Northala Cottage; your private self-contained home - FREE Wi-Fi

We are at the southern-most point of the Heretaunga Plains, the heart-land of award-winning wines and fruit-growing with views north up the sun-drenched valley toward Havelock North (9km). While olive groves and vineyards are nearby there are no orchards close or associated sprays. On a favoured circuit for cyclist training, the flat terrain is the choice for cycle racing, motorbike touring and a local stage of the yearly national 'Targa Rally' (October) for road racing cars. Most days we are surrounded by gentle rural sounds of the Louisa Stream, birds and farm animals . The stream next to the cottage is fenced to develop as nature reserve with new planting of native trees . Its clear water is currently has been home to fresh-water crayfish 'Kura', Eel and small fish and support pairs of Kingfisher and Blue-faced Heron and occasionally a breeding Ruru (native owl) family. Seasonal fruit for guests to pick include apples, plums, peaches and peach-cot and field mushrooms. While it is possible to bike to Havelock North in about 30 to 45 minutes, 10 minutes drive will give access to the extensive cycle/walkway network, wineries with wine tasting and fine food, the many attractions of Havelock North Village cafes, restaurants and boutiques and the Information Center for help, advice and booking tours. Cycles are available for hire in both Havelock North and Napier.
