The Airbnb description was perfectly accurate and the property is just like the photos. In fact it’s even better looking in real life. The property was beautifully designed with beautiful furniture and luxurious soft furnishings; and immaculately clean.
It was equipped with good free wi-fi and came with food and drink provisions, plenty of towels, and nice additional touches like heated towel rails, electric blankets and dressing gowns.
The hosts lived downstairs and were there if we needed them but respected our privacy. Unfortunately we stayed during Cyclone Gabrielle and the whole town of Napier lost power and internet. Obviously this wasn’t the hosts’ fault. Even so they showed enormous kindness and generosity lending us a camping stove and candle.
Thank you so much Lynne and Steve for making our stay the best it could be in difficult circumstances. You are awesome hosts, thank you 😊
