Phil's place is wonderfully set up for a family stay in Napier. It's very private, well laid out, and the beds are excellent - I slept better than I do at home. It's also very close to Napier's restaurants and shops, with marine parade and Tennyson Street in easy walking distance.
The outdoor spaces allowed us to take full advantage of the favourable weather. This was an unexpected time of year to be getting a tan!
The wine fridge in the kitchen was an extra bonus, keeping our local buys at a suitable temperature until it was time to get them home.
