Beautiful cozy place, with stunning surroundings. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway! Great location, 10mins drive to both Napier and Havelock. Thanks Ronald and Dzidra!

Great place! Friendly hosts too. Thanks Ronald!

Nice stay and host very helpful and accommodating. Perhaps not as elegant as expectations; perhaps a little cosy for two couples.

The house was nice. We loved the fresh apples on the table. Nice walk to the beach.

Ronald and Dzidra were lovely hosts who clearly took extra steps for us to have an enjoyable stay, such as setting the stage with mood music upon arrival and providing lots of helpful tips for dining and entertainment in the surrounding area. The locale is quiet and fairly secluded, yet minutes from the beach and downtown Clyde, and only a short drive to Napier or Hastings.

We were looking forward to this stop after reading the many positive reviews but found the property to be very primitive and badly maintained with no air conditioning and no fan provided. Very basic amenities and the cooker and barbecue were filthy. We moved on after one night as it was not to our liking. The location was fine.

at the gate to welcome us and show us round. quiet, private setting

Ray and Lou were very flexible with check in time which is great! Their place is also well located in a quiet and residential neighbor.

Good value and comfortable stay in a quiet residential area. Had fun with their dogs too!

Ray and Lou were lovely. Very welcoming into their immaculate home. They lent us an iron and gave great advice.

Hosts were lovely and very helpful. Place was great and very easy location - easy dribe to everything in Hawkes Bay Area. Thanks for a great stay.

It's a great place to stay if you have own transport and enjoy delicious breakfast

A romantic sweet room, spacious and design ! Good place between napier and hawkés bay

Great place to stay for a family of five! Communication was excellent, hosts friendly and the accommodation was comfortable.

Really great place to stay close to Napier. Very spacious with two big comfortable beds. Lou welcomed us and made us feel at home and told us some tips about the area and where to go. She left us some great bits which were much appreciated. I'd definitely look to stay again if back in the area, thanks again!

We had a fabulous stay in this fantastic house. The location is outstanding. The house is beautifully clean and extremely well equipped and stocked with everything you need. Helen is just lovely and we will definitely return and have no hesitation in recommending this property.

We had the wonderful 3 days here... the place is outstanding. It's just as listed; beautiful property which is kitted out fantastically and the garden and surroundings are amazing. Our host Helen looked after us really well and was available should we need her. We thoroughly recommend staying here.

The location is fantastic, right next to Hawke's Bay, with views from most of the rooms. Helen provided some food to get us started, which was a real bonus after a day's drive. The house is clean and nicely decorated and stocked with everything you need. If consistent wi-fi is important to you, this might not be your place. Some in our group needed to check in with work, and the wi-fi did not always work.

Wonderful stay at a gorgeous home! our host Helen couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating! We are so grateful to Helen for all of her help, great communication and kind efforts. It was so nice to come home to freshly made beds, awesome kitchen supplies and even fresh fruit! We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the neighbourhood as well. Our first air Bnb experience couldn't have been smoother and feeding the local eels was a cool experience :) next time I am in the area I will certainly stay again! I would definitely recommend to any friends and family for a holiday

Beautiful location with spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Helen greeted us warmly and explained everything clearly, great pantry with everything needed for first breakfast which was very much appreciated. My adult children enjoyed feeding the eels and the ducks and interacting with the cats. Beach very stony and hard to walk on without shoes also swimming great once you are in with feet off the seabed not particularly suitable for young children. We were a family group of 5 adults there for a wedding, Helen's home has an open plan living area which worked well. Only 1 bathroom and toilet was the only negative (we were aware when booking but not quite prepared for the reality) of what was a lovely 3 days. Thank you Helen for your wonderful hospitality.

Of the 60 or so AirBNB experiences I've had, my stay at Helen's place was my favorite. She is a warm and gracious host, going out of her way to share the delights of her magical property with us. The living room and two of the three bedrooms have lovely ocean views - the pictures do not do it justice. Her place in immaculately clean and well provisioned. We wish we had planned to stay longer!

we really enjoyed our stay at Helen's place . Beach view is fantastic. we are 3 couples and it was perfect fit . Helen is too sweet , she filled the fridge according to our taste and helped us with extra items we needed for cooking . We would definitely recommend this place and would love to re-book the same if we ever plan again to New Zealand . Never miss the place if available :)

Helen's place is lovely and the views are incredible. Can't recommend enough!

