Why choose DaffoDownDilly Cottage?

The cottage is central to many of Hawke's Bay's wonderful tourist attractions (see What Else) - and the bay weather is legendary! Long warm summers (those long sunny days) with spicey winters - crisp clear days and cool nights.

The cottage is comfortably and stylishly furnished and set in a beautiful ambling garden with expansive views over Hawke's Bay and the Heretaunga Plains.

Enjoy walks in the garden and pine woods accompanied by tui and bellbird (New Zealand native species).

An idyllic getaway, a place to chill out completely!

Your hosts, Erika and Maurice Menneer, will do everything they can to make your visit as comfortable as possible.

Think of a weekend when you are free, or there is an event on in Hawkes Bay such as Art Deco weekend, The Long Lunch, award winning wineries and summer concerts, Horse of the Year, your birthday! ... and check availabiity now ... click here
