Kath and Brent are brilliant hosts, who ensured we had an amazing stay in their beautiful, spacious and stylish home. Although it was just the two of us, we really appreciated the fact that the entire ground floor was available to us. In addition, Kath and Brent welcomed us in to their stunning kitchen for breakfast and to prepare our evening meals. We loved the fact that this also gave us the opportunity to chat together. (Ask Kath about her involvement in LOTR!) The house is situated high above the city and affords glorious views across the bay towards the hills beyond. Parking on the seafront in Napier doesn't appear to be a problem, but if you enjoy walking, leave the car in the drive and stroll down instead through the Botanical Gardens to enjoy the Art Deco beauty of the city.
