Bluebell Lodge And Cottage  

Out in Hastings' Longlands, set in a quiet rural orchard spot about 4–5 km from Hastings and Havelock North. A short drive (around 10 minutes) gets you to Splash Planet and Amazing Maze 'n Maize; Te Mata Peak is roughly 3.2 km away and Hawke's Bay Racecourse about 3.8 km.

Tiny and private — just three units on site, from a separate studio to two self-contained cottages. Expect verandahs, private furnished balconies or patios, leather recliners, aircon/heat pump units and pillowtop beds with premium bedding. Cottages come with fridges, microwaves and full kitchen gear in the two-bedroom unit (oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washing machine); the studio offers tea and coffee facilities.

On-site seasonal outdoor pool (unheated) plus picnic and BBQ areas for relaxed meals. There's a restaurant on the property and garden/terrace spaces to unwind. Free self-parking, DVD/SKY/cable TVs in rooms, luggage storage, laundry, dry cleaning and tour/ticket assistance are all available — and complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. Wake up to orchard breezes and country quiet.

Complimentary wireless internet is provided. Luggage storage and laundry facilities make longer stays easier.

An on-site restaurant serves local Hawke's Bay flavors. For casual dining, use the picnic and BBQ areas or the self-contained kitchen in the cottages; the studio has tea and coffee facilities.
