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.
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.
We loved our 3 nights in the cutest cottage So peaceful and relaxing looking up at the beautiful green hills while lying in bed or having breakfast on the front porch in the sunThe little fire makes the cottage super cosy and the outdoor bath is just magicBeing up the Tuki Tuki valley is like nectar for the soul
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house in Haumoana. A peaceful rural setting with alpacas grazing nearby. It was the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience—just 5 minutes to the beach and about 15 minutes to the local towns. The cabin itself was spotless, very well-maintained, and had everything we needed. Highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing getaway in the bay. without being too far from town.
