Excellent place and great hosts!
The place: modern, a lot more spacious than expected and everything about it feels brand new. It was exceptionally clean! The beds are really comfortable and the linen and pillows cozy and of a good quality. Blackout blinds in the bedrooms such a plus! Visited in winter, very effective heating throughout house. The kitchen is well appointed although note there is no oven (but there is a hot plate and microwave). A huge bonus is the milk, cereal, fresh fruit, and wine all waiting on arrival! Lifesaver!
The location : being right in Ahuriri is a huge plus, it's such a nice area. Two minutes walk away is the beach, a big playground, and the Ahuriri village with it's multiple places to get coffee, eat, and boutique stores to wander around. Also some great walking /cycling tracks nearby, wide and well paved with beautiful scenary and architecture to enjoy. Additionally to get to the town centre of Napier and all it's attractions is only 5-10 mins by car.
The hosts : great communication, super friendly, accommodating and helpful - couldn't do enough for us! 10/10
