Sit back and soak in the views or get out and enjoy what the Bay has to offer.

We do not have supermarkets handy, there is a 7 minute drive to get to the local dairy. Our cottage is 45 square metres with an open plan kitchen/dining/lounge and 2 sliding doors opening out to a large deck you will have no trouble relaxing and taking in the extensive views.

The cottage is set on working farm so there can sometimes be livestock in the surrounding paddocks and from time to time there may be noise during the day from farm vehicles. We are in a high wind zone so on some days you may just want to enjoy the view from inside the cottage with the aircon on. A 7 minute drive up the road takes you to the Hawkes Bay cycle and walking trail with access to a safe river for swimming. Just over the river you will find The Puketapu Pub, Restaurant & Cafe which serves delicious meals. The cottage has a perfect balance, you get a country setting but then it’s only a 12 minute drive to Taradale or a 15 minute drive to Stortford Lodge.
