About this property

Lovely self contained studio

Welcome to Napier Baywatch Homestay.
We have a very comfortable and sunny self contained garden unit with Queen size bed and ensuite. Sky tv, internet access with own computer, tea and coffee facilities and small kitchenette with fridge and microwave.
The unit is in our garden but it is separate from our home to ensure your privacy. However, we are available for any local information or recommendations. Off street parking.
We are only a 10 minute walk to Ahuriri with all its restaurants and bars, and about 15 minutes into Napier City for some great shopping and Art Deco attractions. If you don't fancy walking back up the hill a taxi is about $10. It is a 5 min walk to the Botanical gardens and historical cemetery. We are also just a short drive (20mins) from the many wineries in the region. Further afield (40 mins) are the beautiful beaches of Waimarama and Ocean Beach. Or why not hire some bikes and explore some of the 180kms of cycle ways.

Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);

A very comfortable studio
We had a warm welcome from Trevor and he was very helpful with information about the locality. In addition there was a lot of printed information about pretty much everything that one might want to do. We stayed for 3 nights, very comfortably. A very relaxing environment and a very friendly duo of cats. There was a small hiccup with wifi but this was resolved within 24 h and all is now working very well. Thank you Trevor for your hospitality! .

Only one comment - the bathroom door didn't close properly. Otherwise, a beautiful location to stay- amazing views. Very handy to cafes/restaurants etc. Property owners very friendly, made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. A very private, quiet get away.
