Willowford Cottage Farmstay and Horse Trekking

Just a short drive from Napier/Hastings, Willowford Cottage is a 1950’s renovated, self-contained farm cottage, with two bedrooms and one bathroom, open-plan kitchen and living area with all modern appliances and a HUGE deck to enjoy the beautiful Hawkes Bay weather. Fully fenced in, you won’t have to worry about those little ones wandering off onto the surrounding farmland. If the extended family and friends want to join you there is plenty of room to pitch tents or park up the campervan.

Come on out and either relax and enjoy the slower pace of rural life—listen to the Tui’s in the trees and the sound of the Willowford stream while enjoying a good book, or take part in farm tours and ‘have a go’ at seasonal farm activities on the family farm; or horse trekking. We run a unique horse trekking operation and can cater for any experience level which is a fantastic way to see the local farmland and district.

And that’s just what we personally can offer you—there is also the hunting, fishing and tramping within 10 minutes drive to tempt you. Local wineries and gardens are also a must see and are only short distance from the cottage.

We love our lifestyle and believe that everyone should have the chance to be a part of true New Zealand. We hope to make your stay with us as memorable and treasured as we possibly can.
