Beautiful property, quiet, cozy and close to Havelock North
We stayed at this amazing property with our family. We were surrounded by beautiful scenery and loved our time here. Lots of room and it was super cosy and quiet. Cam and Kate were really easy and great to deal with. We would stay here again!

It’s a beautiful and quiet house suitable for a big family or several couples.
This house is huge and very quiet. The manager is very friendly and nice to deal with, making our stay even more enjoyable. The swimming pool was the highlight for children and adults to enjoy. Great.

Spacious property ideal for family and friends
Gorgeous quiet spot with ample space. This place is huge! We didn’t use half the spaces - (formal dining and lounge) as opted to sit and eat outside and enjoy the view. Misunderstood the listing and didn’t realise there would be other people in the cottage beside the homestead sharing the pool and spa facilities. Thought it was an optional add on if the number of people required the extra space. Would stay again.

Great place for family gatherings.
We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Property had great space for a large group allowing for individual space and large enough rooms for everyone to gather. Great facilities. Luxurious enough without feeling uncomfortable and pretentious.

Great weekend
We had a great stay. Organised a chef to come in and cook for us on the Saturday which was a real treat.

About the host

Hosted by inneswill

Host profile image
Kate and I moved to Cape South early in 2020 primarily to offer yoga and wellness retreats at Cape South. We are both trained yoga teachers, and Kate is passionate about teaching mindfulness. Since our arrival at Cape South, we have been blessed with dozens of beautiful guests who surround us each retreat, nourishing themselves with delicious plant-based meals, relishing our mindfulness and yoga practices and connecting with each other. Many have become repeat guests and most of our retreats are now running at capacity. For more information see, www.katemcleay dot com When we aren't running retreats, Cape South is available to rent as a homestay.

Why they chose this property

Cape South sits quietly amidst the rural Waipuka hills. The roar of the surf, birdcalls from korimako, riroriro, tui and magpie are our usual chorus, and we seldom hear vehicles. There are 16-acres of manicured gardens, herb gardens, vege gardens, and steep wild eucalyptus plantations to explore. The beautiful magnesium-salt swimming pool, hot tub, infra-red sauna, gym and fully-equipped yoga studio add immense value to anyone's stay. There is always something for our guests to explore. Most guests arrive with ideas of making excursions to nearby attractions, but many arrive and don't want to return to their cars until they leave.

What makes this property unique

Each of the 6 ensuite rooms are very large and all have access to a generous verandah that surrounds the entire homestead and adjoins the cottage. There are plenty of privates spaces and the homestead lends itself well three-generation family gatherings or the celebration of special occasions with friends.
