The Pavilion

Looking for peace in paradise? A romantic getaway?

The Pavilion is a very special retreat designed by acclaimed architect Pete Bossley. An extraordinary one bedroom sanctuary to complement our other holiday home offering - John's House.

Pete has managed to create a small house with a huge heart with lashings of flair. The Pavilion's massive glass windows and doors look out over manicured lawns to gardens and trees creating an expansive feel.

The super king bed is large and comfortable and the big window seat is a prime spot for chilling out (or putting little people to bed on). Linen sheets are of the finest quality. The bathroom is huge and open plan (and fully disabled compliant).

The kitchen unit with fridge, dishwasher, two gas rings, toaster and convection microwave means you can eat in. But most of our guests are eager to take advantage of proximity to the many restaurants, cafes and bars so close to hand in The Village aka Havelock North.

Havelock North - The Village - is a ten minute stroll/3 minute bike ride along the Karamu Stream path bounding our property. Alternatively less than 3 kms by car. Here you can enjoy boutique shopping, great coffee, a fantastic choice of food and beverage options, a very good supermarket and outstanding cinema.

Further afield, but no more than 20 minutes drive, are 30+ wineries and restaurants, fishing rivers, several golf courses, superb beaches, ,Te Mata Peak and Park, Cape Kidnappers, Napier City (Art Deco), Farmers Markets and the wonderful 00kms+ cycle trails.

In addition to our own home (with pool that guests are most welcome to enjoy) of over 25 years we have John's House (see sep listing) and the property offers over two hectares of lawns and gardens. The two houses together are a great dynamic for extended family gatherings and group events, garden weddings etc.
As hosts we respect the privacy of guests at all times. Equally we are always happy to share our local knowledge and help in any way. Your holiday. Our privilege.

Space for up to 2 more people available. $80 per person per night, for children and adults.

Set in over 2 hectares of lawns and gardens The Pavilion is secluded and peaceful in a rural situation bounding the Karamu Stream. The cute village of Havelock North is 3 minutes by car or cycle and a pleasant 10 minute stroll away. Hawkes Bay is world renowned for wineries and vineyards, fantastic restaurants and some of the best weather in NZ. Cycling, hiking, fishing, golf, and wonderful beaches all within an easy and picturesque 20 minute drive.
