Easter weekend in Villa 2 - just perfect! A fabulous, peaceful location set amongst the olive trees with wonderful views across the countryside. Very conveniently located for visiting the many wineries in the surrounding area, Havelock North, Hastings and the local coastline. Rose, the owner, couldn't have done more to help and the villa was impeccably clean on arrival. Tea,... More

What a great spot, the Villa is so comfortable, the views over the vineyards and Hawks Bay a delight. We stayed 2 nights recently and found Villa #1 just right for 2 people. Very light and breezy, large windows in every room opening onto fantastic scenery. A fully equipped kitchen and laundry make it ideal for those on an extended... More

Architect designed, thoughtfully laid out villas with a stunning view over meadows and olive groves to distant mountains and the sea. Sunny north facing terraces, welcoming spacious rooms, tastefully decorated and well equipped. Comfort and quality abound. BBQ's, a tennis court, close proximity to famous vineyards Craggy Range and Te Mata and a few minutes drive to lovely Havelock North.... More

This is a wonderful villa to stay at. Rose is a very friendly and helpful host. The view from our villa was spectacular. Our breakfast pack was well stocked. We were close enough to Napier, Hastings and Havelock North that we were able to get every convenience we needed, yet we felt as though we were out in country with... More

What a beautifully located and equipped vacation rental. Views over the olive groves over Hawkes Bay, Te Mata peak to the rear, Black Barn Vineyard within walking distance. Photos do not flatter. Bedrooms are spacious, sitting area is comfortable, kitchen is top notch. Can't recommend highly enough. Only downside (for some) is that the beds are pretty firm.

This was our first family trip touring North Island NZ and we explored all types of accommodation - 5 star hotel, self catering apartment, B and B and the lovely VIlla 2 at Telegraph Hills. This was my favourite - the property is brilliant for family of four - relaxing large spaces for everyone to chill out, plenty of amenities... More

We started the new year with a relaxing 2 days at Villa 1 - the one bedroom villa at Telegraph Hill. We have stayed there once before with a friend, and have tried to book several times since but it is very popular. This time I was organised and didn't miss out! On previous public holidays the local markets, shops... More

We recently stayed in the two bedroom Villa at Telegraph Hill Villas and it was perfect! We were staying there for our wedding for two nights - the first night was my two bridesmaids and I the night before the wedding, and the second night was my new husband (!) and I on the wedding night. The accommodation was beautiful,... More

We've just returned from our 4th stay (5 days this time) at Telegraph Hill and as usual - totally rejuvenated. The location and outlook from Villa One are stunning and encourage you to just stay and relax. We created a couple of breakfasts and a lunch out of Rose's fresh supplies, however some of the local eateries are so good... More
