Staying with Debbie & Malcolm was like staying with a wonderful aunt & uncle! The Bellbird studio is sunny, private and quiet. The little kitchen and bath are both equipped with all your basic needs and the included breakfast treats were wonderful. So many options of fresh fruit, coffee & tea, muesli and other bits to start your day off right. The bed is just firm enough, with the addition of electric blankets for chilly evenings. The whole studio is bathed in soothing shades of blue.

They went above and beyond host duties to make me feel welcome, comfortable and well fed. Debbie is an excellent cook! She even helped to drive me to and from the acupuncture clinic down the hill when I hurt my back. She also taught me how to make two beloved New Zealand treats: hokey pokey & pavlova. That was an amazing afternoon I'll never forget! Overall, a stay in beautiful Napier that I'll never forget! You absolutely must stay in the Bellbird Studio with Debbie & Malcolm!
