The Coachhouse was homely and tastefully decorated. There is everything you need including washing powder and insect spray. There are two generously spaced outdoor areas which one looks out onto a beautifully well-loved garden. The house is on a rise in a quiet, safe and picturesque part of Napier. A 10min walk into town. The steep return climb home should be attempted with limited groceries in tow.
Having prior knowledge of the restricted wifi usage would have preempted us to download music etc beforehand.
The maps and guide pamphlets which included restaurant recommendations was useful and Jan came over in person to suggest a visitors highlight (Te Mata lookout near Hastings) which indeed proved to be a highlight. I would personally recommend Hunger Monger for its warm, quirky atmosphere for a dining option.
