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 .

I've stayed in a bunch of B&B's now and this was probably my favorite so far! Great location, awesome views, well maintained, excellent directions, and so on. Thanks Danielle!

Beautiful location in the hills overlooking the countryside. The lodge has everything you need and more. Lots of little extra touches that make your stay feel that bit more luxurious. The outdoor bath tub is delightful to sit in and watch the stars at night. The only negative point was being woken up at 7.15 each morning by the very noisy electric motor on the garage door below and the loud bang of another door.

Above a Garage
The accommodation is spacious with charming country views, the outdoor bath lovely, and the water on gas. It's unfortunate that the accommodation is situated above a garage. Every morning at 8am we were woken with the electric door being raised and lowered, and the side door to the garage being banged. This happened repeatedly throughout Saturday, as they got ready for a function, making for a less than peaceful experience.

I would recommend this property, great location, clean, spacious and had everything I needed for my weekend stay. Friendly cows in the front garden , you don't see that every day...truly a rural retreat. Just a short drive to Havelock Village and all amenities.

I loved how quiet and we'll set up this was. It is a bit out of town but with a car this is no problem. Pretty cool looking out the window to a heard of curious cows.

Anniversary Getaway
A fabulous place to stay in the hills above Havelock. Beautiful views out towards Hastings, lovely to wake up to. Spacious, well decorated, extremely comfortable and kitchen well kitted out. Very comfortable bed and unit is very private. Also had a great shower. We really enjoyed our stay at Olive Tree Lodge. Host, Danielle was very quick in responding to enquiries and very helpful. We would highly recommend this accommodation, wished we could have stayed longer!

At the end of a road and above a home garage, this big room had a fantastic view for miles across the countryside with only the birds and a few cows for company. Certainly serene. We never met the owner but everything was there waiting for us. Very well equipped and very relaxed. The outside bath was brilliant and private with the best bathroom view ever. The only thing missing was a watering can so the plants could get a drink instead of it just going to waste. A minor point in this lovely place. Towns close by and a beautiful part of the country!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this little slice of paradise and would love to visit again. Very clean and tidy with everything you need and more, plus just 5 minutes drive from the town centre. The outdoor bath was a nice treat with stunning views from lights in the distance. Host communication was professional, very friendly and helpful.
