CView, owned and operated by the gracious and warm Gill Bass, is located in a private residential area in the hills overlooking Hawke's Bay. It is spacious, beautifully, thoughtfully and comfortably furnished and equipped. Gill ensured we had everything we needed- delicious, organic coffee and eggs; gentle toiletries, luxurious towels, and a thorough list of places to see and things to do. Once greeted with a glass of wine and beer and shown the ropes, we settled in for a relaxing and retreat-like bliss-out! Three friendly donkeys and the occasional bird and bunny kept us company whenever we sat on the deck, gazing at us from over the unobtrusive fence. We bought carrots on day 2 and fed them; that was a different experience for us city - dwellers! All in all, loved CView, loved Gill and loved Napier. if you really like food, do try the 9 course tasting menu at Bistronomy for$100. The chef is James Beck from The Fat Duck and his dishes are original, fresh and entirely pleasing. Great staff and vibe! For another great meal check out Indigo,next door to Bistronomy. An Indian restaurant to rival the revered Vij's in Vancouver, and for us Canucks, that's saying something out loud! Enjoy! We enjoyed all of it- thanks so much Gill!
