Spotlessly clean and well-equipped house in a lovely and quiet country setting. Beds unusually comfortable, friendly host, excellent communication. Great spot for breakfasts, evening drinks, and relaxation by the river.

Everything was wonderful! Tina and Joe are the most welcoming hosts, not to mention hard-working orchard owners. Beautiful peaceful location, not too far from the Overland Safaris to the gannet colonies at Cape Kidnappers, and to Te Mata peak. A bit further to Hastings and Napier, but worth the drive. Great place for a relaxing stay or a stay full of activities. We’d definitely stay again if our travels were to bring us this way in the future.

Lovely setting, and very very comfortable. We didn't spend a lot of time at the place, but actually it would have been nice to have spent more time there. It was very relaxing and close to Cape Kidnappers (or main destination) and Havelock North too.

Unfortunately there were ants everywhere and we had to throw out quite a bit of food. With the fridge the only safe place from them.
