Testimonial

An absolute credit to the owners and managers. Immaculate accommodation. Very clean and well presented. Fantastic quiet location, close to cycle track access. Outdoor seating area is very private and gives sun / shade options. Good sized unit with opening sliders to allow indoor outdoor flow.

We will definitely return.

Full marks to the on-site crew. The place is immaculate.

I can not stress how absolutely amazing Lawn Cottages were to stay with. They literally had everything you could possibly think of available, from kitchen utensils to an excellent laundry room. Beautiful well kept gardens, and the cottage itself, it was absolutely stunning. We stayed in the Flax Cottage and I could not get over how beautifully clean everything was, like to the extent where I wish I knew how to get my shower that sparkly and clean! (Seriously, what products do you use?!) The Cottages themselves exceeded my expectations of any place to stay, they were super roomy and comfortable so you didn’t didn’t up feeling cramped at all when having guests visit! There was air-conditioning in the Cottage for the sunny Hawkes Bay weather, fly screens on opening windows to prevent pesky mosquitos, literally everything has been thought of! The beds were comfortable, the wheelchair access ramps were handy for those who may require, we loved it so much that our Uncle ended up staying in the unit next door to us after we recommended Lawn Cottages to stay in for my Grandmother’s funeral. My parents loved being able to relax and get away from the stress of arranging the funeral while visiting us at the cottages also. They found it serene and peaceful and loved how tranquil the gardens were. Thankyou endlessly for being such an excellent host! We will definitely be staying again!

There was literally nothing we did not like! The only thing this place could do with to make it even more perfect would be to have a spa available for guests for when the children are asleep possibly! Still not a negative thing, just would be an added bonus!

Hi Janie, we had the best stay ever and cannot wait to return to Lawn Cottages. We all loved the breakaway and were so impressed that there wasn’t one thing we needed or hadn’t been thought about.

What we see in the photos is actually what they look like.. So beautifully situated. If you need a break away from the city life. This is the place to stay and you can take your much loved doggy human.. ( there are rules though) ask about these. We didn’t need a thing. Well equipped kitchen bathroom and very comfortable beds. The scenery is picturesque and you are 5 minutes walk to the ocean. We stayed for 4 days and will return again. I recommend staying there. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Jainie, Eric and team from Lawn Cottages.

Just letting you know we have checked out and to thank you very much for a wonderful stay at Lawn Cottages. We all loved your place and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage had absolutely everything you could need and is very cozy and beautiful. Thanks and regards,

What did we like?

The promotional advertising says it all, and honestly! Everything was as specified; spotlessly clean, excellent furnishings, spacious dining table, comfy chairs, sofa, superior beds, lots of room for everything, kitchen was top notch and the collection of cutlery, utensils, cleaning materials etc was really amongst the best we have encountered… BBQ, 2 TVs, superior heat pump and underfloor heating as well. Lots of extra blankets, spare this and that right down to laundry pegs. This is what accommodation should be like, but often really isn’t. Unreservedly recommended. A credit to the owners, management and staff.

Leaving!!!

Lawn Cottages are an exceptional place to stay in the Bay. Janie is very obliging and accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. The cottages are fully self-contained and very well supplied with everything that you need. The cottages are modern and stylish, exceptionally clean and well presented. The kitchen appliances are also modern and easy to use. There is plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans as well as a good selection of sharp knives if you opt to eat in. The bed was super comfortable and the linen was crisp. There were plenty of good quality towels as well. The cottage has a smart tv with free Netflix, sports channels require a personal subscription login. The cottages are exceptional value for money and I can highly recommend them.

We just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay, and how impressed we were with every aspect. You have done an amazing job there, positioning the cottages for maximum privacy.
Your pre-booking communication is second to none, and you were so accommodating when we needed to postpone.
The cottage itself was so well appointed, and so comfortable, we spent much more time there than we expected!
The kitchen was the best provided we have ever seen in any accommodation. We were especially impressed with the range of wine glasses!!!
We will definitely be back to stay, next time we plan a trip to the Bay.
Regards and best wishes
