Breakfast was of a high standard with ample choice. The B&B is located in a peaceful residential area but with easy access to attractions in Napier, Hastings and Havelock North. The hosts are welcoming and helpful.

We loved the friendly and the hosts were very accommodating to us checking in early to prepare for our event after travelling from afar. The location was close to our event and safe and secure off-street parking for our car was an added plus. The breakfast was great with homemade jams, both preserved and fresh fruits and a variety of cereals including gluten free. Very kind in sharing produce from their fruit trees. The hosts made us feel welcome but also gave us privacy to relax and do our thing. Will definitely stay again. Thank you.

Sally and Gavin are warm, welcoming hosts with an abundance of local knowledge and advice. On arrival I was immediately welcomed with a glass (or 2) of local wine, and we chatted for hours like old friends whilst sat on their beautiful deck overlooking their magical garden. My room was spacious, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was freshly prepared to a time of my choosing. A lovely selection of fresh fruit, cereal and home made jams. Gavin also does an outstanding poached egg on toast, cooked to perfection.👌 Unfortunately I didnt get to try out the pool and hot tub because I arrived late and left early🥺. I would definitely stay again here if i was in the area😊 It was a privilege to be a guest in Sally in Gavins home. It was outstanding value for money even before they gave me a discount when they realised I was a single traveller. Such generosity and kindness on their part.

My mum and I had a great stay at Ashcroft Gardens. We were a bit skeptical about staying at a BnB, but Sally and Gavin were so warm and welcoming, we felt completely at home. The room was spacious and comfortable and the brekky delicious - loads of fresh fruit, great cereals, toast with a variety of spreads, fresh juices and/or a cooked option. A bonus was chatting with the other guests, some local and others international. Sally and Gavin themselves were great to talk to and also incredibly generous. We came away with a bag avocados from their tree. Yum! The home is set amidst lovely gardens and is a short drive or an easy 30-minute walk to Taradale village. It’s handily placed to local vineyards, including the Mission and Church Road - great for those outdoor summer concerts. Location-wise it’s hard to beat if you want to explore the rest of Hawkes Bay, with Napier, Hastings and Havelock North all within easy reach. We'll most certainly be back! Thanks Sally and Gavin!
