You will stay in either the Moana Cottage or the Awa Cottage. The Moana cottage has a king-size bed, while the Awa Cottage has a king-size bed or two single beds, depending on your needs. There is also the option of a roll-away slat bed to accommodate a third person if desired. Enjoy a bathroom, kitchen and living room. Your cottage features lush interior furnishings, including a bath with outdoor viewing and a front and back deck to enjoy the morning and evening sun. Take in the stunning views of the surrounding hills and coastline. WiFi is available.
The Hawke's Bay "Landscapes Trail" is right outside your door, where you may take a nice morning walk through the hamlet to the coast or a journey through picturesque farmland towards the Cape and Hygee at Clifton Bay Café. Another alternative is to rent bikes (e-bikes are also available) and explore the local community, which includes three known vineyards within 2.5 kilometres.
