A little patch of paradise

This was our second visit to the cottage. Such a lovely spot for a little get away. We love the view, privacy and facilities that the cottage offers. The cottage is small and compact but has absolutely everything that you need. We nave decided that we will have to be sure to come back annually :)

Just what we needed

We had the most relaxing time at Sheryl & Paul's cottage on our NZ holiday. We needed a quiet stop and this had everything and more than we imagined. The spa at sunrise was just so beautiful, with the view and birds flying by. Sheryl and Paul were so friendly and if you miss your dog, then Bella (the labrador) is always keen for a belly rub!

A tranquil cosy cottage sitting atop the rolling green hills of Hawkes Bay.

We loved our stay in this cosy, well equipped, character cottage surrounded by great decking.The location is so special, with endless views of verdant, rolling green hills all the way out to the bay. Our host Sheryl and husband Paul whilst warm and welcoming, never intruded on our privacy and made it clear we were to treat the cottage as our own for the duration of our stay. Sheryl was very generous with fresh eggs from the girls, and fruit to die for from her orchard which you are readily encouraged to pick from. Her mandarines were the best we have ever eaten and we consumed a lot of them. Sheryl stocked the fridge with milk, eggs, bacon, bread, butter, homemade jam and even choccie biscuits and two bottles of local wine to get us started. The hot tub was very welcome after a days driving and exploration of the surrounding area's and vineyards of which there were many. The outdoor fire place was also put to good us of an evening as we sat around it enjoying our local wine purchases.l can truly recommend this property for those seeking some solace and tranquility, it was extremely hard to leave after 11 relaxing days. Thanks you Sheryl for your hospitality and sharing your special place with us and thanks to the girls for such awesome eggs !

This is a wonderful place to relax and explore the Napier area. The house is on a beautiful piece of property. When we arrived there were provisions in the fridge and Sheryl welcomed us. It was a very pleasant experience and we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. We were sad to leave.

Wonderful Stay!

I stayed here for two weeks and the experience was wonderful. Sheryl was such a welcoming and lovely host and accommodated us with whatever we needed or asked for. It was comfortable and the view and surrounding area was beautiful to experience, especially in the hot tub! Staying here was worth the extra bit of distance from Napier and Hastings because it felt so removed from the city and had lots of peace and quiet (including the occasional distant bleat of sheep or moos!). Because my partner and I are total homebodies, it was a nice place to experience and appreciate the nature in NZ on the days we didn't go out. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you have or plan to rent a car!

A great place for a restful break

This property is comfotable and welcoming. The host really makes it a home from home, they have many personal touches to make your stay a good one. The property is peaceful, quiet and with no light polution , a great place to sit out under the stars. There are so many places on the property to sit with very different outlooks, you will always have a place to rest.

Amazing holiday

This was easily one of the best places we've ever stayed at. Impeccable, functional, and stunning. The host (Sheryl) was friendly, kind, and helpful. She gave us our space, but was always on hand to help if needed. We will definitely come back if we can. I cannot say enough nice things about this gem of a place. 🙂

Outstanding location for those who desire bliss

I cannot possibly praise this place enough! The photos do not do it justice. Sheryl communicated with us perfectly prior to arrival and in even more detail when she knew she would not able to meet us on site as planned. In her absence, her husband, Paul, greeted us and was kind enough to show us around the property, giving us a bit of the history behind its evolution. What he and Sheryl have created in the landscape, the gardens, the decor and amenities in the unit itself are astounding. We had a long day getting there from Nelson and didn't arrive until after 5 PM. The fridge was stocked with enough goodies for us to make a light dinner and hearty breakfast. Every kitchen and bath detail one could wish for was available. The most comfortable robes you'll ever find got us to and from the nearby hot tub to relax under the full moon. And the morning sunrise greeted us through the windows/doors on the front of the building. The sounds of Tui and other birds feeding from the deck were delightful. (I think I even had a personal relationship going with the really fat Tui.) Our stay was too short. Please plan your stay to include at least 3-4 nights. Our next regret was in not getting to meet Sheryl, the artist who planned, designed and created the gardens which provided absolute zen with every view and breath.

Fabulous haven for relaxation in comfort

A magnificent country setting and a very well appointed cottage make this a truly special place to stay. The owners could not have been more helpful, yet give you total privacy in the accommodation. Excellent facilities. A well appointed kitchen, modern bathroom, and very comfortable bed all add to the experience. Wandering round the beautiful gardens, and soaking in the hot tub add extra bonus points to this truly amazing place.

Magical Memories

The overall experience felt like an outerbody experience!!! This is nature on steroids. Cheryl and Paul's studio, once you settle in you won't want to leave. Just sitting outside on the comfortable sofa while watching the birds drink from Cheryl's special formula was my favorite! Viewing the stars while sitting in the spa was high on the list too! Don't hesitate booking, we tried to extend our stay but the studio was booked so you might want to add a few more days to your stay..

The Ultimate R & R

What an absolute gem we were lucky to find for our 2 night getaway to enjoy the Robbie Williams concert and just to press pause for a moment. Paul and Cheryl Seafield Cottage is a credit to you both and you have thought of everything. Your warmth and hospitality is equally matched with utmost privacy to enjoy your stay at this beautiful spot. You went over and beyond with helping us with transport and we can’t thank you enough. These two people are true gems! And we couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. Thank you x

We had a fabulous time at Sheryl's place, which began with a warm welcome. We enjoyed free range eggs and a bottle of local wine, luxuriating in the spa, and spending time looking at both the countryside and the sea. We would highly recommend this lovely get-away.

About the host

Hosted by SHERYLV1

Old sports people who have played everything. We needed a new challenge which this property provided. We wanted to make a safe, tranquil environment for couples to come and really reconnect and recharge. Our feedback seems to say that we have succeeded in this.
Having come from a stressful corporate background myself, to find a place to take "time out" was paramount. Now sharing it with others is a unique experience, and mutually beneficial.

Why they chose this property

A childhood dream was to have a lifestyle block to grow my own fruit and veges with chooks and furry friends. We have a unique "getaway" and the most pleasure we have is to be able to share this with guests. We came upon this property while it was still in Pine forest. Watching it being felled whilst out cycling. It was a complete bomb site trees debris, stumps, rocks and pinecones. To transform it into my dream has been the best thing we have ever achieved. Looking down at the twinkling sea over the mess was enough to realise "this was the place"...Now with our plantings the native birdlife is returning. Big fat pheasants, wood pigeon, bellbirds, fantails, quail, Tui, friendly ducks etc etc. There is an abundance of fruit and nuts on our trees and we are living the dream.

What makes this property unique

Close to Napier's famous walkways and cycle ways. Stunning views. Peace and quiet to recharge the batteries from the drain of "life" these days. Also close to several top class wineries. The Mission, Church Road, Crab Farm, Linden Estate, Sacred Hill, to name a few.
