Awesome place awesome owner

Good property, comfortable and welcoming.

A lovely modern home, well presented and cared for. Great living space and spacial bedrooms. Great outdoor areas for relaxation. It was a little further from town than I expected about an hours walk to the centre of town. I guess it depends on what your definition of close to town is.

Our stay there was great!! Attended a wedding in the Hawkes Bay, and had families and friends from overseas that came to visit us and was overwhelmed about the place. We even had them stay for dinner with the good bbq and outdoor seating area provided for large numbers. The outdoor space is where we hung out most of the time where you had good shade and a slight breeze which was just right in the middle of summer. The place had everything we needed and do recommend it for big families or just friends gathering together for a trip away.

Amazing home to use during your time in the Hawkes Bay Area. The home is well appointed, comfortable and quiet. I would highly recommend staying here and would stay again.

We loved our stay. It was perfect for a family. Plenty of space for all. A great kitchen and facilities for meals and evenings. The location was central, allowing easy navigation around the venues we needed to be at throughout the Bay. We found the beds a bit hard for our liking but that’s just a personal choice. Thank you for a great few days at your delightful property.

Central location with a park and playground 2 minutes walk away. Nice, modern house in a quiet spot.

The property is fine, pretty much as shown in the photos. Unfortunately when we arrived the place was pretty dirty, if it had been cleaned in was a very poor job. The floors were dirty with fish scales scattered around. The kitchen draws were grubby with food on many utensils. There were only small bath towels available, no hand towels or face towels. The bathrooms were generally clean but the mirrors were smeared and not cleaned properly. Some of the towels place in the bedrooms along with the tea towels were dirty so we washed and dried them so they could be used. This was particularly disappointing. There is a smart TV but no local contact at all, it couldn't be tuned. Fortunately I did take Google Chrome so we had access, it is pretty dusty back there though so another cleanliness issue. Whilst the house is was adequate for our purposes there is a lot of the owners personal gear around that maybe should have been removed including baby gear in the dining and bedroom. I did contact the owner and sent some photos. There is also an extensive list of what should be done to clean prior to departure which did raise a few eyebrows as a) we were charged a cleaning fee and b) as mentioned the place wasn't particularly clean when we arrived. Without going overboard the house is considerably cleaner than when we arrived. Being charged a cleaning fee isn't appropriate if it isn't being done. If the house was cleaned properly and presented better if would be a great place to stay, hopefully ours was a one off.

We (three women) had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at this lovely property. It has a generous open-plan living area with a kitchen that has a walk-in butler’s pantry that is stocked with all manner of things. Bedrooms are a good size with very comfortable beds. Unfortunately we didn’t have the weather for it but there is a great outdoor area to sit and soak up the sun. Napier’s fabulous city centre is only a few minutes’ drive away and I would say you couldn’t go wrong using Te Awa as your base of operations!

Great
