A tree-lined no-exit road, surrounded by orchards

Dewdrop sits on Morley Road on the Napier side of Hastings. The land here is exceptionally fertile, so orchards and crops fill the view in every direction. Your closest neighbours are two horses, two sheep, a small pony and a goat.

Sit on the deck overlooking the pool and paddocks, with the orchard beyond and the seasons changing in front of you: apple blossom in spring, fruit ripening late summer, and spectacular autumn colour along Morley Road.

Yet you are five minutes from central Hastings, close to the Regional Sports Park, wineries, the Farmers’ Market, cycleways and Splash Planet, and twelve minutes from Te Mata Peak. Both homes were fully renovated after Cyclone Gabrielle. Read our story.
