About this property

Serene escape just 5 minutes from Havelock North

Our large and spacious guesthouse is set amongst an olive grove on 4.5 acres of beautifully landscaped property. Only a 5 minute drive from the center of Havelock, or 15 minutes to Hastings, our location is ideally close and convenient, but feels far away once on property. We invite you to enjoy a nature walk where you might see ducks, native birds, rabbits, our resident hedgehog named Eric, our five sheep, or our two chihuahuas that might come say hi with a big bark! Please close all gates that you find closed to ensure the safety of our sheep.

We look forward to hosting you!

THE SPACE
Our guesthouse is situated on top of a hill that enjoys epic views out toward the mountain ranges. A very comfortable queen bed is outfitted with linens from Wallace Cotton and the kitchen is full of everything you need to cook yourself entire meals at home.

The bathroom has a shower, toilet and sink all in the same space. We provide luxury towels.

Outside we have an outdoor bathtub that is completely private and very romantic overlooking the beautiful views and outfitted with warm water. We provide 2 dressing gowns/robes for our guests and 2 beach towels for use at the bath.

We provide coffee, tea, breakfast cereals, spices and all the amenities you would find in your own kitchen at home for your convenience.

GUEST ACCESS
Guest parking is located right outside your guest house with a sign designating your spot as the "Olive Tree Lodge Parking". You walk up a paver path, past the outdoor bath to enter the unit, providing you with a private entrance to your space through the front sliding glass doors.

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 .

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.

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!
