Thanks - appreciate your feedback.
Thank you also for respecting our holiday home and leaving it nice and tidy,
We would love you back for any future visits to Napier.
NOTHING was overlooked in terms of preparing this excellent home for renters such as us. The place is spacious, had been nicely cleaned, and a note together with a fine bottle of wine were left as a welcome. We stayed two full weeks in this wonderfully modernized home and frankly hated to leave. BY FAR, this is the best vacation rental we have ever had.

Thanks for your lovely review - we hope you are continuing to enjoy your NZ road trip!!!
Fabulous and attentive hosts. Auld Reekie is situated in a great spot in Napier - close to the bustling centre of the city, close to supermarkets and fabulous restaurants as well. The house itself is well appointed with beautifully spacious, comfortable rooms with excellent beds as well. It really feels like a home away from home and is very quiet as well. Highly recommended for an extended stay.

Hi Jean-Marie - I see that Bookabach rejected your review - probably as you used our names which apparently doesn’t comply with their rules. We loved your feedback thanks, so I wondered if you wouldn’t mind changing “Paul snd Sally” to “the hosts” or similar ? Sorry to be a pain.
Kindest Regards.
