sunny home with rural views in Central Hawkes Bay

RebeccaRating, 5 stars5 months ago

What can I say about Jude & Brian,s house. Beautiful surroundings. Peaceful. Immaculately clean. Plenty of everything you needed, towels, cutlery, dishes, plates, glasses. Myself & my 3 sisters were there for a family reunion in Te Hauke. So we spent alot of time at the marae. But to come home to a piece of heaven each night for a well needed rest was so awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much from each of us. Truly appreciated your piece of heaven. Will recommend this place for sure, one of the best Airbnb,s I have stayed at.

Barn in Havelock North

Tiger House Hermitage

CatherineRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Our second stay at Tiger House Hermitage this May was truly magical. Everything comes together here: the privilege of being on this land, the vistas that you won't find anywhere else in Hawke's Bay- breathtakingly beautiful, the seclusion, birdsong, history, old trees & the walk down through Arapata to reach Birdwoods gallery & cafe. Then there's the richly envisioned barn renovation- so unique, light-filled & spacious. The fun Plungee for a bracing dip in winter, & the old clawfoot bath to soak in under the stars- so many stars, the wood burners to keep the place toasty warm in the evenings. Lovely to see the growth of the plantings & the changes on this visit. A unique & special place with a rich story, that our lives have now woven through too. Thank you Woody for the magic.

The Barracks @ Hapua

EmmaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This venue was exactly what we were after. It is rustic, and cozy, and it was what we were expecting. It is dog friendly, which was great because we took our German shepherd. The bathroom is spacious and well set up. We kept our luggage there as well. The kitchenette had everything we needed: jug, microwave, electric frying pan, and outside at the wine bar a weber BBQ and an air fryer. Pete was fantastic and stocked the fridge with bacon, eggs, bread and butter, and a bottle of wine. It was incredibly thoughtful and generous of him, and we were delighted to make bacon and egg butties one cold morning! Pete also left a bag of dog treats which our girl would've devoured except she has a tightly controlled diet due to allergies. Again though, so incredibly thoughtful! Pete had also set up the brazier ready for a fire, with plenty of wood. We had two lovely evenings outside by the fire! Pete is a kind and thoughtful host, and so helpful! Would highly recommend.

Farm stay in Wallingford

Ohineumeri Shearers' Quarters

CleaveRating, 5 stars6 months ago

This ia a unique place with the conversion of a shearer's quarters. The external access to each room was authentic to its past. The location was private in being on a farm up in the hills but still close enough to the coast or towns if desired. Communication was great and Hannah was flexible to our change of numbers and arrival date. Margot greeted us warmly and then left us to ourselves - perfect.
