Rural Retreat in Havelock North

This fully self contained home is on the rural outskirts of Havelock North. Surrounded by orchards, this home has all the benefits of being in the country but is only 3 minutes to the centre of Havelock North Village, 10 minutes to Hastings and 20 minutes to Napier. A great central location.

Hawkes Bay and Havelock North offers many great leisure time activities ranging from fabulous local wineries, cafes, restaurants, beaches, cycling and walking opportunities to name just a few.

A great place for a family or couples to use a base to explore the Bay, or to stay put and just enjoy the country surrounds!

Peaceful, spacious and well-equipped

This is a clean, spacious, well-equipped property in a peaceful rural location but still close to everything. It was ideal for the purposes of our family group, which spanned three generations. Our only problem was with the ancient barbecue, which was out of gas and hadn’t been cleaned by the previous user. That aside, we were very happy with the property.
