Wonderful stay at Drewdrop Cottage

Drewdrop Cottage was the perfect location for our three- generation family holiday. Our three year old loved the “unicorn” - pony, the pool and the many toys. We all loved the peaceful view and the comfort and cleanliness at Drewdrop cottage, we would definitely recommend.

Comfortable & Homely

A large group of myself and friends stayed here, it was great and spacious! Had a swim in the pool when it was hot. Hosts are friendly and accommodating. Short drive to Havelock North. We stayed here for the purpose of going to Nest Fest as well which was a short taxi ride away which was great.

We had a wonderful stay at Dewdrop Cottage. It is clean, cozy and comfortable, a real home away from home. Fabulous hosts who let our daughter ride one of their horses. We will definitely be back.

Spacious beautiful country cottage

Wendy and John are wonderful hosts and Dewdrop Cottage is the perfect base for a holiday in Hawke’s Bay. We loved the views over the flowers to the paddocks, feeding the horses, the strong water pressure and the genuinely friendly hosts who live about 50 metres away in a separate house on the same property. The kitchen is well equipped and the linen is high quality. We are a family of 4 and stayed 10 nights and would definitely stay again!
