Summary: What a stunning location among the apple orchards and vineyards of Hawkes Bay. We enjoyed two weeks at the lovely Dew Drop Cottage, although with 4 bedrooms its more like a house than your typical cottage. The place is fabulously comfortable from the two recliner couches in the living room, to the luxurious beds, two bathrooms and a wonderful kitchen with every amenity you need to cook at home. There is a large BBQ on the deck, an outdoor dining table and a couple of loungers to enjoy the sunshine. We were supplied with milk, juice, cookies, a bottle of wine and plenty of apples from the orchard. We thoroughly enjoyed feeding carrots to Lightening, the pony, and the big racehorse. Wendy & John are very personable hosts and we enjoyed talking to them during our stay. This accommodation lacks for nothing and we highly recommend this lovely house in the countryside. It really is a slice of heaven here!! Thank you for hosting us and I hope we make it back one day. Susan & Blair
