Lovely place to stay

Thanks for your hospitality - this was a well equipped and very comfortable place that had everything we needed as well as two friendly dogs. Pretty glad we had a car with us though, as it's up a fairly steep hill!

Very comfortable mini-house

Very comfortably furnished, quiet and well appointed with everything you need. The walk to town is a bit far and steep, but with a car it's fine. The two doggies were great as well, really made us feel very much at home :-)

A great base for our visit to Napier and family wedding.

We really liked the flexablity of the sleeping arrangements. The kitchen facilities were great and generous, the decore was lovely in an eclectic way. We enjoyed visits from the cat and the dog who were very polite. Seamless check in and check out. All around just what we needed.

The bowl of fruit and freshly made smoothie in the fridge were a nice welcoming additional touch. The place was in a quite spot with a lovely garden. Did not see the hosts at all even though their home is attached to the accommodation. The pets were well behaved, friendly and quiet. I found the couch to be a bit firm for my liking, but it was still a comfy space and we slept well in yhe upstairs bed room.

Little Gem

I booked this B & B for friends from Australia. Victoria was very welcoming and everything within the unit comfortable for my two girl friends. Stairs within wide and negotiable Easy access to unit - road up bit of an adventure. Peaceful and quiet.

Short getaway stay

Nice and quiet. The only downside is the hard mattres. Would have been perfect if there was an extra foam layer on mattress to make bed more comfortable.

Great place, well stocked with everything you need

We totally enjoyed our stay, lovely owners who give you great support. Everything very clean and tidy. Excellent hot water pressure, so enjoyed our lovely hot showers. Weather while in Napier was everything from wet and cold to showery and still cold but the unit was cosy warm.

Very nice hosts and property.

Highly recommended accommodation. Clean and tidy with everything you need including a washing machine. Very nice people as hosts. Thanks for the nice fruit bowl and the quince jam. We didn’t see Pumba before we left but give him a pat from us. Thanks Victoria. Steve and Gemma.

We felt it was not suitable for elderly people as no handrail up the stairs.

Owners very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay but both of us tripped on more than one occasion up the small step between kitchen and bathroom.
