As a well traveled couple we were very pleased with the property. Clean, and comfortable with a great shower. Well equipped. Diana and Jeff were both helpful and pleasant. Helped with booking dinner reservations in Havelock North. That too was a great experience! Restaurants are very good. More

Havelock House is in a tranquil setting on the edge of Havelock North. Diana and Jeff are marvellous hosts - nothing too much trouble. Our rooms were very spacious and nicely luxurious - guests have their own lounge and access to the games room (we didn't have time for snooker or for a dip in the swimming pool!). Breakfasts were...

My boyfriend and I (32 & 29) are travelling for a year on a tight budget, but decided to splash out for 3 days over Christmas as it was our first away from home. We did a lot of research in order to find somewhere homely and not some hotel with a lack of atmosphere. I really dont think we... More

What one does not expect but hopes for is a five star experience. We got this in spades at this wonderful BandB. Diana and Geoff were most welcoming from the get-go. Making reservations and suggestions that proved to be fabulous. In particular was a suggestion to have Robert take us on the most wonderful wine tour at a cost which... More

We stayed in the large room - it was beautifully appointed, spacious, clean and felt totally luxurious with great views. The bathroom with huge spa, shower and also great views... More

We have just returned from our 6 night stay in the delightful Havelock House (Dec 2011) and cannot recommend this lovely B & B more highly. We used two rooms, both of which were large, beautifully furnished with every need and comfort met. The setting of the house is fabulous, in lovely countryside just outside Havelock North. Our hosts, Diana... More

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic stay at Havelock House over the Labour Day weekend, so much so that I have since recommended the place to my parents who are visiting from the UK. Plenty to do with tennis court and swimming pool. Relaxed surroundings but Napier/Havelock/wineries all within reach. 5 More
