Peach Gully Cottage, Havelock North

With the long golden sands of Waimarama beach an easy three minutes by car, Peach Gully offers peace and tranquility close to nature with views across native bush to the Pacific Ocean.  This beautifully  transformed former shepherd’s hut, is a well-kept Hawke’s Bay secret, secluded and tranquil - ideal for romantic couples and only 20 minutes away from Havelock North.

Built in 1914, the cottage has been tastefully restored to retain the integrity of the era, yet offer its guests the comfort and convenience of a modern home, including a fully equipped modern kitchen, log fire and superior furniture and linen.

Peach Gully offers a truly relaxing 'get away from it all' stay.  Soak in the deep cast-iron bath with a book, or doze on the front porch - where a bottle of local wine will be waiting for you on arrival.  Take your pick from a range of activities, including day and night tennis, swimming (pool and ocean), petanque, surfing and scenic farm walks.  A local surfside restaurant offers a delicious range of dining options.

If you insist on being active, the many attractions of Hawke's Bay Wine Country are readily accessible by car, with the stunning Craggy Range Vineyard and Restaurant only 15 minutes drive away.

But if you'd prefer to 'stay put' there's plenty on offer on your doorstep to enjoy - Peach Gully is famous for its waterfall and springs, limestone bluffs wrapped in natural bush, native birds and stunning views out to sea.  The Maori translation of Waimarama is "moon on the water" and the night sky here is spectacular.
