Karyn's place is fantastic. You can't be quite prepared for the view (which is even better when you go upstairs for breakfast) or the unique feel of the place. I thought it was a real privilege to stay there. Karyn was very helpful with tips on what to do and helped us by ringing and booking us in for the "Gannet Safari" which for a bird lover like me was fantastic. We also really enjoyed the art deco walking tour of Napier and sitting at the bistros on the beach eating our dinner as the sun set.
