We had a wonderful time at the Couch House. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and very comfortable. The bedrooms are spotlessly clean and spacious and the common areas are very pretty and highly functional. The location is great, we were on the top of a hill overlooking Napier and we could hear the waves at night. It's a very quiet neighborhood, but just a 15 minute (steep, but with beautiful views) walk from the city center. The host was very nice and was there for us in case we needed any help or advice.
