Great place to rest and relax!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Berry Farm, it was quiet and peaceful and the hosts really helped to make our stay special. The property was clean and nicely appointed, had everything that you could use for an extended stay. We enjoyed strolling around the property and watched the wildlife in the nearby pond.For activities, we went to Te Mata Peak to take pictures of the sunset, fed the Penguins at the nearby National Aquarium of New Zealand, went to the Strawberry Patch for local fruits & vegetables, went on a wine tasting at the Linden Estate Winery in Napier and went into nearby Hastings for dinner & groceries.The hosts were kind enough to provide-us with many apples and we had an opportunity to pick raspberries from their garden. Great place to rest and relax!

The most amazing week

This property is wonderful if you want to relax and enjoy the surroundings of the berry farm. The owners Matthew, and Di can’t do enough for you, including cleaning the grill every time you use it and providing big bowls of apples and fresh fruit. I would recommend this to anybody who wants peace and quiet for the convenience of being in the Hawkes Bay area.

The Berry Farm Retreat

My Mother and I stayed at this lovely little spot. It lives up to it's name and is a tranquil spot to unwind and relax but still close enough to Hastings to stock up on supplies and visit tourist spots. The Hosts Di and Matthew were wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. Their local knowledge meant we were able to sample all the local delights on our trip. Among our highlights were the melt in your mouth raspberries, the visits from all the birdlife and Snowy the Goat. We would definitely recommend and also return again in the Future.
