Clean quiet with great host
Spotlessly clean and well equiped house. Lovely and quiet in the country. Very friendly host (Tina) with excellent communication prior to stay. Beds unusually comfortable for a rental. My husband had a spa which he really enjoyed. We had our car so only a short trip into Napier.

Orchard getaway
This was a perfect getaway among orchards (many of them in blossom at this time of year). There was space around the house and the river nearby to keep the kids occupied, but it was just a short drive to Havelock North with dining, honey tasting etc. We enjoyed the outside bath, sauna and Netflix. The kids loved the two (adult) bikes as well. And the birdsong in the morning was almost deafening. Thanks for the lovely stay (the owners we never met :)!

Away from it all!
It was a great "experience to be away from it all" inland of Haumoana. The location is on a large orchard, with great views of the Tukituki River. We had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Thanks.

We had a lovely three nights stay at the property at Haumoana. Very relaxing and not too far from the three cities of Havelock North, Hastings and Napier. The perfect location. Very cozy place and inviting place to stay.

Tranquility Plus!
I stayed here the night before my wedding with my 2 bridesmaids, and we got ready here in the morning. My new husband and I then stayed the night of the wedding. From the word go, Tina and Joe were so accommodating. They gave us access to the river for the photos we wanted on our wedding day, and offered a late check out. Beautiful location, lovely clean cottage - the only problem was we didn't have time to use the outdoor bath or sauna!!! Highly recommend - if we ever need a quick local getaway, I know where to go!

We were a bit unfortunate with the weather-it rained everyday we were there. However the location is very nice-nestled in a working orchard. Its in close proximity to the cycle trail which is nice for any cyclists
