Stunning deck views of Ta Mata peak

We had The Lavender Cottage, with stunning deck views of Ta Mata peak - a definite must on your list of things to do and see in the area. The cottage had 3 immaculate bedrooms and a spacious lounge, kitchen, dining area. The bathroom also housed a washing machine if you needed it. The little extras like the fresh milk in the fridge and tea/coffee on the counter helped us settle right in.

We didn't want to leave once our trip was finished and will definitely be back :)

Will Be Coming Again!

I was here Waitangi Weekend as part of a girl group for a birthday celebration. Venue is beautiful, very clean and staff were great when we encountered an issue with a window. With the owners coming over twice to check on us and make sure all was well. 10/10 would recommend for groups of friends or families (there's even a washing machine which would be awesome for families). Great experience and we all plan to book again. We might even turn it into an annual group visit!

Enjoyable stay

There was plenty of room, clean and tidy.My family were impressed with the facilities, and it was warm. Our whānau cooked up a nice breakfast on the morning we left. Loved the splendid views and you still had that feeling of being out in the country although Havelock North and Hastings is close. Really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you to the staff.👍😁

Excellent, relaxing and beautiful area to stay

Very nice setup of the unit. Bedrooms on either side of the building, with the kitchen, lounge and dining table in the middle.

Very nice view onto the orchards in front of the building and with Te Mata Peak in the distance. Easy to get to the restaurant for a drink or meal. Parking right by the side of the unit. Very private. Comfortable couches for a relaxing time after the many walks in the area.
