About the host
Hosted by inneswill
The original Cape South Homestead was moved to the property in 2003.
The present owners bought it in 2015, and Kate and Cam moved into Cape South early in 2020 primarily to offer yoga and wellness retreats at Cape South. They continue to run these retreats at the property, but also make it available for rental. They feel a deep connection to this property & love to share it with others.

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
The location is perfect, being 10 minutes from fabulous beaches, with lovely walks nearby but also being just 15 minutes from the buzz of Havelock North village. There are wineries & restaurants to enjoy, as well as plenty of space to just relax & enjoy the property. There are plenty of private spaces and the homestead lends itself well three-generation family gatherings or the celebration of special occasions with friends.