This little gem is nestled in the Napier/Hastings/havelock vicinity and ideally situated to explore the wineries, beaches, shops and restaurant of the area. If you are lucky enough to spend time with your hosts you will understand why this place is so popular and why, when you open the front door, that you feel welcomed and very comfortable. There is ample seating, inside and out and lovely comfortable beds and linen. This place is special and very accommodating, whatever your reason for visiting the area.

Highly recommend the cottage. Set in a beautiful location surrounded by flowers and space and the use of a pool, as well as close to both Havelock North & all the vineyards. The cottage itself was lovely, spacious rooms, fresh linen, lovely patio area. Julia was also very helpful and prompt. We are already planning to visit again!

Hawkesbury Cottages offered exactly what we needed and more. The cottage's location and decor scream "elegant countryside", while having all the modern amenities needed for a relaxing stay in the heart of Hawkes Bay. Close to wineries, orchards, restaurants and a quick drive to downtown Hastings and Haveloc North, and 15 min drive to Napier- we were able to do it all and still come "home" for a relaxing evening. Our little guy is 17 months, so we are normally stuck in a hotel room from 7pm on- but the spacious cottage with gorgeous outdoor space allowed us to enjoy ourselves past 7pm! Something I think many parents will appreciate! We plan on coming back to HB soon and would not consider staying anywhere else! Thank you to Julia and Hamish for opening up their gorgeous home to us!

Lovely original cottage and we enjoyed our stay. The gardens were lovely.

Such a lovely spot to just relax or use as a base to explore the Bay. Close to wineries and farmers markets. The pool is an excellent feature and the hosts couldn't me more accomodating or respectful of our space whilst there. Our second time there and we're likely to return!

It was like a weekend in a spa, with the most excellent hosts.

Carina and David where simple fabulous. We didn't miss anything. They made us feel at home. The breakfast was fantastic. The location was perfect for us, cycling etc. Great location....We didn't want to check out, but we had to move on. One day we are comming back.

We were lucky enough to be Corinna and Daves first Airbnb guests and what a lovely couple they are. They welcome you into their beautiful home like long lost freinds but also respect your need for privacy. The location was perfect for us, not far from Napier or Hastings with the bonus of the beach nearby plus a few shops if needed. We wish them well in their new venture and will definitely stay again in the future. Also not to forget people loving Paris the dog...very cute

Fiona was amazing. She was super helpful and friendly and her house is brand new. Would highly recommend and as I will definitely stay here again.

The house is gorgeous and super comfortable. It was the most beautiful accommodation on our three-weeks travel around NZ. Lola the cat is beautiful and super sweet.

Amazing house furnished beautifully with comfortable beds and living area.

Great location central to all the Hawkes Bay cities/towns and wineries. Modern and comfortable and Lola the cat is just adorable. Would happily stay again!

Fiona's house is beautiful and the room so comfortable! She's been so welcoming and hospitable, even helping me prepare for the wedding I went to. Would highly recommend to all of my friends

Fiona's place is great. Lovely house in a residential part of town about 6 minutes drive from the centre of Napier. Very comfortable and convenient. Easy driving access to some great wineries.

The house is very close to Napier city center, while enjoying the quietness of a secluded area. Fiona's house meets every need imaginable as well as providing great companionship with her cat Lola. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay at Fiona's place. Very comfortable place and close to downtown Napier. Fiona was also a great host.

Great location, hosts and home. Just what me and my son needed after cycling down from Napier. Recommended!

Liz's place is fantastic. Right next to the beach for a walk in the morning. A nice deck out from the room and a relaxed atmosphere to make anyone feel at home.

Very Nice host and very beautiful house!

liz has a modern home with character in a beautuiful beach setting and is a friendly, welcoming host. what a great find!

Great house, easy going surroundings and Liz is awesome. Thanks again Liz!

Liz kept in touch before our arrival letting us know where the house is and checking on our needs. She was there when we arrived and made time to chat. Once she knew we were a mother and daughter, she set up a second bedroom.

Very friendly great spot.

Soooo Great!!!!

