Brokers Comments

The Village Motel is ideally situated in the heart of the Village of Havelock North. It is the first Motel in from the South and so ideal for passing trade and occupancies are good from all market segments of the travelling community. The units are very nicely decorated and refurbished and very spaceous. It is no wonder corporate guests like this motel.

The current owners have a great selection of reservations links with more coming on line all of the time. This interest in the systems of reservations is having good effect on the business. Occupancies and business in general is good and well worth looking into for those that are wanting to be kept busy and part of a bustling village community. A site inspection of this property will show you all of the positives at this facility.

FEATURES

Havelock North

Havelock North is located on the picturesque Heretaunga plains within Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. For international visitors we would expect that you would initially fly into Auckland and then take a connecting flight to the Hawke's Bay Airport situated in Napier. Havelock North is within an easy 30 minute commuting time from the Airport.

For those visitors intending to visit Havelock North by vehicle, Havelock North is about five hours drive south of Auckland, or if travelling from Wellington approximately three hours north. All routes to Havelock North are high quality State Highways, and offer stunning views of the Hawke's Bay countryside

Havelock North Village basks in the sun and leafy boulevards beneath Te Mata Peak.

In 1906, the writer charged with providing a sub chapter to the Hawke's Bay section of the New Zealand Encyclopedia wrote that "Havelock North is a pretty little country township," declaring that it lay "on the lower slopes of a range of high hills," and that it was quite probably the healthiest township in the region.

"It has a splendid, bracing climate and has excellent drainage and an abundance of water from artesian and limestone wells."

At that time fruit growing and agriculture were well established throughout the area - the first sections having been auctioned in 1860, with the imminent settlement being named after Sir Henry Havelock, a hero of the Indian mutiny campaign.

Commerce quickly spread, as did small blocks of private vineyards ...From the turn of the century and throughout the following decades it attracted a growing reputation as quite simply a very pleasant place to be.

Today it is called lifestyle ... or quality of life. Whatever it is called, the gentility, the comfortable blend of old England and of rural New Zealand, plus a dash of cosmopolitan European flair and colour, has made Havelock North a fresh and pleasant oasis. Progress has seen the "pretty little township" expand into an ever prettier, colourful and vibrant community.

Havelock North is one of those rare places where you can set your own pace. It possesses a natural, tree lined rural calm, yet can provide a social effervescence when the working day is over and the lights in places like Diva and the Rose and Shamrock begin to glow.

The village's history is as colourful as its appearance today, and as you head south on Napier Road a spectacular, and quite regal sight unfolds. Studded into the "lower slopes of the high hills," are gracious homes with panoramic views from the Pacific Ocean across to the distant Kaweka Ranges. Included are the grand homes of families whose generations have strong links with Havelock North. The Chambers, the Nelsons and the Richmonds.
