The location and shops nearby was great. Gary couldn't have been a better host.

Amazing Art Deco furnishings and artefacts, so beautifully and lovingly put together! Laurie is a wonderful host, source of most interesting local info, nothing is too much trouble. Huge bowl of fruit and other goodies (cookies, milk, specialty coffees & other drinks) for us on arrival and everything was so very comfortable- the bed linen was superb! Wish we could have stayed longer! 😄

Just A maz ING !!! What a treat to stay. A wonderful welcoming place in the centre of Napier. Close by the sea, the beach, the beautiful boulevard, the restaurants and the shops. It immediately felt like home. Esther and Tom are the most lovely hosts, you’ll may experience. Nothing is too much trouble, just perfect in every way. Esther has amazing home cooking and fresh baking available for the mornings and afternoon. They are also full of local knowledge and trivia, if you need any recommendation for visiting places in the area. The house and the rooms are spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Fantastic bathrooms with walk-in shower, heated floors and luxurious toiletries. So many lovely things are presented, like homemade cakes or cookies when you arrive back at home in the afternoon. Freshly made, fruit salads, cakes, jams, and bread in the morning with the choice of either cooked or continental breakfast. Drinking tea or wine in the afternoon with all sorts of freshly made nibbles. Port and chocolates at bedtime. We’ve stayed at many 5 star accomodations in the world , but this place is so much more…… Words fail us; you have to see and experience it for yourself! Therefore, we would encourage anyone visiting Napier in New Zealand to treat themselves to this quintessential experience. Our stay at this luxury accomodation, 415 Marine Parade was definitely one of the most memorable stays of our holiday in New Zealand. It was sad to move on, but we will definitely return to this place when we return to NZ. Esther and Tom, thank you for your generous hospitality. XXX R&B

Absolutely amazing apartment - wish I lived there! It’s very central to shops,restaurant, the sea shore. The decor was tasteful, there was lots of space, super comfy couches, spotlessly clean and well stocked.

The food was phenomenal, the hospitality was warm and gracious, and the view was otherworldly. It has to be in the top 3 places we've ever stayed. You can tell they are hospitality veterans at this point, and we really couldn't be more impressed.

Kitty was very welcoming and generous with her time. Breakfast was great. Good food and company, very convivial. The garden attracts native birds and we saw a Kaka and Tui. An interesting walk from the house to Bluff Hill lookout and to view Napier port activities, which we found fascinating. Then a walk to lovely Napier and a look at the beautiful Art Deco buildings. Our favourite stay and favourite town in NZ, so far, will take a lot to beat. Thank you Kitty!
