Tim is a great host, who is easy to contact and was very helpful in locating local activities. His place is clean and comfortable, and very well equipped. We could have cooked anything in his kitchen and he even allowed us to do our laundry as we were sleeping on campsites previously. He has a lovely dog who is very well behaved, so we were allowed to take her on a walk which was pure fun for the three of us. The location is best accessed by car, but there are plenty of things to see and do in the area, altough if you wanted to see the city of Napier you ought to have a car. Parking was on the curb. Neighbourhood was friendly and quiet, I did not, for a minute think that the car was in any danger of breaking into.
Altogether great place, 9.99/10, would recommend!
