Very clean and lovely cottage with everything you need. Delia thoughtfully provided yogurt, milk, biscuits and homemade muslie and fresh fruits. Really central spot to town. We thoroughly enjoy our stay. On site parking which was great.

Delia was a lovely host, going the extra mile to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. An easy walk to town, and a small but perfectly formed place to stay…

Great place to stay

We stayed with our small dog and it was very pet friendly and so close to the town. We walked into town for a coffee every morning. Will be trying to stay here again when we come to Napier. Very, very comfortable.

I would highly recommend a visit to Didi’s Place. Next time we are visiting Ahuriri I really hope the stunning cottage is available. It’s so good not having to rely on a car as everything is within walking distance.
