Millard Wirihana Family holiday

Our home away from home was a serene oasis, radiating warmth and welcome. It exceeded all our expectations and more. With ample space, for our family of seven. The coffee machine was a lovely addition! We felt very at home. Thank you from us

Amazing stay

We loved our stay here! We spent the night before and night of our wedding here with our friends and had the most special time. The house and yard were spectacular. The boys stayed here the evening before and they were at the wedding raving about the backyard and the games they got to play all morning. Big, beautiful house. Can’t fault it! Great location, very clean.

The house was perfect for us, with three generations of family in Napier for a family wedding. The modernisations are excellent while the character of the house is retained. The house is fantastically appointed with everything needed plus more. Would thoroughly recommend this property and the owners, we will definitely stay here again.

A Real Family Holiday

We could not fault this beautiful property. In fact it was more than we expected and if we are ever in Napier again, we will attempt to book in again. Our intention of having a 'real family holiday' was achieved by this property feeling like a home and the owners' willingness to share everything with us.

Classic character and modern facilities

This gracious house is sited on a good size suburban block in an appealing street, close to town.Communicating with the owner was a pleasurable experience.Rooms were a generous size, uncluttered and well decorated. There was space to spread out and for a range of recreational pursuits.Pantry provisions were excellent and cooking equipment was exceptional.One member of our party found the allocated bed too soft but thought the ensuite shower outstanding.The separate studio bedroom was much appreciated and would be perfect for all ages if it had an attached toilet.The information dossier was very helpful, particularly for shopping and eating out.Three generations had a very happy holiday in this house.Pantry provisions ,
