About this property
Charming and comfortable country cottage in Central Hawkes Bay
This delightful spacious cottage was built 30 years ago to capture the sun and views in the grounds of one of Hawkes Bays finest historic homesteads. Situated half an hours drive from Hastings and Havelock North the property is nestled in a beautiful valley surrounded by sheep, beef and arable farms. The 10 hectare lifestyle block has a few horses and chickens. Frequent visitors to the cottage are a fox terrier and a fluffy cat.
The 116 square metre house has been completely refurbished with new carpets, a new queen bed and exceptional furniture.
Please note that fresh eggs, milk, bread and butter are provided in the fridge along with cereals and seasonal fruit. This is for the first night only, after that you'll need to bring in whatever food you want for breakfast.
