Yvonne and Steven were absolutely wonderful hosts, lovely to chat with, providing great local tips and a superb breakfast. However I don't think any words could do justice to this wonderful place - the historic house is absolutely stunning, in amazing condition and beautifully decorated. In addition it is just a few minutes of walking distance to the city centre.
To summarise, this was really an unexpected highlight of your New Zealand trip, I cannot possibly imagine a nicer place to stay in Napier.
