. The welcome notes and information was truly hospitable. Everything worked, food offerings and amenities abundant. Thank you, wouldve loved to have stayed longer."

"Lovely cottage and everything we needed for an enjoyable stay"
