Beautiful character home furnished with antiques.

An absolutely beautiful home! We had the most comfortable stay, the hosts were accommodating - allowing for an earlier check-in time, and very thoughtfully left a few essentials like milk, bread and eggs. Couldn't fault our stay A!

Amazing property that you don’t come by often let alone get the chance to stay in. We had a group of 13 adults celebrating a couple birthdays and the house is very spacious with plenty of communal areas

Incredible property - exactly as described

Very spacious with excellent grounds and hosts. I rated 4 star for cleaning as there was dust on the headboards and a 4 star for listing accuracy as the listing stated air conditioning and a drier which were not there, and a fireplace which we were advised we could not use. However, each room is well equipped with an oil heater and there is a large gas fan heater in the main living room. Once heated, we found the house plenty warm enough. There are ample blankets if required. Overall, the hosts were very accommodating and we found it an amazing place to stay with a large group (9 adults). Would stay there again.

Perfect for our group of families in HB for an event. Great character house, would be wonderful to have a full weeks holiday here in summer with the grounds and pool.

Relaxed week long stay in a gracious Villa with lots of old world charm. Large rooms, high ceilings, eclectic mix of beautiful antiques & comfortable modern furnishings. Felt like a home not a hotel.Garden spaces provided both sunny & shady options for outdoor meals or relaxing. Very private. Lovely small pool in a leafy corner.A few kitchen & outdoor furniture items could do with updating or refreshing.Host was very friendly, attentive, and often made themself available to chat.Our family would happily stay here again.

Amazing house with lots of room for activities.One bedroom is semi attached to one of the others which is nice to have the kids close if need beThe owner is nice but he does visit unannounced often.The pool was great.

A lovely large character home with easy access to parks and the centre of Havelock North and rest of Hawkes Bay and Napier area

Such a beautiful and well equipped place to stay with family - close to everything and very special! We will definitely be back. Thank you!

If what you're looking for is a large house with space both internally and externally for people to spread out, and also a place with historic interest and grandeur, this is your location. There are 5 bedrooms in the main house, and 2 lounges, one of them quite huge, with a long formal table which we used for playing games mainly. We were there in summer, and the focus of our group was the kitchen at the back, whose windows open on to the the bbq/outdoor dining area with a beautiful pergola, and the swimming pool. The swimming pool was clean, the gated area is really great for hanging out and the kids couldn't get enough of it. The other thing that I really enjoyed about the house is that for a garden and tree lover, there was a lot to appreciate. There are several large oaks and a very old and established Ash with a nice swing installed underneath. Honestly, I can't imagine a much more ideal place for my extended family to stay, and there were very few problems with the stay. The gas ran out for the bbq, but Denis replaced it quickly once we let him know. Thanks again Denis! I hope we get the chance to stay here again in future.
