Knights' Retreat Napier
Thanks for hosting us when we visited Napier. A beautiful, well appointed, clean and tidy apartment with absolutely stunning views, the apartment had everything we needed and more. Very secure, safe and quiet and secure carpark too. Will happily rebook when we return to Napier.

Sun filled Ahururi apartment
Great place to stay, host was very approachable and helpful. Cheers Lloyd

Vue Apartment One
Amazing place to stay, return guests! Will aim to return every month now! The location is SUPERB right in the heart of Ahuriri. Shops and restaurants and cafes at your doorstep not to mention the beautiful beach out your front door! Alannah and Nait are fantastic hosts with stellar communication and attention to detail. Thanks so much you guys!

Shell's Beachfront BnB Apartment
This accommodation is perfect for a few days in Napier, if you have a car. It is situated right opposite the bay, and a short drive to the centre of town and has all the facilities you need. Shelley Is friendly, but not intrusive. The apartment is thoughtfully designed, clean and comfortable. We were sorry we couldn’t stay longer. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Spacious two bedroom apartment in heart of Ahuriri
Our group of four adults thoroughly enjoyed our time at Roz & Michael’s apartment in Ahuriri, Napier. The luxury apartment was huge, modern, spotlessly clean and appointed to a very high standard with quality furnishings, fittings, linens and towels. The bathrooms and pantry were well stocked. There was covered parking for two cars and lift access to the apartment making it easily to move luggage. The view was so spectacular we spent two of the afternoons, of our short time here, at the apartment so as to make the most of it. The hosts were easy to communicate with very helpful and I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone considering a visit to Napier.

The Bay Riveria
Kerry's place is v cool. A well appointed apartment with water views. Super comfy and had everything you need. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

On the Harbour
Robyn's place was perfect. Spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. We also loved the location. Close to good coffee and restaurants!

Seaside Sanctuary in Historic Art Deco Building
Thank you Sandhya for a wonderful stay - the extra little touches that completed the picture of a perfect BnB. We would totally book again when back in Napier and feel privileged to be able to have stayed in such a gorgeous place that was a perfect fit for Napier and all it offers.

Bridgwater BnB
Della is an outstanding host - warm, welcoming, and incredibly friendly from the moment we arrived. The accommodation was spotless and well-organised, with plenty of thoughtful supplies provided. One of the highlights of our stay was the washing machine, along with the generous amount of washing powder available - such a convenient touch. And of course, we absolutely loved meeting Billy the pup! He was a wonderful bonus, and our dog Midnight had the best time playing with him. We’d happily stay again!

The Esplanade Beachfront spacious house
Plenty of room. Beds all very comfortable. Bedroom at garden end could do with some space for clothes hanging/storage. Ideal place for a short stay right opposite a long beach.

Westshore Art Deco
As we were attending the Art Deco Festival, the home design was appropriate. We had an enjoyable stay in this well-appointed comfortable house, recommended as a pleasant place to stay'

Beachfront Bliss - stunning views & sunshine.
We absolutely loved the late-century family home right at the beach front. It was extremely peaceful and although the beach wasn’t safe for swimming it wasn’t too far to get to Waipatiki or the Napier town beaches. The views are absolutely stunning - day and night! The home is very specious and flooded with sunlight. Highly recommend to experience it yourself 🤗

Historic Homestead with stunning ocean views
We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful historic home, wonderful pool and many outdoor spaces with gorgeous views, being up on the bluff. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. Rick was nearby and responsive without being intrusive. He loves to share the interesting history of the home. I personally enjoyed playing the very nice grand piano. I also loved the high ceilings and big kitchen. The stove is amazing. The neighborhood is very residential and interesting to see. I’m so glad we discovered Rick and Judy’s home!

Beach Front on Ferguson
We had an amazing stay. The location right opposite the beach was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting out on the deck. The house was as described and I particularly like the living room - it was very cosy. Walking distance to some small shops, takeaway and a pub and only a short drive to Napier. Bron was great to deal with - highly recommend!

Black Cottage Boutique Accommodation
We had a really lovely 3 night stay at Black Cottage. Quality fixtures and fittings throughout with great attention to detail it was actually better than the photos! Easy walking distance to some fantastic eateries along a fairly busy road but pavements and crossing points along the way. Great and quick communication from Pete from day 1. Thanks so much

Executive Home by The Sea, 4 Bedrooms.
Perfect place to stay for our group of 3 couples and 2 kids. Plenty of space, unbelievably well equipped kitchen (a real boon for our foodie obsessed grou!), sparkling clean, across the road from the beach, and the rooftop spa was a bonus. As was the thoughtful welcome gift of wi e and choccies. Close to Napier and the rest if the Hawkes Bay. Thank you Hayley and Robert for sharing your lovely home with us. We had a great stay.
