Absolutely lovely place to stay. Clean, comfortable, well appointed. Everything you need and lovely extra touches to make you feel right at home. Location quiet but close enough to everything. Hosts were lovely and very accommodating. Had an amazing stay. Highly recommend.
Really enjoyed our stay, such a cute home, incredibly comfortable, and so thoughtfully cared for and set up - all the little bits and pieces that you need in the kitchen, bathroom etc. Very quiet area, lovely private garden, and great value for money. Cool design, and comfy beds too - everything you need! Will stay again if the opportunity arises.
Really good place. Cosy,comfortable with well stocked kitchen. Great location and good facilities. If we are visiting Hawkes Bay again, would love to stay here.
Fabulous place to stay. House had everything you needed and it was so clean and welcoming. It was fully fenced so very safe for the kids to play on scooters. Location was great as it was a short drive to the shops and really close to Havelock North. Great bonus having 2 air conditioning units as it really cooled down the bedrooms on hot nights. Would love to stay again!

Wonderful place to stay. Seems newly renovated and exceptionally clean. Ideal if you are looking for 2 bedrooms, Lounge and kitchen. Also has a BBQ which was a bonus.
Excellent property, clean, well resourced, quiet, and really appreciated the complimentary milk/juice/wine! Was exactly what we were looking for during our time in Hawkes Bay. Highly recommend.
We couldn't recommend UNDER THE ELMS enough. The day we arrived was Hawkes Bays coldest day of the Winter so far. The heat pumps were on - the house was warm and welcoming. The gorgeous bathroom tiles were warm! Wine in the fridge, coffee in the pantry, beautiful decor....a real TREAT.
This is such a good spot. Clean recently done up.warm. good modern kitchen. Super new beds. Gas fire 2 heat pumps and a gas fire.handy to havelock or hastings. Quiet neighborhood. Would highly recommend.
The properry was as seen in the pictures. We were impressed with the cleanliness, as well as the little details, such as the underfloor heating and heated towel rails in the bathroom. It was spacious enough for our family of four. It is close to most attractions in and around Hastings.
This warm and welcoming cottage Under the Elms, located in a residential neighborhood in Hastings was a delightful respite from the abundant ho hum hotels and holiday park cabin accommodations we experienced since leaving Auckland. This rare gem is appointed with fully stocked kitchen, heated bath floors and towel bars, cozy living room and patio sitting areas. The two bedrooms are fitted with excellent quality beds and linens, making sleeping in a treat. The windows and lighting in the cottage are intentional and make for a welcoming feel from the moment you step through the door. The main bedroom has a king and the second bedroom is a full/queen, plan accordingly if you have larger 6’3 & 6’5” boys. The location and grounds were perfect, with lemon and lime trees outside the bathroom windows and beautiful roses outside the bedroom windows. This property is what all VRBOs aspire to be. Wonderful! We will return and hopefully for longer next time.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely well appointed and well stocked house . Everything went smoothly from booking to arrival - hosts were prompt to reply and instructions were clear and easy to follow. Highly recommend
