Great price for this location

Very handy location, close to beach and city as described. Great communication, except was surprised to be given a wrong number address (not too far from the actual house). Generally clean, would prefer to have firmer mattress. A bit noisy neighbour (could be duto time of the year(

Disappointing

This could be a great place with a little bit more care. A nice old little house turns decrepit because of lack of maintain. A fridge that never stops working is really to old…Some efficiency in managing this house would turn it to a little paradise.

Lovely cottage on Bluff Hill

We loved this place, located in a gully on Bluff Hill. It's a good basic Kiwi bach, with all the fundamentals covered, and a lovely green outlook and lots of birdsong. A decent budget option in Napier.

About the host

Hosted by Ellinore Kuklinski

We are a family of 4 (mum, dad and 2 school age boys). I am a part time teacher, part time mum and my husband is a gardener. We live in rural Central Hawkes Bay. I grew up in Hastings and have always loved visiting Napier, my husband is from Taranaki and came here for the better climate!!

Why they chose this property

Whilst our children were pre-schoolers we often went for day trips to Ahuriri to enjoy a day out. We decided to invest in a little bach there as a weekend getaway for our family. We love to bike, walk, shop, eat and attend family friendly events in and around Napier.

What makes this property unique

It is child-friendly, with an enclosed back yard and basic furnishings. It is just over 100 years old, a little fisherman's cottage - a slice of Napier's history. We love that it has everything we need for a little getaway and is close to everything to do with Napier.
