This charming, victorian home is a wonderful retreat by the sea. Nice view; the beach and main area of Napier are within easy walking distance. Catherine is a gracious host who understands the perfect balance between being available, when needed, and also respecting your privacy. We had the ensuite bedroom, plus the entire 2nd floor to ourselves (since we were... More

When Catherine, one of the hosts, greets you at the door, you feel like you have arrived at your best friends house. Her energy and charisma fill the house and you feel at ease immediately. The rooms are spacious and well appointed and we had the advantage of having the entire place to ourselves. The walk to town is easy... More

This was our second visit to Napier which we enjoyed just as much as the first. Previously we had stayed a bit further out of the town but really liked the fact that this B&B is so close to the centre. Catherine is a very charming host with lots of helpful information. We had the only bedroom with en-suite, which... More

We have stayed here three times now and would't stay anywhere else in napier. Each time we've stayed we have booked the largest double, which has beautiful seaviews but it is still very reasonably priced. The whole property is lovely. The first time we stayed Neil was our host, and the second two times it has been Catherine one of... More

Had a wonderful 2 night break. Catherine and Evert are so friendly and incredibly helpful without being overbearing. From booking our wine tour with vinny (excellent), dropping us off as mission winery for a lovely dinner and putting us in touch with a local mechanic! Our room was very elegant and had lovely views and a huge comfy bed. Living... More

My husband and I stayed here while visiting Napier - the accommodations were great - we were upstairs, and the living room area adjacent to our room made it feel like we had our own apartment - with lovely views from the balcony. Our hosts Catherine and Evert were gracious and accommodating (they even picked us up from the airport,... More

We stayed here in February. Lovely, light, large room looking over the main road onto the sea. Very quiet despite the road (and I'm a light sleeper). Lovely breakfast in another large, light room downstairs. The owner, Catherine, is energetic, friendly and helpful (she even turned our car round for us in their narrow street!). It's just a few minutes'... More

From the moment we phoned to the time we left we felt special. We were warmly welcomed and offered practical and useful information without being overwhelmed. Our host was friendly and interested in us. She did everything possible to make our stay relevant and enjoyable. The accommodation was spacious and tastefully decorated to a very high standard. The breakfast served... More

We arrived fairly early in the afternoon from Taupo, and were warmly welcomed by Catherine. We stayed two nights but were the only guests the first night, and had the entire upper floor to ourselves. It's a home with real character, having been built over 100 years ago but survived the 1931 quake and has since been lovingly restored. It... More
