House vacation rentals in Central Hawke's Bay District

Our stay at this property was absolutely wonderful! It’s truly a fantastic place to visit and spend quality time with family and friends. The home exceeded our expectations in so many ways, and it’s definitely worth every dollar spent. The comfort, ambiance, and amenities made our experience unforgettable. I would confidently rate it 5/5 stars! That said, I’d like to offer a few gentle suggestions to make this amazing property even better: • The toilet door didn’t lock properly from the inside, which led to a few funny moments and some creative singing from whoever was inside! Fixing this would enhance privacy. • Adding floor mats in the bathroom would be helpful to keep the area dry after showers. • Lastly, there were a few leaves in the swimming pool, likely due to the windy weather during our stay. A quick clean would have made the pool perfect. Overall, these minor points didn’t take away from our incredible experience, and we truly loved our time here. Thank you for hosting!

thanku we had a lovely stay. large house which the kids loved for playing hide and seek. the pool was popular with the kids and we could easily watch them from the house. all amenities were handy and the kitchen was well stocked. thank you very much.

The house is set on lovely grounds with ample activities for the children: tennis court, swimming pool and a table tennis table in the garage. The inside of the house is spotlessly clean and beautiful. Although a teeny tiny imperfection is the absence of a microwave oven, this does not detract from the overall charm and functionality of the house. I highly recommend this place and would stay here again.

The house was amazing. Peaceful place set off the road a good ways. It was great having a pool for the kids to swim in. I highly recommend renting this place.

Needed a place to stay for a few days with another staff member. Place was a little big for two of us but only 12km from our worksite. Kim still had a few things to finish before being 100% ready for Airbnb. However she was open an honest about everything and it did not effect us at all. Very comfortable beds and the kitchen was equipped well. We were provided with fresh eggs and a few simple staples in the pantry, kitchen bench, & fridge. Would be a great place to meet friends for a catch up.

What a truly memorable stay! Belinda’s home is exceptional and provided for our family a fabulous place to connect and unwind. Thank you so much ☺️

A great holiday home in a beautiful location. Loads of room inside and out with wonderful views. We had everything we needed for a relaxing few days.

Great place to stay at. Stayed 2 nights in Waipukarau for a wedding. Big living area and great space.

Lovely spot, beautiful area but quick into Havelock North and Hastings. Cottage is lovely, very stylish and with everything you need. Lots of little extras made it a great stay for us for a weekend break away!

What a great week we had at Nicky’s! The architectural home was really cool, and a perfect setup for our family. The real gem is the property - there is so much to do and explore! There’s a whole separate area down a small hill from the house that is a magical step into the lovely surroundings; so much local flora and fauna to discover! Great house with kids as there was no lack of screen-free entertainment. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Perfect cottage in a beautiful very private setting. Would thoroughly recommend and have already decided to book again when we head East again.

Our stay at Endsleigh Cottage was wonderful; it had everything we needed and was situated on gorgeous grounds with a genuine old world charm.

There aren’t words to describe this jaw-dropping property. May be my all-time favorite AirBnb experience! It’s breathtaking in its privacy, scenery and layout and has all the amenities one would need to feel right at home! It accommodated our 8-person property easily. We will absolutely come back for another stay!

Great view, right on the beach, and good for family with kids. We enjoyed our stay.

We went there with my families for the easter holidays (4 nights) . The place was very homely. The master bedroom had entrance way to another room so could be good for family with children sleeping together. The outdoor and fireplace was great to sit around. The kitchen and sitting room area was great. The pool is heated but if the weather is cool the pool is cold, not as heated as we would have wanted but was still enjoyable for our family. If you are planning a visit to Havelock North or nearby it is a lovely house for hire .

Great little beachside community, well appointed house, attentive hosts.

We had the absolute best time down in the Hawkes Bay staying at Diane’s place, it was one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed, everything was so spotless, clean and beautifully set out, the outdoor seating areas overlooking the views of the Hawkes Bay were absolutely beautiful, especially down by the pool, the property is located so close to some of the most gorgeous wineries, and the beautiful town that is Havelock North, Diane was a pleasure to talk to and would always respond so quickly to any queries and messages, I would recommend her and her home time and time again, we would love to come back here again!!!
