ブルーベル ロッジ アンド コテージ(Bluebell Lodge and Cottage)

Considering it was a spur of the moment thought at 9pm that I needed to stop the night somewhere and this place was available, was a very good choice. The hosts were really nice and helpful. The accommodation was lovely and I already have mentioned it to others. Best place for recommendations. I will go back there again.

Fantastic stay with Max and Carol. Lovely well appointed place set in a quiet garden with plenty grass area for kids to safely run around. Lots of things to do nearby, we visited the National aquarium and Splash Planet in Hastings, all well worth a visit. Fantastic hosts with a wonderful place.

The hosts were exceptional and were very accommodating to our ever changing check in time. Wonderful and peaceful location to wind down before our road trip to Wellington

The owner is helpful and friendly. The property is nice and clean.

Thanks Carol. The King Studio was perfect for us as a base for two days visiting friends in the area. Warm, comfortable, good bed, en-suite that worked and kitchen bits that were ideal for two people. It was a good place to return to after a day away. We will return. Neil.

I stayed here with my daughter, and it was the best stay! It was so comfortable, and welcoming, I would have liked to have stayed for longer. Carol and Max are amazing hosts and went out of their way to make sure I had the best stay. They even brought over a high chair, bowls and a okay mat for my daughter. Honestly, can't recommend this place enough! Perfect place to stay in Hawkes Bay.

Lovely to be out of the city.

I’ve been spoilt by the anonymity of AirBNB - and come to think of it most contemporary accommodation providers. No paper work, no show you round the property, no this is a blanket…. Just a key and the wifi code. So the in-person, fussy check-in was over the top, stifling and set off my experience badly. Not boutique!! The location surrounded by a working orchard is quite pretty - especially with the blossoms out. The gardens round the main house are attractive. The 3units have little privacy, especially the one bedroom unit. They are plonked in the paddock, with little thought to views, privacy or solar orientation. The decks, and each and every window, over look each other. The studio -despite being straight onto the drive- is the most private. Not boutique. Once inside, Lazy Boys dominate the living area, focused at the huge screen TV. Theres ample Kiwi kitsch chintz- including coasters and placemats on each surface?!? A mix of dated and new fittings and decor- its classic kiwi accommodation from 10years ago - with new curtains. Not boutique. There’s A LOT of rules! If anyone actually gets past the page with the wifi code on!! No recycling is available. All bathroom products are single use and plastic wrapped. Nice plush carpet. Nice Denby crockery and Por**errion bits. Bed was comfy. But no headboard. Only unit not to have a bbq. The bathroom was clean and … practical though the towels a little small and past best. Industry tea & coffee only provisions, in an otherwise well equipped kitchen. Wifi doesn’t extend to the bedroom. Check out is the old 10am kick out. Not boutique! Would recommend to a less discerning traveller. Wont stay again. If you want boutique accommodation in this area - Haumoana Herb Cottage.

We booked last minute and was warmly welcomed. The unit was lovely with a nice coffee machine, comfortable furniture and for once a decent bed! To be able to relax in the surroundings was great and the host suggested nice places to go for dinner that night. We had a very comfortable stay and would definitely book again if needed.
