Don't often leave reviews but this place was so good that it would be unfair on Esther and Tom (the owners/hosts) to not do so. They are trying to do things very nicely and they certainly did. Lovely rooms, excellent home baked cake on arrival and very generous with drinks/canapes. A wonderful find and would thoroughly recommend.

Excellent place to stay, so welcoming, drinks and nibbles at 17.00 every evening where you can chat with other guests and the owners, Esther and Tom. Bedroom had everything we needed and wonderfully decorated. Great choice at breakfast all freshly prepared by Esther. This is THE place to stay in Napier.

We were booked in by our tour agent. Lovely welcome from Esther and Tom. Beautiful room with a view over the bay. We were invited by them for a glass of wine on their patio. The rooms were well decorated and the bathroom was well done. The real gem was Esther’s home made goodies. All the jams, cakes, cookies and preserved fruits were made by her. Breakfast was wonderful and, again, home made muffins and scones were offered. Short walk into town, so no need to drive. Very happy with our stay there.

Immerse yourself in the impeccably renovated and lovingly restored period house on Marine Parade. Esther and Tom have created a sublimely welcoming home away from home bed and breakfast where no stone was left unturned. From the fine bed and bath linens to the towel warmer to the home made curated daily tea cakes and banquet style breakfasts. You will want for nothing whilst being transferred back to a more genteel time of relaxing conversation with your hosts and other guests and relish in the time honored and valued traditions of fine living of a bygone era. The nightly evening turn down service w/chocolates accompanied by the silver tray of port wine was priceless. And all this a mere stones throw from the most exquisite historically preserved Deco town I can recall peppered w/wonderful restaurant choices. A most memorable visit!

A more welcoming luxurious bed and breakfast accommodation in Napier will not be found anywhere in my opinion. Our bedroom was spacious, the mattresses comfortable and breakfasts delicious. Esther and Tom generously catered for all our requirements plus extra delights. I cannot recommend this BabdB enough. Thank you. Annie and Trace

Thank you, Esther and Tom, for a truly delightful stay--and Esther's delicious breakfasts! And also for the excellent ebikes. We loved our stay in Napier, and having such a lovely home base made it even better--a wonderful start to the new year.
