Just 30 minutes from Havelock North and only three minutes from the iconic Patangata Tavern, Farm View Cottage offers a peaceful country retreat designed for life’s most memorable moments — from honeymoons and babymoons to anniversary escapes, birthday celebrations, romantic getaways, and even proposal weekends under the stars.
Set against a backdrop of panoramic views stretching over a tranquil pond and out across rolling Hawke’s Bay farmland, the black-and-white board-and-batten cottage perfectly blends rustic charm with modern comfort.
Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen — ready for everything from a hearty Sunday roast to a simple cheese toasty — and a cozy sitting area where you can curl up by the fire. A luxurious queen bed and a beautifully appointed bathroom ensure that every detail is designed for comfort and relaxation.
Step outside onto the sheltered deck with its BBQ and seating, or take a seat at the bar leaner with high-backed chairs and watch the farm landscape change with the light, hour by hour. In the evenings, settle into the Cape Cod chairs by the chiminea and enjoy a fire beneath a sky full of stars. For the ultimate indulgence, sink into the private outdoor bath — an intimate place to soak, sip, and let your worries melt away.
Whether you’re toasting to love, marking a milestone, or simply in need of a refreshing escape, Farm View Cottage is where you can slow down, recharge, and reconnect. With two beaches just 15 minutes away, a welcoming pub down the road, and Havelock North a short drive away, it’s the ideal base to enjoy the best of Hawke’s Bay.
And it’s the thoughtful touches that make your stay unforgettable: fresh farm eggs for breakfast, luxury soaps and bath bombs, twinkling outdoor lights, a coffee machine for slow mornings, and even a pull-down projector for cozy nights in.
Farm View Cottage isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to celebrate, to reconnect, and to create lasting memories.
