Weekender in Havelock Nth
The property was small but it had everything we needed for a weekend visiting family. Close to the shopping area and restaurants of Havelock Nth nut with a rural outlook. Very quiet at night.

Recent stay
The bookabatch booking experience was dreadful. 3 times the amount was taken then immediately reversed so not booked. We had to get the bank involved. Eventually the booking was made. The studio itself was a little smaller than we anticipated . We were offered an upgrade at not cost to another one on site but at that time we’re all unpacked so decided not to move. Hosts were welcoming and friendly.

Lovely tiny cottage in Havelock North
Great week cottage. Couldn't find the address on the booking when I went back into it but the owner contacted me straight away. We had found it by then :) It was a beautiful setting and a lovely quiet stay. Loved it and would go there again. Central to the whole of the Hawkes Bay.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay—the owners were very friendly and did an incredible job of making the accommodation welcoming. I could very easily stay there again in future.

Tiny is right but my feedback would be that it needs new linen as this is very old. Still clean but just old. The unit has no insulation so it is bitterly cold even with a heater on it’s hard to heat. Close to town 5 mins to restaurants.

We came to celebrate a friends wedding. Glenda and Ross greeted us on arrival and we’re super helpful with an earlier check in so we could make the ceremony on time. The tiny apple had everything we needed and more. Highly recommended, thank you Clare and Rhys

Very compact but well and well equipped
Lovely host. Unfortunately we couldn’t walk to town, which was a big disappointment, as so close, as the crow flys. The apartment was very small but well equipped. Bed very soft and very bouncy, so didn’t sleep well, as disturbed each other. Lovely area close to good pubs and restaurants, but needed to drive there.

Gorgeous property and a great location - peaceful but still very close to Havelock North and Hastings. We brought our bikes and loved having the cycle paths so close. The room itself is small but has everything you need for a short stay and the hosts are so lovely. We will be back for sure!

It is a really tiny room attached to a house. The wifi only worked while sitting in the carport which was extremely annoying. The 4 pm checkin was also annoying. However, the room had everything we needed and the bathroom was lovely

We just loved our Tiny Apple Studio. It was all we needed. Waking up in the morning hearing all the different birds. Even quail in the back yard talking and a pheasant calling out. Thankyou to our hosts whom are very lovely people. Sorry we didn't get to say goodbye in the morning.
