Julie-Anne’s place is an extremely comfortable place to explore everything Napier and Hawke’s Bay has on offer. It’s an easy walk to town and the coastline, and it’s a short drive to several spectacular wineries and a wonderful farmers market in Hastings. We were welcomed with great local tips and a tin of delicious brownies, breakfast goodies, and fruit fresh off the trees outside. Being in the house felt completely private, but Julie-Anne was commutative and available for any questions. If you want an easy, casual lodging experience while exploring this wonderful region, Julie-Anne’s place is a great choice.
