Nice house near downtown and the beach, and a short drive to wineries. Very nice, fully-equipped kitched and comfortable living room. It is, however, on a busy street so we did get some traffic noise.

Weekend away

A nicely furnished and well equipped villa not far from the centre. Very handy for our son’s cricket at Nelson Park as it just a couple of minutes walk. We really enjoyed our stay.

Splendid stay in Napier

The place is much better that the photos appear. It was a beautifully furnished house in a very central location with great amenities. Our group had a wonderful stay after our new years trip. Also perfect location for Napier wine tasting.

Superb location for exploring the Napier area.

Quaint, charming character home… loved the diverse vegetation, both inside and outside. Next door to the stadium for events, close to the downtown core, easy access to the local wineries, the cycle trails and treks. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and the host was great with communications, providing suggestions well in advance of our arrival.

Perfect spot for grandparents, parents and two kids

Spent 4 nights at this Bach with our daughter, her partner and two grandkids (6 and 2) on 1st visit to Napier area. Location was very convenient (right by cricket stadium but that was no issue). Very walkable, Close to stores, coffee, wonderful bakery. Incredibly comfortable interior, beautifully appointed, great kitchen, comfy beds, nice bathrooms and a garden that was stunning. I would stay here again for sure.

Gorgeous villa in a handy city location

A beautiful home with plenty of space for our extended family group of 4 adults and 2 children. Great communication with the owner and thoughtful touches of wine and bouquets of flowers left for us! Right next to McLean park so walking distance into the city. Really comfortable place to stay and would highly recommend!

We very much liked the characterful house and especially the plants and the garden. The owner, Tess, is very trusting to allow strangers like us to stay because there are a lot of personal items throughout the house. It’s great to have walkable access to central Napier and the sea front, and the local coffee shops and corner store. Pity about traffic noise from busy Latham street: this is why we rate the house 4star rather than 5star.
