Observe the tame native birdlife from the sumptuous couch on the deck that looks out at the valley and sea.
Our new gorgeous addition is a purpose built gym/yoga studio to help you achieve health and wellbeing on your relaxing holiday.
Help yourself to anything seasonal that is in the gardens or orchards. Complete your stress free day by soaking in the private spa with a complimentary bottle of wine.
We have tried to think of everything you need when away for a romantic get away. There is an outside fire to enjoy if it's chilly. A private Bar B Que area. Numerous areas on the property to sit and contemplate life. The cottage has a smart TV and quality magazines to fill in any spare time you might have. We like you to treat the cottage as home while you are here.

Wonderful Hosts

This is a wonderful place to relax and explore the Napier area. The house is on a beautiful piece of property. When we arrived there were provisions in the fridge and Sheryl welcomed us. It was a very pleasant experience and we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. We were sad to leave.

A great place for a restful break

This property is comfotable and welcoming. The host really makes it a home from home, they have many personal touches to make your stay a good one. The property is peaceful, quiet and with no light polution , a great place to sit out under the stars. There are so many places on the property to sit with very different outlooks, you will always have a place to rest.

Fabulous haven for relaxation in comfort

A magnificent country setting and a very well appointed cottage make this a truly special place to stay. The owners could not have been more helpful, yet give you total privacy in the accommodation. Excellent facilities. A well appointed kitchen, modern bathroom, and very comfortable bed all add to the experience. Wandering round the beautiful gardens, and soaking in the hot tub add extra bonus points to this truly amazing place.

Tuis, stars, and fresh eggs!

We had a fabulous time at Sheryl's place, which began with a warm welcome. We enjoyed free range eggs and a bottle of local wine, luxuriating in the spa, and spending time looking at both the countryside and the sea. We would highly recommend this lovely get-away.

Wonderful Stay!

I stayed here for two weeks and the experience was wonderful. Sheryl was such a welcoming and lovely host and accommodated us with whatever we needed or asked for. It was comfortable and the view and surrounding area was beautiful to experience, especially in the hot tub! Staying here was worth the extra bit of distance from Napier and Hastings because it felt so removed from the city and had lots of peace and quiet (including the occasional distant bleat of sheep or moos!). Because my partner and I are total homebodies, it was a nice place to experience and appreciate the nature in NZ on the days we didn't go out. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you have or plan to rent a car!

Amazing holiday

This was easily one of the best places we've ever stayed at. Impeccable, functional, and stunning. The host (Sheryl) was friendly, kind, and helpful. She gave us our space, but was always on hand to help if needed. We will definitely come back if we can. I cannot say enough nice things about this gem of a place. 🙂

Exactly what I was hoping for, very relaxed and quiet and comfortable . Our host was really great and answered any queries we had. The spa was sublime. An excellent place to stay and we intend to return before too long. Really appreciated the food and the refreshments left for us in the fridge.

The Ultimate R & R

What an absolute gem we were lucky to find for our 2 night getaway to enjoy the Robbie Williams concert and just to press pause for a moment. Paul and Cheryl Seafield Cottage is a credit to you both and you have thought of everything. Your warmth and hospitality is equally matched with utmost privacy to enjoy your stay at this beautiful spot. You went over and beyond with helping us with transport and we can’t thank you enough. These two people are true gems! And we couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. Thank you x

Magical Memories

The overall experience felt like an outerbody experience!!! This is nature on steroids. Cheryl and Paul's studio, once you settle in you won't want to leave. Just sitting outside on the comfortable sofa while watching the birds drink from Cheryl's special formula was my favorite! Viewing the stars while sitting in the spa was high on the list too! Don't hesitate booking, we tried to extend our stay but the studio was booked so you might want to add a few more days to your stay..

Outstanding location for those who desire bliss

I cannot possibly praise this place enough! The photos do not do it justice. Sheryl communicated with us perfectly prior to arrival and in even more detail when she knew she would not able to meet us on site as planned. In her absence, her husband, Paul, greeted us and was kind enough to show us around the property, giving us a bit of the history behind its evolution. What he and Sheryl have created in the landscape, the gardens, the decor and amenities in the unit itself are astounding. We had a long day getting there from Nelson and didn't arrive until after 5 PM. The fridge was stocked with enough goodies for us to make a light dinner and hearty breakfast. Every kitchen and bath detail one could wish for was available. The most comfortable robes you'll ever find got us to and from the nearby hot tub to relax under the full moon. And the morning sunrise greeted us through the windows/doors on the front of the building. The sounds of Tui and other birds feeding from the deck were delightful. (I think I even had a personal relationship going with the really fat Tui.) Our stay was too short. Please plan your stay to include at least 3-4 nights. Our next regret was in not getting to meet Sheryl, the artist who planned, designed and created the gardens which provided absolute zen with every view and breath.
