Charles is an excellent host and the house is charming - which is not a euphemism for primitive - all the mod-cons are fully functional in a fascinating old house Recommend!

We appreciated the prompt response from the host and accommodating us at such a late notice. The chalet was ideal for our family. The children really enjoyed the swing and ample outdoor space and foraging for walnuts to crack open and eat on the spot. The animals were also an extra bonus.

This was a great house to stay et with lovely hosts.

Fantastic accommodation in a beatutiful location. Anne was very flexible with our arrival time and we booked at short notice so we were lucky she could accommodate us...even luckier that we were Anne's first guests! Great proximity to the cycle hire and an easy walk/cycle to a superb restaurant at Elephant Hill.

Anne's place is an awsome place to stay when you are around Napier. The accomodation is located ca. 15 - 20 minutes outside of Napier in Haumoana but you are right at the beach! The studio you stay in is a small guest house at the back of the property with an nice view on the sea. It is a self contained accomodation with stuff for the breakfast in the fridge. Internet is available but only outside near Anne's place since there is no router in the studio. We found everything tidy and clean. We slept comfortable in the bef as well. I can definetely recommend this place. We stayed there only for one night but could easily stay there much longer. Anne herself is an easy to talk to person and answered me always right away.

We booked Anne's Bach for a weekend away, and it was exactly what we were after. A great place, in a great location and Anne couldn't have been more helpful. There was tea, coffee, breakfast things. Couldn't have asked for more

We had a great time! Anne was a lovely host and we loved being so close to the ocean. Wifi was there and worked very well during our stay. Wouldn´t it be so far from Germany we would love to come back next week! Thank you Anne!

Anne's place is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Hawkes Bay sunshine. The studio is clean, spacious & comfortable. We had a lovely stay & would highly recommend staying here to fellow travellers :-)

The studio was well set up and had everything we needed for a great weekend. It was really quiet and peaceful and we would love to visit again.

We stayed for 3 nights and could easily stay longer. The studio was so comfortable, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. It is right on the beach and very close to the nearby towns. Anne is a wonderful host, very friendly and helpful should you need any information in regards to the area. We had a great stay in Haumoana. Thank you for having us Anne!

Look no further! If you are visiting hawkes bay as a single or couple this is the perfect setup. Completely private room, 100% clean and nice. Great bed, excellent location (literally on the beach and 2 mins walk to the start of the vineyard trail). Close to Napier and everything you want. Very friendly home owner but you feel as though you have full privacy due to the private suite. This was our first Airbnb experience and it was excellent. Thanks so much. Better than any hotel/motel we saw in Hawks bay! Will stay again. Thanks

Great Cottage, Great Hosts, Great Destination

What a great spot! Such a cute room, would definitely stay again.

We had a great time, very comfortable and modern accomodation.

A gorgeous, well-appointed, little cottage by the sea with lots of design flair and style, that ensured a relaxing and comfortable stay. The seaside location is incredibly peaceful and charming. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Thanks :)

Ryan and Rebecca were fantastic hosts and were very quick to communicate. Our room was beautifully decorated, clean, light filled and comfy. There's a great bed which meant we had fantastic sleeps. The other room was slightly smaller but perfect for what we needed. The only thing worth mentioning is the bathroom is outside, seperate from the two rooms. It's a lovely modern bathroom but you do have to walk outside to reach it.

Nice location, lovely cottage but a bit pricey for what you get.

We had the most wonderful four nights at this gorgeous beachside cottage. It was just perfect for two couples and we had a super relaxing time. The beds were like clouds, the kitchen was so well appointed for us to enjoy BBQs on the patio and the rain shower was a wonderful touch of luxury. Everything has been so well thought of to ensure a comfortable, stylish and relaxing stay. We loved exploring the local area, and it was a great base for trips further afield to wineries and walks. And speaking of walks, a stroll along the beach starts just metres away from the accomodation. Just lovely, we hope to be back some day! Rebecca and Ryan seem awesome and their communication was brilliant :-)

A beautifully decorated bach in a nice area owned by a lovely couple who make fantastic hosts.

