'The Phoenix on Miller' Modern loft style
Unwind in this beautiful former and fully renovated pottery shop ('Phoenix Pottery') in Otane village - 25 minutes from Hastings, 40 minutes from Napier and only 30-40 minutes from the most beautiful beaches in Hawkes Bay (Kairakau, Aramoana and Pourerere).
Our place is fully self-contained. The beautiful original cobble stone floors, high ceilings with its rafters, French doors and modern interior create a light and warm loft-style feeling.
The guesthouse shares 1.5 acre of gardens with the main 1920's house (with a sunny patio/shared space in between). Both houses are in front of each other but still very private. Big main bedroom, very spacious bathroom (with full laundry), open space with a modern kitchen and lounge (with heat pump).
The guest house has on-site/secure parking and entrance. We have our own dogs wandering the property/across the fence (they are lovely and most of the time wanting to know new people). Please if you are terrified of dogs, there might be a more suitable place for you. All kitchen amenities included Complementary milk, coffee, tea, sugar. Ideal for families who are looking for a quiet place. TV in the lounge with Netflix. No cleaning fees (bonus!).
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking.

Very cosy and quiet place. Awesome hosts, they both were very accomodating in our time of need. Would definitely recommend this little place. It was a home away from home for us.
