Hawke's Bay Region chalets

An amazing view overlooking the orchards and the sea. You awake to the sun rising between your feet in bed...we took pictures every morning of the sunrise. The house is spacious and well fitted out with all that you need to enjoy your stay. The hosts were very accommodating and very pleasant. We would book this house again without question.

Didi's place is a comfy, tidy home with everything you could need for as long as you want! The decor is funky, retro and thoughtful, beds are comfy, bathroom is great, lovely linens and plenty of extra blankets. The breakfast yoghurt was Puhoi brand, thick and delicious, the muesli and fruit much appreciated. Ma's fish and chip shop is 30 secs down the road and their food is great, burgers included. Walk to town's eateries and shops, or to the marine parade to walk the esplanade and take in the sights. We enjoyed our stay tres much.

Had an amazing stay at Savana Estate! Both Pip and Sarge were super accomodating with every small request. The rooms were very nicely presented and having the pool there to cool off after a hot day was perfection! Only thing it’s missing would be air con in the room but having a fan on over night seemed to do the trick. Only a short drive to Havelock North but also had a BBQ which we took full advantage of so we didn’t have to nominate a designated driver in the evenings. Would definitely recommend staying at Savana to all my family and friends. If we are back in the area would definitely look at staying there again.

This exceeded my expectations- Anita was very welcoming and I had a refreshing visit.

This was an amazing place to stay!When we arrived, the place had all the lights on, and was so welcoming, and the beautiful fire was on, the lock box meant immediate entry, and the arrival was very welcoming!The home itself is a marvel- the architecture is so beautiful, and for our group of eight adults, (our family and their partners were staying to celebrate our youngest's 18th birthday), it was just perfect!Three levels, so much room to spread out, and warm and cosy, but very spacious! Lots of windows and light, lots of quirky areas- the bridge from the top level to the garden was a highlight for our girl! Fruit trees and beautiful location- a two minute walk from the Faraday museum, right beside the botanical gardens, and so close to town!The owners were so thoughtful- as well as lighting and heating the home for our arrival, they had milk for us in the fridge- the spacious kitchen was so well stocked, and had so many basics- not just tea, coffee and sugar, but lots more! Lots of spare soaps, toiletries etc in case you forget to bring your own! Separate recycling containers as well as the bin in the kitchen meant easy separation of the rubbish. The home itself was an architectural delight, and we loved exploring it! We all said we would have loved to live there- a truly special holiday location, and we had the most amazing time!AWESOME location-for the weekend we managed to fit in the museum, botanical gardens, the aquarium, shopping, market, restaurant n more!