We had a fabulous stay in this fantastic house. The location is outstanding. The house is beautifully clean and extremely well equipped and stocked with everything you need. Helen is just lovely and we will definitely return and have no hesitation in recommending this property.

We had the wonderful 3 days here... the place is outstanding. It's just as listed; beautiful property which is kitted out fantastically and the garden and surroundings are amazing. Our host Helen looked after us really well and was available should we need her. We thoroughly recommend staying here.

The location is fantastic, right next to Hawke's Bay, with views from most of the rooms. Helen provided some food to get us started, which was a real bonus after a day's drive. The house is clean and nicely decorated and stocked with everything you need. If consistent wi-fi is important to you, this might not be your place. Some in our group needed to check in with work, and the wi-fi did not always work.

Wonderful stay at a gorgeous home! our host Helen couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating! We are so grateful to Helen for all of her help, great communication and kind efforts. It was so nice to come home to freshly made beds, awesome kitchen supplies and even fresh fruit! We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the neighbourhood as well. Our first air Bnb experience couldn't have been smoother and feeding the local eels was a cool experience :) next time I am in the area I will certainly stay again! I would definitely recommend to any friends and family for a holiday

Beautiful location with spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Helen greeted us warmly and explained everything clearly, great pantry with everything needed for first breakfast which was very much appreciated. My adult children enjoyed feeding the eels and the ducks and interacting with the cats. Beach very stony and hard to walk on without shoes also swimming great once you are in with feet off the seabed not particularly suitable for young children. We were a family group of 5 adults there for a wedding, Helen's home has an open plan living area which worked well. Only 1 bathroom and toilet was the only negative (we were aware when booking but not quite prepared for the reality) of what was a lovely 3 days. Thank you Helen for your wonderful hospitality.

Of the 60 or so AirBNB experiences I've had, my stay at Helen's place was my favorite. She is a warm and gracious host, going out of her way to share the delights of her magical property with us. The living room and two of the three bedrooms have lovely ocean views - the pictures do not do it justice. Her place in immaculately clean and well provisioned. We wish we had planned to stay longer!

we really enjoyed our stay at Helen's place . Beach view is fantastic. we are 3 couples and it was perfect fit . Helen is too sweet , she filled the fridge according to our taste and helped us with extra items we needed for cooking . We would definitely recommend this place and would love to re-book the same if we ever plan again to New Zealand . Never miss the place if available :)

Helen's place is lovely and the views are incredible. Can't recommend enough!

Great place to stay, warm and vibrant house, private but with great views and amazing hosts. Lots to do nearby with vineyards and the ocean. Close to everything you need but a quiet country feel. Perfect for a weekend getaway!

Perfect nights stay. Just what we needed. Clean, comfortable and quiet. Jason was a fantastic host. Highly recommend!

Jason was so hospitable and a fantastic host. Very accomodating and the bed and sheets were incredible. Accomodation was cosy, unique and quiet! Would recommend Jason's place any day!

Great location, hosts and home. Just what me and my son needed after cycling down from Napier. Recommended!

Liz's place is fantastic. Right next to the beach for a walk in the morning. A nice deck out from the room and a relaxed atmosphere to make anyone feel at home.

Very Nice host and very beautiful house!

liz has a modern home with character in a beautuiful beach setting and is a friendly, welcoming host. what a great find!

Great house, easy going surroundings and Liz is awesome. Thanks again Liz!

Liz kept in touch before our arrival letting us know where the house is and checking on our needs. She was there when we arrived and made time to chat. Once she knew we were a mother and daughter, she set up a second bedroom.

Very friendly great spot.

Soooo Great!!!!

Great stay, thank you! Very friendly and helpful hosts. Excellent location, not far from everything Hawks Bay has to offer

If you looking for a stay in a familiar atmosphere this is the right place. Janice and Roger are lovely hosts with great tips and a lot of interesting stories. We felt like home. Thank you for your warm and welcoming hospitality.