Lyndsey and her partner welcomed us warmly and we appreciated the time they took to make sure we had everything we needed. Their care shows through in the beautiful cottage and upon arriving we were excited and pleased at the quiet and serene area nestled on their beautiful property. Everything inside is perfectly clean and cozy and we had everything we needed. There was plenty of space to put our luggage and a large table to enjoy our meals and entertain on. During our stay we especially enjoyed the beautiful patio and watching the sun set over the fields. It truly made our holiday that much better. It is also conveniently located near a few wineries and some takeaway options that we visited. This is a must stay!

We found Aaron and Lindsay to be extremely welcoming. Lindsay provided us with a map of the local area marking out recommended eateries, sights, shops etc. The cottage was as described and set in beautiful park like grounds. Set in a very handy location close to beach and easy drive to townships of Napier, Hastings and Havelock. We enjoyed our very comfortable and peaceful stay, thanks

Lindsay and Aaron were great hosts and made us feel very welcome on their property. We enjoyed the setting and the location as we were visiting Napier, Hastings and Havelock North as well as a few beaches, and it was an easy drive to all of these. The surrounding area has lovely bike trails and it was good to be able to borrow bikes and have a ride around. Thanks for having us stay :)

Arron And Lindsay made me feel welcome from the time I got there to the end of my 10 day stay.I had a great time getting out and seeing Hawkes Bay by the Mountain Bike that was provided and maps of all the cycle ways was on hand to show me the way.What a beautiful little cottage with all the amenities to make my stay comfortable. Staying on a huge property with well kept gardens and Vineyards all around gave me a spectacular view of Rural living.

Had an enjoyable stay in their comfortable cottage, great hosts and very helpful, everything as described, thank you

What a lovely comfortable stay at Sandra's home - the bed was so comfy and I slept really well. Everything was as described.

Sandra is the perfect host, surrounded in a country like setting that is ideal to relax. Will definitely stay again. Highly recommend!!!!

This place is absolutely perfect. Wonderful host. Sandra is so friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home. The room and house are beautiful. 11 out of 10. Thank you

A wonderful and very comfortable stay. Sandra was a great host, would stay again.

Staying at Sandra's place was a pleasure. Her house is located in a very quiet area and surrounded by her garden and agricultural land. So we've got a perfect and quiet night of sleep and we were even happier, when we saw all the healthy and divers breakfasat supplies she prepared for us in the kitchen. Talking to Sandra was really interesting and we've got to know lots about New Zealand life and culture. We can highly recommend staying at her beautiful, spacious and super clean house.

Sonia made us feel welcome as soon as we got there She showed us around the house and then took us to our room She is an amazing host Thank you for inviting us into your beautiful home We enjoyed being out in the country it was very relaxing and homely

A lovely home set in a picturesque semi rural location. Great stay thank you Sandra, would definitely stay again!

It was a lovely experience staying here.Not too far from everywhere and the place is clean and tidy. We have enjoyed our stay.

Lovely home, spacious and sunny with a great outdoor area. Recommend!

Great location, handy to Napier and Taradale. Nice comfortable home with great deck outdoor area and lovely swimming pool. Thanks for a great stay and the awesome water pressure in the shower!

Nice, comfortable family home in a beautiful rural setting. Love the deck area!

We had an awesome stay at Paula's house! The house is beautiful and the deck and bbq were great. Also super stoked with the shower, the water pressure was amazing! Would totally recommend Paula's home to anyone looking for a base in the bay.

Fantastic host, older home which was meticulously clean. Kids loved the pool. Well recommended.

Aslantis is far and away one of the best places you can stay in the area. You have a quick 3 minute walk to the local Mart and bar. The views from the garden and breathtaking and the beach is right across the street. The interior is amazingly spacious and gives a feeling of home and warmth.

Duncan was a great host, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The fresh eggs and bits and pieces for breakfast were a thoughtful touch, thank you!

Duncan's place was great; clean, homely, in a great spot. We really enjoyed our stay. It had everything we needed. thanks Duncan.

Comfy beds, well equipped. Basic breakfast provisions provided which was great. Sheep behind the property which my daughter liked to feed :-)

Charles is an excellent host and the house is charming - which is not a euphemism for primitive - all the mod-cons are fully functional in a fascinating old house Recommend!

We appreciated the prompt response from the host and accommodating us at such a late notice. The chalet was ideal for our family. The children really enjoyed the swing and ample outdoor space and foraging for walnuts to crack open and eat on the spot. The animals were also an extra bonus.

This was a great house to stay et with lovely hosts.
