Welcome to Napier Baywatch Homestay. We have a very comfortable and sunny self contained garden unit with Queen size bed and ensuite. Sky tv, internet access with own computer, tea and coffee facilities and small kitchenette with fridge and microwave. The unit is in our garden but it is separate from our home to ensure your privacy. However, we are available for any local information or recommendations. Off street parking. We are only a 10 minute walk to Ahuriri with all its restaurants and bars, and about 15 minutes into Napier City for some great shopping and Art Deco attractions. If you don't fancy walking back up the hill a taxi is about $10. It is a 5 min walk to the Botanical gardens and historical cemetery. We are also just a short drive (20mins) from the many wineries in the region. Further afield (40 mins) are the beautiful beaches of Waimarama and Ocean Beach. Or why not hire some bikes and explore some of the 180kms of cycle ways.

Vance and his wife stayed with us for 2 nights over Queens Birthday weekend 2020 and were the first "post covid" guests we have had. They were very independent and self sufficient. Nice to talk to and they left the Studio Unit in great shape - hardly looked like they had stayed with us! We would welcome them back anytime and recommend them to future hosts.
