The most amazing week
This property is wonderful if you want to relax and enjoy the surroundings of the berry farm. The owners Matthew, and Di can’t do enough for you, including cleaning the grill every time you use it and providing big bowls of apples and fresh fruit. I would recommend this to anybody who wants peace and quiet for the convenience of being in the Hawkes Bay area.

The Berry Farm Retreat
My Mother and I stayed at this lovely little spot. It lives up to it's name and is a tranquil spot to unwind and relax but still close enough to Hastings to stock up on supplies and visit tourist spots. The Hosts Di and Matthew were wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. Their local knowledge meant we were able to sample all the local delights on our trip. Among our highlights were the melt in your mouth raspberries, the visits from all the birdlife and Snowy the Goat. We would definitely recommend and also return again in the Future.

Best accommodation ever!!
Di and Matthew were so welcoming and kind- making sure we had everything we needed and going above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic! The location was perfect to get to Hastings or Havelock North and the bach itself was gorgeous. We loved being in the quiet country with the ducks and goat. And the jam was absolutely delicious! Thank you for having us!!
