What a gem. The three of us so enjoyed our two night stay in Karyn's apartment over the weekend. It's located in a very scenic hillside neighborhood in central Napier. The apartment was light, airy, and spacious with gorgeous views of the bay from the room. (More light, space and views than the photos reveal.) We loved enjoying a pre-dinner wine at our little table in the garden facing the sea. The location on Bluff Hill was perfect for us because it falls between the downtown shopping district as well as the marina with its restaurants and beaches, so it was a fast drive or 20 minute walk to either, and we did both. Karyn and John are both gracious and charming hosts. They hit the balance between making you feel welcome and giving you your space perfectly. We enjoyed the morning coffee and breakfast, and the house was stunning. We wished for a special place to stay on our weekend, and found it here.
