We couldn't recommend UNDER THE ELMS enough. The day we arrived was Hawkes Bays coldest day of the Winter so far. The heat pumps were on - the house was warm and welcoming. The gorgeous bathroom tiles were warm! Wine in the fridge, coffee in the pantry, beautiful decor....a real TREAT.
We loved staying here. There was everything we need but is often missing at baches. Well equipped kitchen, decent sized rubbish bin, comfy places to sit, lots of pillows and towels … and more. Really appreciated the thought that has gone into this home.
Could have easily stayed longer! Really lovely property, perfect for a relaxing escape.Highlights for us included the fully fenced massive yard where our dog, Riley, could enjoy a good run and sniff. The hosts were great, friendly, polite and attentive to Rileys needs as well as ours.Property is well kitted out, with all needs met and often exceeded.
Booked this trip to get away for a weekend, this house was perfecting for relaxing in, so cozy and warm and the view is unreal to look out at! Walking distance from town so made it easy to get food. Couldn’t be more happy staying here!
We had a warm welcome from Gwen and look around the accommodation. Beautiful breakfast, decor and cosy to relax in. Checked in on us and closed our curtains in evening which was a lovely surprise to come back to after dark! Highly recommended!!!!