Roger & Janice are wonderful hosts we were made to feel extremely welcome as soon as we arrived and throughout the whole weekend. Very friendly and hospitable. We found having a private/seperate part of the house for guests is a nice touch as I think it just makes people feel more comfortable in a new environment. The flexibility with checkout time is and was amazing aswell! Breakfast was good with a selection of cereals and spreads for toast. Hot drinks and juice aswell!

Roger & Janice are great hosts very welcoming& easy to get along with . They offer very good accommodation & breakfast ,we would certainly recommend them as an ideal B&B. Janice & Barry

Had a great trip up to clive for a family wedding. The accomadation was super comfortable and they were very welcoming. They gave us a lift to the wedding and just made the whole experience great!

Great hospitality by Jan and roger. Thank you so much for having us and making our stay pleasant. Would love to back again soon. Perfect location to visit entire hawks bay everything so near and connected from Clive.

Highly recommended for all travellers, very nice place and people. Thank you Roger and Janice for the great stay.

It was a pleasure staying at Roger and Janice's place. Perfect location, facilities and hospitality. Communicating with the host is our most enjoyable experience. Definitely come back if we have the chance!

Beautiful and well equipped cottage. Everything you need for cooking or relaxing in a beautiful setting. Easy bike to wineries and beach. Very private but owners nearby if needed.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Kimberly's place was perfect for our three day break from our van! The location is great amongst the vineyards and close enough to Hastings and Napier in case you need anything. However you won't need much as they have thought of everything in the cottage. The check in was seamless and Kimberly was available if ever we needed her, which we didnt as everything was set! As a comfy bed expert, I can confirm the bed and linen were heavenly. Thank you for our lovely romantic stay...our breakfasts at the coffee bar gazing out at the vineyard was the best way to wake up!

This place is a hidden treasure! The view is relaxing and peaceful, and the ocean is a 2 minute drive away. It's situated not far from town, so grabbing food was super easy and we had hikes, wineries and city exploring (Napier) all within our reach. Kim was great in communicating with us prior to check in and had several goodies for us to enjoy over our stay. We definitely plan on staying here again!

Wow! This cottage is truly amazing. Wonderfully romantic with every detail covered to make the stay perfect! The use of the bikes (which are in excellent condition) was wonderful to explore the area and tour the vineyards. Really great kitchen with stunning view from the breakfast bar with everything you need (including champagne glasses and wine bucket!). Highly recommend a stay in this beautiful cottage.

This place is incredible! So glad I chose to stay here; it was the highlight of my AirBNB's in NZ for sure. The cottage is beautiful and spacious. The bed was insanely comfortable, shower was great, and the kitchen had everything I needed. Enjoyed a great breakfast with fresh eggs. The bikes were nice to have to ride to the nearby wineries. I also enjoyed sitting on the patio with the view of Kimberly's own vineyard, drinking the bottle of wine she left upon check in. Every detail is so well thought out! Thanks for the lovely stay; I can't wait to come back!

This is a perfect place to stay and we are seasoned travelers. The cottage is beautiful with gorgeous views. It is meticulously clean and unbelievably well apportioned. You have everything you need from kitchen and appliances, laundry intelligently planned rooms, comfortable beds, wonderful outside patio where you sit and watch the vineyard. This cottage, situated on a vineyard, is breathtaking in its views. It is comfortable but not stuffy. There are biked. The area is full of interesting and fun things to see and do. Kim and Bruce are very gracious hosts from the stocked breakfast, bottle of wine, and their company of course Our one big regret is that we didnt stay longer, only two nights. This is a perfect getaway, dont miss it!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Very romantic setting. We had a very nice welcome from Kim and Bruce. The location was nice, as we visited a few places from there. The view over vineyards was nice and we were very lucky with the weather :)

Perfect secluded and private cottage. Perfect if doing bike trails as less than 5 minutes ride to trail. Absolutely perfect accommodation in every way.

Great location!--equidistant (abt 15 minutes) to Havelock North, Hastings, and Napier so even being in the country you still have a very convenient access to these places for restaurants grocery stores etc and the options for nearby wineries are endless. Highly recommended!

