Never having visited Napier, I wasn't sure of the ideal location. I wanted something within easy walking distance to the CBD. This place sounded small but funky, and the price was great, so decided to take a chance on it. Upon arrival I wasn't sure what we'd gotten into. The cottage itself is located behind a long black fence, but once we passed through the green gate, we found a very private courtyard and our little "casita". The place is small, but had everything we needed for two people. A 2-burner glass cooktop, microwave, small (but not tiny) fridge & freezer, sufficient dishes, and a nice assortment of pans and utensils. Nice shower, with good pressure and plenty of hot water! Comfy bed. Wifi for both of our devices. It was the perfect spot for my husband and me. The neighborhood has several nice restaurants and West Quay, where more restaurants are lined against the bay, is just a few minutes walk across the bridge. Napier city centre is about a 35 minute walk, or there is a bus stop within 2 blocks. We felt safe in this neighborhood and Kim was a very gracious host - making sure we had everything we needed, yet respecting our privacy.
