Immaculately clean, seems to be brand spanking new, bright and sunny, and double-glazed for cosiness and quietness. Friendly host. Lovely indoor-outdoor flow to outside furniture, through the lounge or master bedroom ranch sliders.
Well located - a 3 minute walk to the refreshing stony surf beach. House is nice and quiet (no noise at all coming from the rest of the house upstairs and off to the side) and with the double glazed windows shut, the distant traffic noise is blocked. So it’s very peaceful, and feels quite private.
Only recommendation would be that the fold out bed wasn’t super comfortable for our teen.
Other great things about this AirBnB include the well-equipped kitchenette which is conveniently off to the side of the welcoming living space, where a kitchen table & chairs were a great spot for meals and laptop work (another favourite thing was the soft new carpet underfoot, throughout). In addition, the host had provided several thoughtful welcoming breakfast touches.
I thoroughly recommend this beautiful self-contained space on the Westshore of Napier. The price we paid trough AirBnB was great value.
