South's from down South

We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was comfortable and peaceful with all facilities as you would expect. Bed was comfortable and hosts were very friendly and obliging - even allowing us to use their own washing machine.A good price for a very good unit not far from Napier. We would highly recommend.

Christmas with 4 generations of family

Spent Christmas with my wife's family. The studio was tranquil which we needed at the end of each day with the family. Family was only 5 minutes away which made travel easy and quick. Weather was very humid even at night. We were thankful for the fan, however it was inadequate so sleep was poor.

This has everything you’ll need

I came from Auckland to visit my mother in law in the rest home. This location was so handy, the place was clean, with a good sized fridge in the kitchenette with absolutely everything you could possibly need to self cater, even an air fryer, which I love using at home. The host was lovely and I really liked those extra touches that made me feel welcome.

Bike the vineyards.

Enjoyable stay, well equipped cottage. Loved being out in the country with view across the farmland adjacent. Great to have secure place for bike. Sadly it rained the day we planned cycling but lovely coffee in Taradale as a substitute.
