Farmstay vacation rentals in Central Hawke's Bay District

This ia a unique place with the conversion of a shearer's quarters. The external access to each room was authentic to its past. The location was private in being on a farm up in the hills but still close enough to the coast or towns if desired. Communication was great and Hannah was flexible to our change of numbers and arrival date. Margot greeted us warmly and then left us to ourselves - perfect.

An excellent Airbnb for those who like peace and quiet. The accommodation is very comfortable with an attractive rural charm, spacious and clean.Excellent communication with Raewynne. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay with our dog. Very peaceful with lots of outdoor seating options. Well equipped kitchen. A real treat to have two ensuites. It’s nice to see that you’ve thought about accessibility needs.

This venue was exactly what we were after. It is rustic, and cozy, and it was what we were expecting. It is dog friendly, which was great because we took our German shepherd. The bathroom is spacious and well set up. We kept our luggage there as well. The kitchenette had everything we needed: jug, microwave, electric frying pan, and outside at the wine bar a weber BBQ and an air fryer. Pete was fantastic and stocked the fridge with bacon, eggs, bread and butter, and a bottle of wine. It was incredibly thoughtful and generous of him, and we were delighted to make bacon and egg butties one cold morning! Pete also left a bag of dog treats which our girl would've devoured except she has a tightly controlled diet due to allergies. Again though, so incredibly thoughtful! Pete had also set up the brazier ready for a fire, with plenty of wood. We had two lovely evenings outside by the fire! Pete is a kind and thoughtful host, and so helpful! Would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay.Ian and Jo were very accommodating for our family.

Nerida was an amazing host! She was accommodating despite us requesting a slightly later check-in time. She was really responsive and offered us in-depth directions to reach her home. She even offered us a cup of coffee when we arrived and showed us around her farm the next morning. Charming home, and we felt very at home. Thanks, Nerida!

Meet the Indiana Jones of Ashley Clinton! Such a lovely weekend spent over Easter. Greeted by wonderful hosts and their pet dog Xena. Welcomed with hot cross buns and Easter eggs. Freshly baked loafs in the morning were a delight. Museum and the korero by Lex was an amazing experience, and a highlight to the stay. It’s truly more than what one can bargain for. We were really impressed with their collection of taxidermy and weaponry over different centuries. I’m sure if we had more time with the hosts, we would be thrilled to just sit down next to a fire and listen to all their adventures.

Absolutely stunning cottage. We had the best time and Jo was a lovely host.

Great spot and will be back

Highly recommend! I had a wonderful stay for a week. Colin and Sandra are perfect hosts. Very peaceful setting and the views from the property are beautiful. I look forward to staying again.

A wonderful house that was perfect for our 2 families staying in the area for the Hawkes Bay cricket tournament; we could not have found a better place. Catherine was the perfect host - responsive when we needed her, really helpful with requests, and just generally lovely to deal with. We didn't want to leave and we would love to come back.
