A REAL TREAT

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.

Very nice

We were pleasantly surprised at not only how nicely this older home had been renovated, but also how much attention to detail the host had taken. They even had tissues, something we find most hosts neglect. Well recommended.

Festive Getaway

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.

Exquisite!

We had the best stay here! The house is beautiful and cozy—I honestly wish my house looked like this (especially the bathroom). It was easy to find and all instructions were clearly laid out (with photos). I’d give this one 10 stars if I could. I hope to make it back some day!

Fantastic stay for our long weekend! Coming home after a long days of Squash and a few beers to a nice cosy place!