Impeccable attention to detail, wonderful service, stunning scenery, serene and romantic. Perfect location to vineyards and direct roads into all the surrounding cities. Great place to cycle with 2 bikes provided and the sunrises and sunsets are stunning. Surpassed our expectations and the pictures do not do it justice. You'll enjoy fresh herbs and organic produce, privacy, modern furnishings and a very comfortable bed. We absolutely loved our stay and you will too!

Peaceful, all natural, CLEAN and so relaxing! Would have loved to stay much longer!

We had a wonderful two night stay at Brigids place! Lovely little tidy cottage in such a scenic, beautiful location with everything we could have needed. Great breakfast provisions too. We enjoyed visiting Te Mata peak as well as Havelock North and some local wineries. Thanks Brigid for a great stay!!

If you are looking for seclusion and comfort in beautiful surroundings you'd be hard pressed to beat this place. Set in the middle of an organic orchard with lemons, limes, figs, feijoas and avocados, this charming cabin offers lovely views and good facilities. The cabin is small but well equipped, with good fittings, nice bathroom with excellent shower. We enjoyed the nice personal touches likes the lemons and avocados in the fruit bowl and the wonderful home-made muesli for breakfast. If you are really into cooking you might have to improvise a little but in the summer months using the barbecue outside opens up more options. There are well-maintained bikes and we made good use of them to explore the local area. Highly recommended.

Lovely little cottage to spend some relaxing days in the Hawkes Bay area.

Herb cottage is fabulous place, can feel such a beautiful New Zealand landscape. We really enjoyed take a breakfast in the terrace with scenic of cattle and sheep farm, fruits field, and awesome morning sun shone into their. We wanted to stay at Herb Cottage more longer. It was lovely time!!

Loved our stay at Parkhill Lodge. Julie and Dennis were both really friendly and welcoming. House was immaculate and had everything you could need. Kids loved the pool and friendly dogs. Thoroughly recommend!

Julie and her family were great hosts. The location was perfect, and being a large party of 7 (4 adults and 3 children) the house was perfect. Highly recommend staying for a couple of days. Everything was clean and tidy, and Julie and Dennis made us feel very welcome. We will be back!

Thiswas by far the best stay EVER we had and that we will have in New Zealand! Highly recomended!

We enjoyed our stay, Julie has ensured that everything is set up well for guests, large rooms,comfortable beds, and quality linen. We recommend this accommodation

Had such a lovely stay at the Parkhill Lodge! Dennis and Julie greeted us on arrival and were extremely friendly and helpful when checking us in and providing info on things to do around the area. The lodge was very clean and was stocked with lots of cooking essentials. Loved the warm swimming pool and used the handy BBQ located right outside our room. We also took out bikes provided to us to check out the wineries located nearby. I would definitely recommend the lodge to everyone, as it was a great 2 days. They also have cute and friendly dogs!!

Lovely scenic spot, welcoming friendly helpful hosts. A must visit!

River Bliss is in a great location, very convenient to cafes, pub, restaurant and cycle tracks. Susan and Charlie are great hosts and nothing was too much trouble, would recommend this accomodation

Our stay was perfect. We felt welcomed and pampered, the whole experience was relaxing, stylish and friendly. A glass of wine was waiting for us along with breakfast for the next day. We couldn't have had a better stay.

Susan and Charlie are outstanding hosts, they made sure we were comfortable throughout our entire stay. The room/unit itself is private and relaxing and we enjoyed our nights on our deck overlooking the river and the surrounding wildlife! Total bliss!!

This is a great location and is well appointed. This would be one of the best airbnb stays we have visited to date. Susan made us feel very welcome

Susan's place is a beautiful haven in a beautiful city. We stayed here for 2 nights. The unit is exactly as it appears in photos, decorated beautifully with Susan's handmade artwork. All the amenities we needed were available, and some more. Only a small kitchenette, but plenty of food places within walking distance. The closest is a lovely cafe down the driveway of the house. Susan was very approachable and available should you need anything, however there is plenty of privacy should you prefer this. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Susan's place ranks among our top airbnb experiences. The location in Clive is perfect, - restaurant for breakfast and coffee at the end of the drive, walking distance to Pub, restaurant, Shops etc. Halfway between Hastings and Napier with many of Hawkes Bay top wineries within a 15 minute drive. Susan is a great host with great suggestions for places to eat and drink. The property is practically on the river bank with abundant bird life on the doorstep. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful place to stay a real gem in the Napier area. Your host has spared no expense in making there place five star, from the wine to the linnen. The grounds are so relaxing with the water just outside your back door with racing prams on the water. Oh the plumbs from their orchard are really juicy.

