Thanks Carol. The King Studio was perfect for us as a base for two days visiting friends in the area. Warm, comfortable, good bed, en-suite that worked and kitchen bits that were ideal for two people. It was a good place to return to after a day away. We will return. Neil.

I stayed here with my daughter, and it was the best stay! It was so comfortable, and welcoming, I would have liked to have stayed for longer. Carol and Max are amazing hosts and went out of their way to make sure I had the best stay. They even brought over a high chair, bowls and a okay mat for my daughter. Honestly, can't recommend this place enough! Perfect place to stay in Hawkes Bay.

I’ve been spoilt by the anonymity of AirBNB - and come to think of it most contemporary accommodation providers. No paper work, no show you round the property, no this is a blanket…. Just a key and the wifi code. So the in-person, fussy check-in was over the top, stifling and set off my experience badly. Not boutique!! The location surrounded by a working orchard is quite pretty - especially with the blossoms out. The gardens round the main house are attractive. The 3units have little privacy, especially the one bedroom unit. They are plonked in the paddock, with little thought to views, privacy or solar orientation. The decks, and each and every window, over look each other. The studio -despite being straight onto the drive- is the most private. Not boutique. Once inside, Lazy Boys dominate the living area, focused at the huge screen TV. Theres ample Kiwi kitsch chintz- including coasters and placemats on each surface?!? A mix of dated and new fittings and decor- its classic kiwi accommodation from 10years ago - with new curtains. Not boutique. There’s A LOT of rules! If anyone actually gets past the page with the wifi code on!! No recycling is available. All bathroom products are single use and plastic wrapped. Nice plush carpet. Nice Denby crockery and Portmerrion bits. Bed was comfy. But no headboard. Only unit not to have a bbq. The bathroom was clean and … practical though the towels a little small and past best. Industry tea & coffee only provisions, in an otherwise well equipped kitchen. Wifi doesn’t extend to the bedroom. Check out is the old 10am kick out. Not boutique! Would recommend to a less discerning traveller. Wont stay again. If you want boutique accommodation in this area - Haumoana Herb Cottage.…

Perfectly located within 5min of both Hastings & Havelock North, the three cottages are nesseled beside a orchard well off the main road. The cottages are very well appointed with everything you need for a night or extended stay. Modern, spacious rooms and a comfortable bed. Large kitchen with everything you need as well as a BBQ on your front deck. Fast free WiFi as well. Carol your host is super helpful and she will help where ever she can. I will certainly be back on my next visit. 11 out of 10.

Really enjoyed our stay in the one bedroom cottage. It was spotless and the owners took great pride in their cottages. It was well equipped and we were able to barbeque every evening. Bed was comforatable and we loved the big chairs.

A great place to stay, fabulous hosts, and all the location convenience, yet far enough away to have a quiet nights sleep. Well appointed lodge rooms with a sunny outlook. Clean tidy and all the comforts of home.
