This property is all about location, from the elevation you get a great view of marine parade.
The living area is open and spacious, with a open kitchen, plenty of room to prep without getting on top of each other.
The unit is very open plan, flowing onto the bedrooms upstairs, if it was two couples sharing you would want to note the rooms have a divider but no doors and overlook the lounge area, which suited us fine. Beds were very comfortable.
The unit was exceptionally clean and tastefully decorated, with a splash of Art Décor to remind you that you are in Napier.
Car parking was available, garage block behind the unit, more suitable for a smaller vehicle as access was tight but great to have as it was noted most parking was metered.
There is plenty to do in Napier with or without a car, bike hire place just down the road, cycle to the local vineyards, along the waterfront, visit the local shops.
Dining locally you are spoilt for choice, standout is restaurant Bristronomy's degustation menu, for a Ethnic experience the Indonesian restaurant on Marine Prd was also excellent.
The winery restaurants are also very good, Crab Farm, casual but great food, Mission Estate beautiful vista looking back over Napier - but book ahead, while NZ may not have international tourists at present the local eateries were being well patronized !
The Sunday Market at the A&P show grounds in Hastings was another must do with plenty of seasonal local produce, we came back through Havelock North which had a number of boutique fashion and homeware shops worth a visit.
And of course there is the wines, this trip we tasted 7 wineries, the Hawkes Bay Standard matches any region in NZ with some new "nock out" varietals emerging .
