The property is very comfortable, extremely well equipped and in a beautiful, quiet location. The host gave us some great recommendations for local wineries and some sight seeing. At night it was so dark we could see the Milky Way and during the day the property was surrounded by birds, the quails and their babies were a delight. I would highly recommend the property.

Loved our stay. Tony greeted us when we arrived and gave us info about the property and the local area. There was also freshly baked bread, eggs, milk, cereal, etc. The house was clean and private, equipped with everything we needed. Located in a peaceful area with friendly horses and fruit trees.

Very comfortable, well appointed property. Tony was delightful and very informative, ensuring we had everything we needed for our stay, including freshly baked bread on arrival. Although 30 mins from Napier it was an easy journey when we needed to make it. Local vinyards were exceptional, thanks to Tony for guiding us. We had a great stay .

We enjoyed a very pleasant and relaxing 3 nights at Verano. Tony and Jackie were welcoming to their peaceful and well equipped cottage, located so close to the Bridge Pa Wine Triangle. Recommended!

From the warm welcome from Tony the host, to the cleanliness and comfort of the refurbished cottage, and the private rural setting complete with miniature North American ponies birds and rabbits in the surrounding paddocks , this was a lovely base for our holiday. Highly recommended for couples and families and within an easy drive to all the attractions of the region including nearby wineries.

From the moment we walked in the door to the smell of fresh baked bread we knew we had picked the right place. Super comfy beds in every room. Recliner chairs in the lounge, great wifi and a TV with Netflix ensured we had all the comfort we needed. Beautiful location in the country rabbits to spot and ponies to feed. Just perfect. Would go back tomorrow if we could.

We love staying at Verano. It is such a lovely property and the owners are so welcoming. The location is amazing and so good if you like wine and playing golf. We can't wait to go back again some time soon!

A top quality fully furnished large batch, with top hosts, in the middle of horse paddocks, plum trees and many rabbits. A welcome countryside retreat after many months in lockdown in Auckland. We’ll be back.

The property was generously sized, had good facilities (though a single bathroom may be insufficient for larger groups, but the loo is seperate, so that helps), and was less than 10 mins to all necessary amenities.
The hosts were very friendly and interesting without being intrusive.
The property had good water, decent beds and sufficient living space that no one felt cramped, and the deck is a great place to sit on a hot day.
I’d recommend this property, and would be happy to stay there in my next trip to the area.

On our arrival to the property we were greeted by our host's ponies - much to the delight of my wife.
We found the home to be well equipped (including high speed internet and digital TV), modern/clean and were happily surprised to find freshly made homemade bread in the bread machine. The parent's in-law raved about the bread at breakfast the next morning.
Located within easy striking distance to Napier, Hastings and Havelock North, the home is set on a lifestly block which helped us feel more connected to the agricultural roots of the Hawkes Bay.
Our host Tony was a great communicator, friendly and accommodating.
We look forward to staying here again in the future.

This property is spot on: great communication with lovely owners, fair pricing (per room), and great location if you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful break close to town and vineyeards. The property was clean, tidy, modern and luxurious (great mattresses and sofas) and even better than what it looks like on the pictures. What a treat to be greeted by the smell of fresh bread waiting in the Breadmaker for us. Our son enjoyed the Apple TV and he loved the proximity to vineyards as well as Havelock North and Napier. Thank you for letting us stay there - we will definitely come back.
