About this property

Serene escape just 5 minutes from Havelock North

Our large and spacious guesthouse is set amongst an olive grove on 4.5 acres of beautifully landscaped property. Only a 5 minute drive from the center of Havelock, or 15 minutes to Hastings, our location is ideally close and convenient, but feels far away once on property. We invite you to enjoy a nature walk where you might see ducks, native birds, rabbits, our resident hedgehog named Eric, our five sheep, or our two chihuahuas that might come say hi with a big bark! Please close all gates that you find closed to ensure the safety of our sheep.

We look forward to hosting you!

THE SPACE
Our guesthouse is situated on top of a hill that enjoys epic views out toward the mountain ranges. A very comfortable queen bed is outfitted with linens from Wallace Cotton and the kitchen is full of everything you need to cook yourself entire meals at home.

The bathroom has a shower, toilet and sink all in the same space. We provide luxury towels.

Outside we have an outdoor bathtub that is completely private and very romantic overlooking the beautiful views and outfitted with warm water. We provide 2 dressing gowns/robes for our guests and 2 beach towels for use at the bath.

We provide coffee, tea, breakfast cereals, spices and all the amenities you would find in your own kitchen at home for your convenience.

GUEST ACCESS
Guest parking is located right outside your guest house with a sign designating your spot as the "Olive Tree Lodge Parking". You walk up a paver path, past the outdoor bath to enter the unit, providing you with a private entrance to your space through the front sliding glass doors.

First class people presenting a beautiful space
This space was perfect for me as I transitioned into the Hawkes Bay for work. Serene by name and serene by nature. If you enjoy tranquility, privacy, birdsong and nature by all means give this space some thought. Thanks to Danielle, Tom and Yodi :)

Great spot and very peaceful in what appears to be upmarket neighbourhood of the Coromandel . Perhaps download the Virbo app to make communication with the host would be a good idea before arrival .

About the host

Hosted by Danielle

Host profile image
Yoga/aerial teacher and professional photographer, I love life and everything in it, but mostly travel! Born in Los Angeles, moved to New Zealand for my Kiwi boyfriend and never looked back! Have traveled to 52 countries and am always looking forward to the next adventure. Can't wait to meet you!

Why they chose this property

Moving to New Zealand I wanted a quintessential Kiwi property with land and views and and gorgeous garden. I got all that and more. I can't wait to share this special place with you!

What makes this property unique

Our property feels like you are out in the middle of the countryside - but you are just 5 minutes out of town. It is very convenient and a lovely location for anything in Hawke's Bay. The outdoor bath seems to be everyone's highlight who stays here :)
