Akina oceanfront rentals

Loved it. Was clean, tidy, and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely cottage and location. Comfy bed and great shower. Will definitely come back.

Amazing spacious venue, with numerous facilities. Great host. Had a wonderful stay.

Amazing stay, we spent most of our time in the area off the kitchen as beautiful morning sunshine out there and nice area to chill away from the bedrooms. Very comfortable house and great hosts and great communication from them.

This property offers so much more than you expect and the host is awesome to communicate with. We stayed with two other lots of family, all arriving at different times. Each one, when arrived was in love with the place instantly. Part of me doesn't want to write such a good review and keep this secret to myself haha!! Thank you Sara for sharing your exceptional spot. We'll be back.

My husband and another couple stayed here while we were in town to go to the six60 concert. The photos actually don't do this place justice. Its was so clean and beautifully decorated. The beds had such luxurious linen and the towels were lovely and fluffy. What made this place so special though, is all the little provisions that krissie had left for us. The fresh uncut loaf of bread was so tasty, The bottle of wine and beers in the fridge for us as well as honey, jam, oatmilk and chutney that im sure she makes herself. The icing on the cake was the tiramisu cheesecake in the freezer! There was more but im not going to list them all here. It was a very relaxing and peaceful location and just wonderful to stay at. I will definately be back to stay when i next want to be in hastings/ havelock north. 😍

Stayed 3 nights, with friends from overseas, for a concert at Black Barn. House was beautifully renovated and had everything needed for a wonderful stay. The host Rebekah was lovely to deal with. Great location on the main road between Havelock North and Hastings, 5 minutes walk into lovely Havelock township and 30 minutes from Napier. Great base for exploring this region with its close proximity to the towns, vineyards and Te Mata Peak for a birds eye view of the area. Highly recommend.

Great little cottage to stay in. Very relaxing drinking our wine under the grape vine. Will be back. Mattew and Di are excellent host and a pleasure to meet.
