My husband booked this venue after hearing about their murder mystery nights advertised on the radio, it sounded like a bit of fun but we didn't know what to expect. We arrived to a roaring fire and an open bar. We were greeted by our wonderful host mike who gave us a quick run down of the nights game before... More

Really glad we found this little gem. Being locals we were looking for somewhere special in the Bay to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were warmly welcomed by Mike at the front door of this enchanting historic home. The wood fire and Devonshire tea awaited us in the lounge, followed later by a candlelit dinner for two in the dining... More

Our stay at Hawthorne House was fantastic. The house was beautiful in a relaxing environment. Mike and Mel as hosts could not have been better. Thoroughly helpful with planning our stay in the area. Great location for exploring Hawkes Bay. The breakfasts and canapés were amazing with home made or local produce. Don't miss the muffins if you get a... More

We stayed at Hawthorne House for two nights (April 13 & 14), and wish we could have stayed longer! The house is elegant with high ceilings and big rooms, and at the same time has modern, updated bathrooms. Our hosts, Michael and Mel Lewis, were warm and friendly, and very helpful with ideas of local events and restaurants in the... More

I recently attended a Murder Mystery Dinner Evening that was a lot of fun. I organised the evening and Mike was just great to deal with, welcoming, friendly and professional. The evening was well organised and the actors did a brilliant job. Our group of 34 all had a wonderful time and some of us dressed in the 1920 era.... More

Hawthorne House was the fifth stop on our trip to New Zealand and, once again, we were not disappointed with our choice of accommodation. We stayed in Willow Room, which was really lovely. Mike, the owner, proved to be a great host and made some really great recommendations of where to visit and where to eat in the Hawkes Bay... More

We decided to stay outside Napier and from the reviews booked Hawthorne House. We were greeted by Michael the owner and were treated with friendliness and warmth. A Devonshire tea of fresh home cooked produce just hit the spot after hours of travel. The room was large and covered all the amenities required, and Michael suggested a local winery for... More

Mike and Mel provided us with an excellent experience. The winery and bike ride recommendations were perfect and we didn't have to make one phone call - Mike was more than happy to help.

Our mid-April stay at this lovely B&B was our first visit to Hawkes Bay. Michael attended to our every need and provided helpful information to find our way around. Although we stayed in the smallest room, it was spacious and comfortable with views to the beautiful courtyard. While the location is off of the main hwy, it is set back... More

Food was wonderful and when we got in the 1st day we were early but greeted with open arms and was even offered tea and fresh made scones for a pick me up before we started exploring. The rooms are huge and CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN and... More
