It's no exaggeration to say this has been the best Airbnb experience we have ever had and also that it's one of the best places we have ever stayed. We stayed for 4 nights with our family of four and the last night a friend stayed as well. It had loads more room than we needed but we wanted a bit of a treat towards the end of our north island tour.
Phil and Nicky contacted us a couple of times as the date approached checking if we needed anything. They met us at the property and were genuinely really interested in us and our trip and gave us a detailed list of places to go and things to do after we explained what we were in to. such a friendly couple. They also left us a cray they had caught that morning and it was delicious. The pantry was enourmous and well stocked with local produce as was the fridge and every evening we picked our day's salad and fruit from the huge veggie patch.
Days were spent visiting wineries, the local farmer's market, cycling around Napier, swimming in the river below the property and general exploring. Evenings were spent playing pool and table tennis in the games room and eating fantastic local produce whilst taking in the 180 degree views of the stunning river valley.
Quite simply, the property was just perfect, quirky, clean, fun, beautifully located and owned and managed by a lovely couple. What more can anyone want than that?
