The Cow Cottage - semi-rural peaceful idyll, 10 mins to Napier. Fab location.

Welcome to The Cow Cottage. This is the bigger cottage of The Cow & Calf Cottages. The Calf Cottage is its sister cottage also available to book. The Cow Cottage has a spacious open plan lounge with Smart TV and comfy couches. There is a fully fitted and well kitted out kitchen as well as a table for eating at. There are 2 separate bedrooms: the first with a double bed and the second with 2 singles (PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE SMALL SINGLES AND MEASURE 183cm x 65cm). There is a bathroom with shower.

The Cow has decking around it, so you can sit outside and look at the spectacular view opposite during the day and the night sky once dark. There is minimal light pollution, and we sometimes get to see the Milky Way. There is an outside area for picnics/ dining. The Cow is fully fenced and away from the main house. There is also ample off-road parking.

Our other 1 bed cottage The Calf, is within the same fenced area. The outside picnic / dining area is shared.

The views from The Cow are incredible ... just look at the photos. Although we are just 10 minutes' drive from Napier, and 15 minutes' drive from both Napier airport and Hastings, we are semi-rural and it is very peaceful here. You really get the best of both worlds!

We are situated right by the Puketapu Cycle track which is part of the Hawkes Bay Trails- https://www.hbtrails.nz/ride-our-trails/trail-map/ - So, if you're here to cycle, you can set off straight from your cottage. We have secure storage for bikes (please arrange your own insurance though).

We are situated only 1 min drive to Shed 530 Bistro & Winery https://shed530.com/ one of the many fantastic wineries in the region & the Puketapu Pub & dairy are within walking distance too. The river is 5 mins walk away, so easy to cool off in the summer.

Whether you're here to cycle the tracks, explore the wineries and local beaches, go Art Deco or simply relax, we are brilliantly positioned for you.
