Whangaehu Beach Escape - a place to make memories

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviews1 month ago

one of my all time favourite holiday stays in the north island, loved sharing it with friends this time. Simple in the best possible old school kiwi bach sense, but with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Wonderfully remote to get away from it all, beautiful scenery and fantastic outdoor space to relax in any weather.

We had the absolute best time down in the Hawkes Bay staying at Diane’s place, it was one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed, everything was so spotless, clean and beautifully set out, the outdoor seating areas overlooking the views of the Hawkes Bay were absolutely beautiful, especially down by the pool, the property is located so close to some of the most gorgeous wineries, and the beautiful town that is Havelock North, Diane was a pleasure to talk to and would always respond so quickly to any queries and messages, I would recommend her and her home time and time again, we would love to come back here again!!!
