Kia Noho

The property was very clean and tidy with a beautiful view to the surrounding trees. We woke up to bird song each morning and had everything we needed. Full equipped kitchen too. Beautiful spot to relax and very close to Havelock North township and nearby wineries. We loved it!

Nothing, it was excellent.

Beautiful location Slightly out of town

Everything, nice and quite

Stunning property in a beautiful location

Nothing really impressive. Only suggestion maybe curtains in the lounge - but the property is really private.

Great location

There was nothing to dislike

We enjoyed sitting on the bean bags on the back deck having a wine and watching the birds

Nothing to report

Peace and quiet. Actually able to hear the bird life!! Well equipped kitchen. Comfy settee and bed. Good power shower. Easy drive to surrounding Hawkes Bay.

TheTV was difficult to get to work and despite providing 3 phone numbers the owners were unable to be contacted.

Great private serene place to stay. Two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, comfortable couches, roomy bathrooms, green outlook. Good suggestions on where to eat and drink. Need a car to drive around but that worked for us. Have just reccomeneded to friend who have just booked.

Really set up nicely for two couples. Great amenities for a comfortable stay. Super quite and private setting.

Quiet, private, rural location, but within easy reach of Havelock town centre. Individual air conditioning in each bedroom and lounge. Instructions to locate the property were excellent - we found it first time. Parking space is excellent, with turnaround space / sufficient room for 2 vehicles

Perhaps time for an end of season deep clean.

Beautiful quiet location in a spacious residential area above the town. High quality fixtures and fittings throughout. A great host for whom nothing was too much trouble.

Nothing

Приятное место. Хороший хозяин. В доме есть все. Чисто, красиво, уютно. Места много, по саду бегают кролики)) Приветственная бутылка вина была от хозяев. Уединенное зеленое ухоженное место. Цена = качество.

Great location and instructions for arrival. We arrived in the dark and could follow the signage easily.

Very quiet, comfortable beds, fantastic host

No drier or dishwasher

The table and the umbrella stand were an eye sore and downgrade our stay !

Nice property, clean tidy warm and a great location

Beautiful property in a private and secluded spot just 5 minutes drive from Havelock North Village. Welcoming and friendly hosts, great communication and lovely little extra touches like a bottle of wine in the fridge and breakfast groceries. Comfortable beds and spotlessly clean throughout. Peaceful garden with a family of visiting bunnies passing through each day. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family.

Nothing I can think of

We received instructions for our arrival which were very descriptive and puncual. The process was seamless and very discrete too. The photos of the property depict very well the conditions of the house and the bathrooms were pristine. They also gave us complimentary milk, coffe and even cereal!

A couple of details could work well as small extras for the stay: extra pillows and small, multy-layered bed-side tables.

Such a beautiful space to stay. A home away from home. So peaceful but very close to town if you needed to pop out to get anything. Enjoyed a beautiful day at Waimarama Beach. Only a 30 min drive then a show in Hastings Sunday Night. Everything was so close. Great communication with host. Will definitely recommend.

Needed some more blankets since we didn't want to sleep with the heat pump on.

Very comfortable accommodation in a great location . All the facilities you need for a relaxing stay.

Beautiful location. Good facilities

Access a little daunting when wet

location, such a lovely enjoyable spot home away from home it was great

The property was perfect! It was clean, very comfortable and private, yet close to town. Loved the cottage set up. Host was awesome to communicate with. I would stay again!

This property was amazing. We were meeting up with friends from Auckland who we had not seen for 17 years. The privacy of this special retreat enabled us to have a great catchup in lovely surroundings. Extremely well equipped with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Great welcoming items, host was great, well looked after, bottle of local HB wine, Vogel bread local coffee, and cereals beautiful quiet spot.

Such a beautiful and clean property situated in a little slice Havelock North paradise. Johno was super helpful and friendly - couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Lovely layout, lovely touches like some bread and milk, lovely local coffee and wine. Thank you.

Really beautiful & peaceful location, super close to town. The house was really comfortable and clean. We’d definitely stay again.

The location was quiet, private, and only a 3–4 minute drive to Havelock North. The house is modern, warm (especially on a sunny day) and also had great heater for cooler nights etc.

Lovely and quiet property. Comfortable beds, separate rooms with private bathrooms.

Loved it, at first I thought we were too far out from wineries but it wasn’t we had our own car and for wineries it was a quick cheap uber! The space was perfect, loved the deck with the bunnies that visited! We had dinner at the house both nights as it was lovely to chill out there.

Nothing

Lovely quiet location. Very comfortable

Everything, Lovely location. Really enjoyed the garden . There were rabbits on the lawn. Easy access. Lovely amount of light. The host had left us some welcome food of bread, milk, coffee, tea and a bottle of wine. Was a very nice surprise and really appreciated. Well equipped.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. We were very comfortable.

The property was excellent, exactly how it looked in the pictures and as described. We would book again

Such a beautiful house! Felt so secluded but so close to town. The owners were amazing

Plenty of breakfast supplies. Muesli, milk , Vogel's bread, and array of condiments. Lovely wine as well. Very well set up bedrooms with lovely bathrooms and walk in wardrobe area. Worked very well for two couples. Johno was an excellent host, and went out of his way to make us comfortable. Kia Noho is set amongst beautiful trees and such a peaceful place to stay. Loved relaxing on the deck watching the wild rabbit and the beautiful birds. short drive to the lovely Havelock North and all it has to offer.

