Shona and Jason were great to deal with and always prompt in their replies to our inquiries and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Wonderful, friendly hosts. We really appreciated them ensuring the property was fully fenced for our little dog, so we could relax while she was exploring outside. Was lovely having treats for us to enjoy in the fridge on our arrival. Games room with table tennis table and skateboard were a huge hit! Really close to all our favourite destinations in havelock north and great access to the rest of Hawkes Bay. We would stay again. ##### Natalie E.
