I spent 3 nights with Dianne & Keith and thoroughly enjoyed my stay with them. Both were prepared to spend time to point out local points of interest which are never shown in the brochures. They were happy to discuss their experience of life in NZ which I found interesting coming from the UK.

We had been unable to get accommodation in Hastings and so ended up at Keith and Diane's place, Grandvue Country Stay. We originally booked for one night and Diane told us there was so much to do in the area so we booked another night. We loved the area and there certainly is a lot to do. The Art Deco... More

Our hosts were a fountain of fascinating information about New Zealand, explaining things that puzzled us and steering us toward activities and restaurants we would never have found in a guide book. The room was better than a motel room. Great breakfasts.... More

We decided to book the Grandvue Country Stay due to its close proximity to 'On Yer Bikes' tour of the local vineyards on bicycles. Our stay in Hastings and tour of the vineyards was one of the highlights of our North Island road trip. Dianne and Keith were lovely hosts. They helped us out with directions on the way and... More