We stayed for the first night of our honeymoon and thought it was perfect! Richard and Joanne gave us complete privacy n the room was warm and comfortable

Small, compact bed/living room with ensuite. Modern and comfortable. Shady outdoor space for BBQ and eating. Fantastic hosts. A great spot to explore from.

Really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable bed, kitchen had all the necessities, and bathroom had a fantastic shower. Great location, and loved only having to walk a few steps until we were at the beach.

Great place to stay and a good base for exploring Hawkes Bay. Proximity to the beach, cycle tracks and vineyards on the door step are real perks of this place. Very comfortable apartment. Highly recommended.

Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise. We loved the close proximity to the beach and vineyards, especially Elephant Hill and Clearview Wineries which are both within easy walking distance. Super quiet location and a very comfortable and warm space. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious yoghurt, milk and granola.

Tranquil and ataahua. Great hosts and leave you to soak up your environment. Highly recommend.

Richard and Joanie's was exactly what we were looking for. Walking distance to Clearview Estate, and a short drive to Havelock North, Hastings, and the Te Mata Peak hike. The space was comfortable and clean- just as pictured! We took full advantage of the BBQ and porch. The milk, yogurt, and cheese they provided was more than enough to make the stay worthwhile! Thanks again!

Lovely location, studio was light and airy. Only thing that was a negative was the constant hum from something in the garage which the studio is attached to. The complimentary muesli, yoghurt, milk and cheese sample were yummy and definitely make me want to purchase more of their products. Super comfortable bed and all in all, a nice place for our 2 day escape.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft in einer sehr schönen Lage. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr liebevoll und man muss sie einfach gern haben.

Joy is a welcoming and easy-going host, providing a simple but homey room with ensuit bathroom, she's offering tasty organic breakfast and nice communication. The house is a quiet and relaxed place with a lovely backyard, green and sunny. we enjoyed staying there

A great place to recharge your batteries! Joy was very welcoming and spent time discussing places to visit locally and making sure I knew where I was going etc. Her beautiful cat was also very welcoming! The room was comfortable and the ensuite great. Thanks Joy!

The host canceled this reservation 84 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a lovely stay at Joy's! Joy was very flexible with our late check-in. Location wise it's a great place to stay if you're looking at doing a cycling tour of the wineries. Thanks Joy!

Joys place is in a quiet scenic location close to the sea. An excellent place to stay whilst exploring the local area. My wife and I stayed for 2 nights. Joy was a very welcoming and friendly host who made us feel very much at ease whilst sharing her home. Highly recommended.

Joy was a very nice Host. She gave us all the information to travel around the area and gave us a tidy and clean room with soft sheet made of organic cotton. The breakfast was nice and chatting with her has been more than a pleasure. I highly reccomend this host. PS: she has a wonderful lemoon tree in her backyard, lemon fruits were simply amazing :)

A lovely comfortable home near the seaside with everything you need

The space is roomy, bright and well laid out; plenty of room for 2 people and could accommodate a family of 4. Nicely decorated - it's a great seaside escape! There's a proper stove (including an oven) and a full sized fridge and freezer. The bed was large and comfortable. Great location, a short walk away from the beach/ocean and there are some wineries down the road. Christina was very helpful and gave great advice for things to do in the area. We had our own private entrance.

Lovely décor at this well located home, quality linen and furnishings, comfy beds. Great spot to locate yourselves for a winery tour, as we did. The family home is above this unit yet we did not hear a single noise all weekend. Would highly recommend.

A great apartment in a fantastic location. Christina was a lovely host, even letting us borrow some bikes for a quick wine tour! Having a big fire in the stove at night was really great. Thanks!

