Barbara was very welcoming with local nibbles stowed in the fridge to get us going. The unit has been restored to a high standard, extremely clean and comfortable, and has a great feel about it. The location is a 5 minute walk down to the town centre, but 10 minutes back (a bit of a steep walk but very manageable). While eating breakfast there is a great view over Napier. This is a unique historical experience of Napier and I strongly recommend staying with Barbara and Mark.
