Dunray Cottage - Welcome to Havelock North

Modern, beautiful, comfortable. Sparkling clean. I wish I had more time to really enjoy this place as it was very nice. We had a toddler with us and he loved looking at the sheep in the paddock.

Great place - loved it 😊

All great

Great family cottage with three specious bedrooms.

The property is immaculate and finished to a high spec. It is a short drive to Havelock North (5mins), however because it is located on a good size private section complete with a nice outdoor area, you get the feeling you are out in the country and away from the middle of town. Would highly recommend for families or groups that would like a base to explore the Hawkes Bay.

I have mobility issues and there are two accessibility issues. 1. The front deck is too high for an elderly person and needs both a step up to it and a hand rail - that’s probably also true of the back deck. 2. It would be great to have a hand rail in the ensuite shower I think Dunray Cottage should make these changes and advertise itself as an accessible property. If the changes are not made it should alert potential guests to the need to be able to deal with the high step-up required for the decks.

Clean, modern, spacious

Perfect

What a gem! Loved the location, the layout was great, very modern and clean and had everything we needed and more. Having a spa pool was great, the sheep were a real hit with the kids. Great outlook and a really lovely place. Will stay again.

Nothing! Loved it all.

Clean and breezy space. All the basics in the kitchen + extras like a small bottle of milk and salt & pepper. Spa was a bonus. TV in lounge and one in each bedroom was great to keep granny, parents and teens all happy ♥.

Aircon was off when we arrived, the cottage was very hot inside. Took about 20minutes to get to a cooler temp. No aircon in the bedrooms, had to leave the doors open with lounge aircon on to keep cool at night - could not keep windows open, traffic was too noisy.

Exceeded all expectation, we absolutely loved it.

Only thing was the master bed is very firm.

Property was modern, clean and had everything we needed.

Everything was perfect and the spa pool was a great addition .

A little road noise but got use to it quickly

A fantastic little home away from home. A very comfy bed and clean. Great amenities.

As its on a very busy road there is lots of road noise.

I loved there communication! They had a warm welcome and were easy to approach. I had to add an extra person to our stay. They messaged back that they were happy with me having an extra person with no extra charge to my stay. For our time spent at this amazing cosy cottage we were neighbours 😊 They didn't hound or bother us not once but we were left with a friendly neighbourly message with there contact details if we should need anything. I loved everything from the inside of there home all the way to the sheep in the backyard hahaha you thought of everything!! Nice warm homely touch away from home. Top marks with the cleanliness 100% ✓ My father who was apart of this trip is a chef an his exception level of what he calls "clean" is very high and he was very impressed. I would like to thank you both very much for being the greatest to deal with. Keep doing exactly what you both are doing!! Your home is beautiful. From my family to urs.. We are greatful to have enjoyed and experienced "Dunray Cottage"🙏🏆🥇

The bed in the master bedroom was a little hard for my back. Every one is different in there preference.

Location, Outlook, pet sheep, bed a++++ comfort. Kitchen, living and outdoor area amazing, really loved the smart tvs in each bedroom.

On the single bed, the sheet had some food marks and crumbs when we turned down the bed on first night. Wooden spoon in kitchen and bedside lamps would be really good.

Place is amazing, clean modern and had everything we needed for our stay. Location was good too, close to everything. We used the kitchen and washer/dryer for our clothes. Hot tub was perfect!

Washer/dryer combo was a first for us and had a bit of trouble figuring out how to use it. Definitely has nothing to do with the property or the hosts.

Very comfortable & had everything that was required. Great outdoor area.

Beautiful place. Very comfortable. Great location

Spacious 3 bedroom 2 bathroom property with good parking

Both Queen Beds were very hard. They would benefit from a foam squab on top.

Clean, functional house with excellent facilities

A home away from home. Lovely, modern and had everything our young family needed for a special trip to the Bay. The home was cleaned to the highest standard - absolutely spotless. Great location and beautiful setting. We all loved our stay!

We found quite abit of debris in the spa, so would've liked for that to be a little cleaner.

House is amazing. Rooms and bathroom are perfect. Kitchen is great. And the spa is amazing.

The bedrooms were very comfortable. Great kitchen. Loved the spa and room for the kids to run around outside. They loved greeting the sheep each morning!

Nothing. It was perfect.

Jacuzzi is amazing

Would have appreciated a BBQ to cook on as there was a shortage of a covered roasting dish to cook in the oven with. There were no pot mits for lifting hot items from the oven.

Near new property, and kept in 100% condition. Very neat and clean with all the gear we needed for a very cosy night. Rural, but just a few minutes from town. Good contact from owners, and they I am sure, are very proud of the facility they operate. We will be back.

Nil. Very very comfortable.

Property was clean, quiet and away from all the city noise. Location was great for my family’s needs.

