We had an extended stay at The Loft and it was terrific. The location is fantastic, just far enough out of "the Village" to get a fabulous view from the patio and still close enough so a 1 minute drive gets you into the center of Havelock North with it's great shopping and restaurants. Thanks, John and Iris! More

Breakfast was superb and the atmosphere was relaxed yet sophisticated. Our Mother / Daughter escape... More