Light , bright, clean and well equipped . Air conditioning in all rooms -super important as we had 32 degree plus days for 3 of the 4 days of our stay and cottage gets full north sun all day . Lovely private deck / garden. Washing machine and dryer,ironing board all good for our 4 day break in otherwise busy NZ travel schedule . Cooking facilities & cooking ware good ( microwave and stove top)

Super hot and sunny when we were there , so lack of much shade on deck or blinds/ curtains to keep out heat in sitting room was a shame . Spacious & well equipped for two people ( can sleep 4)- 3 dining chairs, 3 wine glasses

Sunny, cosy and clean - loved it! Will be going back again.

Nothing

Beautiful house in a stunning private location. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Havelock North if you have a car as it's a few minutes out of town.

Location in bush setting.

All was good

Excellent property short drive away from Havelock village and the vineyards. Beautiful setting, the house is very tastefully and plentifully equipped to include everything one might need for a short stay. Johno was very thorough in sharing directions and check in instructions and very responsive to any queries. We hated leaving this place- felt like a home away from home. Thanks Johno.

Nothing

Beautiful location and apartment had everything we needed. Enjoyed our stay and will be back again!

Thanks for the coffee beans and assorted teas. Loved the breakfast bar with a view

Loved the location, the position and the tranquility. Very comfortable and perfect base to explore the local area from

Can’t really offer any negatives

Quiet and peaceful. Great location and lovely accomodation.

Nothing

Has everything we need for a relaxing getaway.

Everything you need!

Beautiful location, accommodation was amazing and little extras were delightful.

Just the pillows, Goldilocks moment and should’ve just taken my own. But this is really minor. We had an experiential time.

Great cottage, nicely appointed, excellent location.

Nothing we didn't like. This is a lovely place to stay.

We did not want to leave! Kia noho is gorgeous, set in the most beautiful location with hosts that are super easy to deal with. We loved it all, from the layout, the indoor/outdoor flow, the warmth and comfort, the beautiful serene sounds of nature, the bunnies in the yard every morning, the most comfy beds and the generous size showers with amazing pressure! The hosts have literally thought of everything you could need for a homely feeling stay. We will be booking here again in future for sure!

Great house layout, very comfortable - perfect for 2 couples. Peaceful location, and just a short drive to Havelock North and the spectacular Te Mata.

Nothing - all was great!

The location was beautiful and so relaxing and quiet. The cottage was well set out with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms and a gorgeous sundeck. Would highly recommend.

Serenity of location. Enjoyed hearing the birds and watching the wildlife.

The layout of the cottage was perfect for two couples and the semi rural aspect was very peaceful

We liked the place as we felt we were in the country but so close to town. Tidy and comfortable place that had everything. Also all the ranch sliders in main room + bedrooms could open up onto the deck. Also 2 ensuite's Would definitely stay again

What such a lovely little property. Just out of town and you feel like you’re in the countryside. Toe would have the birds. The local wild life. Was movie tonne there

Going back home

Ideal set up for two people travelling together. Each bedroom had an ensuite. Peaceful but handy location.

Nothing

Really private , lovely little yard

Location was quiet with plenty of privacy, well equipped kitchen

Johno's home was beautifully appointed, so comfortable - bedrooms, living rooms etc., lots of room for luggage storage, a washer and drying rack, well supplied for cooking, close to activities, restaurants etc but was so quiet and private. We had a huge deck and a private back yard. It felt like home each time we returned from our day

I can't think of a thing.

Breakfast provisions and a bottle of wine were a nice touch on arrival. Short drive to Havelock North Shopping Centre which had a great Supermarket, Restaurants and shops. Lovely quiet location to sit back and relax.

Nothing

Awesome location. Jono a great host

Tv system antiquared

The cottage is in an idyllic location, close enough to the village while feeling very secluded and quiet in nature. It is very modern, comfortable and clean, and can accommodate 4 people easily with plenty of space. The host was super lovely, helpful and available.

Nothing.

Comfortable, clean, private, with special touches such as breakfast supplies and a lovely bottle of wine on arrival.

Milk, bread and wine was a nice touch

Beautiful house in a peaceful and quiet setting. Design of the house is perfect with 2 ensuite bedrooms on opposite ends of the central living space. Huge terrace that is very private and gets sunshine all day. Everything needed is in the house and it was extremely well stocked with breakfast items. JohnO was very welcoming. We had a great time here, thanks

A couple of sun loungers would be a nice addition 😁

Brilliant location in an idyllic rural and bush setting. Quiet and comfortable with all the amenities. Even came with a couple of relatively tame fluffy bunnies. Very helpful owner.

Should have booked a longer stay … but next time we will

very relaxing with a beautiful location . the cottage is well designed with modern facilities

Location is ideal, sunny and private. Welcome hamper of breakfast supplies was a lovely surprise

It was very lovely and comfortable place to stay, however the beds were very soft. Mattresses may not suit everyone

Great Place perfect for our stay

A dryer could have been useful

Lovely, peaceful spot. Very comfortable.

There wasn't enough butter for the toast and some yoghurt would have been appreciated, otherwise fine.

Location and x2 ensuite. would stay again!

nothing

very quite and peaceful when the sun was shine that topped it off we loved the bumble bees the property was warm and cosy.

we couldn't find the wheelie bin to empty the inside rubbish bin, we thought staying 2 nights using the same towel was hard so maybe next time put extra towels in the rooms

We had a great stay - we visited as a couple with my mum so having the self-contained rooms meant we both had the privacy we needed. We really appreciated the wonderful coffee in the morning which we drank whilst watching some rabbits hop about the garden! Blissfully quiet but close enough to town for anything we needed.

We struggled to get the TV to work despite following instructions but in the end we chromecast Netflix so it was no problem!

Location, quiet and surrounded by trees

All good