Nothing not to like

Fantastic set up for a family holiday

Only negative is there’s a bit of road noise because it’s right on a main road. But we got used to that pretty quickly

Location was cool and very spacious

Didn't feel like we had any privacy as owers could see right into the cottage from their own house.

The place feels very luxurious, is peaceful and close to many wineries.

A bit expensive if only a couple stayed, but definitely worth it if you travel with 4 others.

AMAZING STAY!! Amazing location and worth it for what you paid we loved it. The spa was a bonus despite the weather it topped it off!!!! Loved it!! Would book this space again in a heartbeat!!

Nothing couldnt fault it

Excellent communication by Dean, thanks for allowing us to charge EV. A very comfortable modern home with all linen provided and great to have use of spa.

It was a busy road and quite a lot of noise to what we're used to, it's probably quieter during the weekend though. Only really an issue waking us up. A few more pantry items and board games/books/magazines would've been nice but that's only a suggestion.

Absolutely lived our stay! The house was immaculate with brand new appliances and nice furniture, super clean and comfortable. Even little things like heated floors in the bathroom added a nice touch, not to mention the luxury of an outdoor spa! The kids loved TV's in each room with Netflix provided, and even a few friendly sheep in the backyard. A pefect home away from home! Highly recommend!

Property is fully equipped from the kitchen to washer/ dryer. Whole property was very well thought out & finished are very nice, kitchen could be lived in! Love the addition of the spa, not the most private could use a couple trees for privacy.

Spa could use more privacy & the road was slightly loud. Beds were very hard maybe needs a pillow top.

Awesome comfortable clean cottage. Great facilities and location. Had everything we needed. Hosts were lovely and left the lights on for us as we arrived late. Excellent value for money and great communication. Would definitely stay here again!

Nothing.. loved it!!!

Absolutely nothing we didn't like. The house was absolutely perfect. The hosts were just incredible.

A new house with lovely rural view. Not too far from the vineyards and Havelock North.

A wonderful property, brand new. Very spacious for our needs, attended a wedding in Havelock North. Close to town, lots of choices for restaurants/takeaways. Has a spa and used it. All bathroom essentials were provided, which was lovely.

A bit more privacy for the spa and outdoor area, but nothing major. We had a lovely stay.

The location suited us and we found the house to be beautifully appointed with everything we needed - except maybe a bbq.

We found the road noise a little distracting as we’re not used to it - plus we felt a little exposed. When the hedges grow it will be good.

Very clean , lovely rural outlook, catered great for our Family, loved the spa

Fab house, great location and the hosts are brilliant to deal with. Will stay here Everytime we come to the Hawke's Bay- can't beat it

Nice new property. Had everything we needed

All was good

Everything, the stay was absolutely beautiful, such a lovely home very clean and neat, great location not far from the shops. Hosts were great, self check in was easy. Lovely place to stay.

Second stay here. Lovely and clean, great sunny spot.

The rooster!

Very immaculate property. Easy check in, and lots of space. Lovely rural outlook.

The hot tub was a hit, especially looking at the lambs. The location was excellent and the house was warm, well decorated and had everything you needed.

There was nothing we could fault. It was amazing.

Sparkling clean accomodation. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Lovely deck facing the sun. Spa pool was amazing. Have booked another weekend!

🥳 Meinga, meinga 💯 This property exceeded our expectations. Everything was so seamless; the bookings, door codes, explanations of what was available. Loved the spa, the cleanliness of the property, the natural surroundings, home away from home feeling 🙌 Wished we could've stayed longer 🫣 ❤️ He mihi aroha mō tōu manaakitanga ❤️

Property was amazing, a nice relaxed cottage just on the outskirts of town. We had a very relaxed night and the spa pool topped off the night. Great communication from owners which made everything a breeze. Would definitely stay again when we are over that way again

An excellent venue for accommodation. The place was super clean and very well appointed. The spa pool was such a bonus. There were many extras placed around the cottage. I highly recommend this property.

Liked the location appreciated the kindness of hosts hope to return

everything looks new we loved the jacuzzi

everything was amazing

beautiful cottage, would loved to have been able to stay longer to make use of the spa etc but we were only staying one night

The house was amazing, clean, and beautifully presented. Awesome amount of kitchen crockery and utensils. Linen was great

There was nothing we did not like

Lovely modern property. Beautifully presented and very comfortable. Sincere thanks to the hosts who were extremely helpful.

Just one thing... the road noise. Not much they can do about that, but the recently planted hedge should go some way to deadening the sound.

The property is excellently located to explore the many attractions of Hawke’s Bay, and is in a nice rural location.

Nothing

We loved the farm area, set up of the house, clean and tidy. The extra little touches - cotton balls cotton buds, make up flannels, even the crushed coffee beans ready for coffee which was yummy. Lastly the beautiful spa.

it wasn’t too bad but the road outside and the cars going past but it didn’t put us off we would be back.

Modern clean and comfortable
