We spent 4 nights at Fig Cottage. The location was perfect, being on the same plot of land as the host's home, down a no-exit street so very quiet. It's just a few minutes drive from the centre of Havelock North. The property was extremely clean with fresh flowers and chocolates waiting for us. Breakfast was really good - cereal, yoghurt and cheesy muffins, with plunger coffee and tea.Christiana is an amazing host, promptly replenishing any supplies we needed. Communication was via text to her mobile, so very easy. We would definitely stay there again.

Living in a Garden

Fig cottage is such an appropriate name. You are living in a delightful cottage on the edge of their garden which is just full of an array of plants. Location was close to everything with our car. The addition of homemade jam and fresh fruit made a wonderful addition to our simple breakfasts.The cottage has everything you could possibly want and a lovely porch to sit on at the end of the day.

Cute garden cottage stay

My sister and I stayed at Fig Cottage for a weekend up in Havelock North, it was a great location with easy access to the town. The cottage was very well set up with many breakfast options. Both beds were ready for us on our arrival. We enjoyed playing some of the games and the visits from Lexi the dog, as well as the cute surprise of apricots and raspberries in the morning. The garden was a beautiful setting. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Great property walking distance (30 minutes) from Havelock North township. Property was clean, extremely comfortable, nestled in a pretty garden area.

Cosy retreat

Christiana was a fabulous host, kindly allowing us to check in early as we needed to get to a function, and leaving a light on for our late return. The breakfast was delicious and I hope to visit again in summer to see the lovely garden in full bloom.

About the host

Host profile image
Wayne and Christiana are your hosts, and we would like to warmly welcome you to Fig Cottage. Wayne is originally from Wanganui and I am from Havelock North. We both have day jobs. Wayne is an engineer and I am a teacher aide. We have two wonderful daughters who have moved away from home so we are empty nesters. Our pets, Missy the cat and Lexi a dog, are friendly and will most likely visit you during your stay. Wayne and I both have hobbies. Wayne's hobby is Model trains and he would be very happy to show you his efforts. My hobby is gardening which I hope you will enjoy while staying with us.
The main house is connected to the cottage with decking, and while your privacy is of utmost importance to us, we will welcome you and check in to see if everything is ok, if we are home.
Please feel free to come and see us or contact us at any stage during your stay.