Kuku Cabana is a fantastic place to stay. The place is very clean and tidy and well appointed with everything you need. Christina is very hospital and helpful, communication was great- prompt and clear. We also love the friendly dogs and cat Would thoroughly recommend Kuku Cabana to stay!

Amazing spot, Christina made us feel very welcome when we first arrived. We borrowed the bikes and went for a nice little bike ride. Would definitely recommend to others :)

Thanks so much Christina! We had a lovely night here, wish we could have stayed another night or two, there is so much to explore in the area. Christina and Gary were very welcoming, great communication. They have good knowledge of the local area and can recommend what to see and do. Accommodation very comfortable.

Great space, would really recommend it!

Very nice and clean Cabana. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely come back again.

My husband and I stayed at Tessa's studio for three nights and we honestly wished we booked to stay longer. Tessa is a lovely host, kind thoughtful and even though her home is next door it's very private. The location is brilliant, you can hear waves crashing over the pebbled beach, native birds chirping and the peaceful hum of bikes going past as you are right on the Hawkes Bay Vineyard Bike Trail. The studio is beautifully presented with a fantastic outdoor area with BBQ, sea views and outdoor furniture. We would highly recommend staying here you are a short walk or bike ride from Cape Kidnappers and top vineyards and a easy car journey away from Napier if you want to explore! Thank you so much Tessa.

Very nice studio, calm, clean, with a wonderful view on the ocean. We appreciated the generosity and the artistic talents of Tessa.

The host canceled this reservation 114 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I would highly recommend this property, the images do not do the house justice. The location is great for cycling as you are directly on the trails. You can walk two minutes and be in the sea swimming. There are wonderful flowers and eclectic pieces around the garden. The house was very clean and comfortable. Tessa provided lots of items for use such as honey, jam, bread, milk, fresh fruit and avocadoes which was very thoughtful. Tessa is very friendly and welcoming but leaves you as much privacy and space as you need. The location is no more than 20 minutes from most of what Hawkes Bay has to offer. I would recommend this as a great place to stay. I only wish I had been able to stay there longer but my plans were changing. This has been one of the nicest places I have stayed at in my two months in New Zealand, well done Tessa a great homely and thoughtfully decorated studio with all the facilities you could need and a warm friendly face to advise you on the area. Hope to see you again when I get the chance to stay in New Zealand in the future.

Beautiful studio, perfect decor and so nice to sit outside. Bed huge and very comfortable. Beach just across road. Only 30 mins to Napier. Would strongly recommend.

Tessa answered all our queries promptly and was there to greet us when we arrived. She is a great host. The stay was perfect. Near the beach and in the tranquil, seaside village of Te Awanga. It was exactly how it was described and precisely what we needed. When we requested a later check-out to fit in with our plans it was no problem. I wholeheartedly recommend this as a place to stay if you want peace and quiet and access to local wineries, cafes and the beautiful Hawke's Bay.

Wonderful cottage across the street from the ocean...the only sound we heard at night were the waves of the ocean. The well equipped cottage had all our needs for our stay. If you like the seclusion from a noisy town then you will like this place.

Peaceful location. Thanks for a friendly welcome.

Lovely home. Clean and welcoming.

Very nice and friendly hosts. The house are very tidy and have awesome river view. Definitely would recommend to friends.

Mary was very kind to let me stay there while she was away.

Mary and Brian were great hosts. Very accommodating for a family with a 2 year old and 8 month old boys. They friendly, welcoming, heaps of toys for the boys to play with inside and out. Great view and location, suited us perfectly. Thanks for accommodating us and hope to see you again.

Lovely, bright and modern accommodation. Very warm welcome from a lovely couple. Bedroom and bathroom clean, comfortable and private. Great location overlooking the river.

Mary and Bryan are the best hosts. So friendly and relaxed and happy to share their home. We felt like we had found our kiwi family and never wanted to leave! Their house is close to the river, vineyards, beaches and restaurants. A perfect place to stay.

Nice clean rooms and friendly hosts. Recommend to all. Thanks!

It was a beautiful spot to sit and look at the river. Very comfy bed. Mary and Bryan were very hospitable, highly recommend
