    All round excellent stay. Carol and Max were very friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. Cottage is a real home from home and has everything that you could possibly need. The pool is a great bonus and I would happily stay there again...

    Hi, the pool area is open but the pool is not heated so the water would be too cold to swim in it.

Come and enjoy a lovely location with animals grazing on one boundary and next to an apple orchard on the other two boundaries giving a relaxed holiday feeling yet so close to town. Each unit has its own verandah to sit and enjoy the views.
Max and Carol moved from Hamilton in 2000 to purchase and run a motel in Havelock North. After selling in 2003 they really missed the hospitality business so started up with just one cottage on their property of just over an acre but now have three.
Just along our road you will find a stall with the most beautiful cherries and also other lovely fruit, a fruit and vegetable shop and other stalls selling boysenberries, strawberries and blueberries are just a few minutes drive away.
