About the host

Hosted by John and Leonie

We are retired Havelock North locals who enjoy the quiet rural lifestyle on the boundary of the village. We live on the property in the separate main house, enjoy gardening, travel, and family time. The cottage is named after a medieval village in Suffolk, England, which has historical significance to our family.

Why they chose this property

Entry to Lavenham Cottage is through an automated security gate and tree-lined driveway. The cottage is stand-alone with its own parking area adjacent.

The new cottage has been purposely appointed for guests. Each of the king bedrooms at either end of the cottage has its own en-suite and French doors to the north-facing deck. The open plan living area features a stylish new kitchen, lounge with Chromecast and unlimited WiFi.

Lavenham Cottage is centrally located for accessing all that Hawke's Bay has to offer:
• 3km to Havelock North Village
• 7km to Hastings
• 18km to Napier
• Close to many wineries
• Easy access to bike trails

Havelock North Village has an abundance of cafes, restaurants and an array of diverse boutique stores and providores all set in a relaxed village atmosphere. Within a 10-minute drive from the cottage you will also find the highly regarded Black Barn, Craggy Range and Te Mata Estate wineries along with many more. A 20-minute scenic drive will take you to the stunning Te Awanga and Haumoana coastal area. The summer Black Barn Growers’ Market is nearby, and it's just a short drive to the substantial Hawke's Bay Farmers' Market.
