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);

Napier weekend

Trevor and Ann are great hosts and provided useful maps and information. The room is spacious and very comfortable and the outdoor space has lovely views. Great location is a stones throw to the Botanic Gardens and we were able to walk down to Ahuriri.

Spacious unit.

This was a sunny property with great views. Clean and well equipped. We found the stairs up hill to the property challenging but we are in our 80's. The hosts were super friendly and helpful.

A warm welcome and great views

This is a really lovely property with great views of the sea on two sides, and was perfect for our long weekend. It's a short but steep walk to town/bar areas, or a short taxi ride. The houe feels airy and spacious, and the facilities were great (bed/shower/kitchen area - although only a microwave so limiting if you want to self cater). It's close enough to the family home that help was always on hand if necessary, but being a bit higher up made it feel private, including the balcony. The hosts were really friendly, especially the cat!

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! .
