  • Hey how far away is this from splash planet? Is spa included? And are beds already to be slept in etc? We are planning on coming from morrinsville after milking in the afternoon so also won't get there till late so will that be ok to arrange late arrival?

    Hi there. Splash planet is 6 kms away. The spa is exclusively for the cottage . The beds are all made up and ready to go. The cottage has a keyless keypad on the front door so you can self check in any time . Hope this helps. Dean

    Hi Pete, the cottage has a lot of room for parking with a good turning area. A vehicle and trailer should fit just fine unless you are talking about an extra long trailer. Regards. Dean

Enjoy the luxury of staying in our brand new, beautifully constructed 3-bedroom cottage. We are 3km’s from the heart of the Havelock North. Located on an arterial route and I-way cycle trail into the village. We are situated in a lovely rural setting with orchards all round. Havelock North is fortunate to have some of the most renowned wineries, farmers markets, cafes, and restaurants in New Zealand. You will love exploring in our backyard. The cottage is fully self-contained and on separate grounds. There is so much to experience in Hawkes Bay and at the end of the day, relax and have a glass of wine on our large deck and enjoy a soak in the cottage spa. There is plenty of parking and room for a caravan on site. We look forward to seeing you soon! We live in the house on the adjoining property with our family and are available to answer any questions and help with any of your needs during your stay
We are a married couple with 3 children, all teenagers! We live on the adjoining property and have 2 dogs and 2 cats. We also have chickens (too many for Dean's liking) and a few sheep (with lambs at foot at times during the year) to keep us busy.
We are only 3 km's from the centre of the Havelock North village,. The cycle I way travels past our house and there is easy access to lovely walks and hikes in the surrounding. We are central to many lovely wineries, cafes, and restaurant's in the District. The Splash Planet water park is only 5 - 6 kms away.
