We had a FIRST-CLASS experience staying with Diane and Brian in the private, modern-built "sleep out" cottage behind their home. The location on Bluff Hill is perfect for exploring Napier and the Hawke's Bay region, and would also be ideal for non-tourists or those in Napier on business. The bed is large and comfortable, and better quality than in most hotels, and the kitchenette is perfect for preparing small meals and snacks. The en-suite bathroom (with large, powerful shower) was spotlessly clean, and a full array of unguents of all sorts was thoughtfully provided. The hosts are warm and friendly, and obviously enjoy welcoming visitors to their lovely town. If I was looking for a place to stay again in Napier I would return here in a heartbeat! After staying in a grotty Auckland Airport hotel I look back very fondly to our stay in Napier. Book now!
