Awesome property

We loved our stay. It was perfect for a family. Plenty of space for all. A great kitchen and facilities for meals and evenings. The location was central, allowing easy navigation around the venues we needed to be at throughout the Bay. We found the beds a bit hard for our liking but that’s just a personal choice. Thank you for a great few days at your delightful property.

Art Deco Tour of Napier

A lovely modern home, well presented and cared for. Great living space and spacial bedrooms. Great outdoor areas for relaxation. It was a little further from town than I expected about an hours walk to the centre of town. I guess it depends on what your definition of close to town is.

Very Comfortable & Spacious.

We (three women) had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at this lovely property. It has a generous open-plan living area with a kitchen that has a walk-in butler’s pantry that is stocked with all manner of things. Bedrooms are a good size with very comfortable beds. Unfortunately we didn’t have the weather for it but there is a great outdoor area to sit and soak up the sun. Napier’s fabulous city centre is only a few minutes’ drive away and I would say you couldn’t go wrong using Te Awa as your base of operations!

Spacious rooms and lots of accessories.

Very comfortable and good, central, easy to find location. Very spacious rooms and bathrooms. A little strange the amount of owner/previous tenant toiletries and dried out soaps in showers. Very quiet and easy access and departure instructions.

Lovely property and area

The house is lovely and in a great location for a family, a nice quite cul-de-sac with playground and walk around a marsh close by. It had everything we needed, with the only issue being the standard of cleaning - the property would really benefit from a deep clean.

とても閑静な住宅街の一軒家で快適に生活出来ました。問題はルーズな面。友人の部屋のベッドは私達の前のゲストが寝た後がくっきりシーツや枕に残っていて臭いもついてた。どこまでクリーニングしているのか疑問。 2泊しかしていなく、綺麗に使っていたのに、出てから、窓が壊れてたとか請求するとか、、オーナーさんは多分殆ど、この家を使っていなくてお向かいさんやクリーニング業者が留守を預かっているような感じでしたが、日本人だから言いがかりをつけたらお金払ってくれるんじゃないか？っていうのがミエミエで、、個人の一軒家を借りるのはリスクも高いと思いました。オーストラリアでは管理会社が管理、クリーニングをしていたので安心でしたが、、、。これからはオーナーから鍵の件は連絡、、っていう宿泊施設は危険だなと思いました。

Great House for a Stay in Napier

We loved our stay in Napier for the Art Deco Festival. We were far enough out of town for quiet, but close enough to drive into the town center for festivities. Wonderful house with great amenities.

Enjoyed our stay...

We liked the property and enjoyed our stay. It was as per the photos and online description. It is well maintained, and has a beautiful outdoor sitting area. The locality was quiet. I texted Greg for some clarification and he responded though he was out of the country. Just a minor things to mention - there were used soaps (with hairs) in the bathrooms. Garage has 2 parked cars and lots of boxes, which reduces mobility in the garage especially for laundry. The owner has his own stuff locked in half wardrobes (bedrooms), and master bedroom's walk-in wardrobe was locked but that does not affect our stay. There was still enough space. However, the listing could mention about those areas which are not available, as we thought we were booking the entire house.

About the host

Hosted by Greg Church

Host profile image
Single ex South African, semi-retired construction project manager, working on projects in Auckland and occasional travel to grandchildren in Australia. I enjoy my wine and African art, which is dotted around the house.

Why they chose this property

This is a new subdivision with well maintained properties and flat area to be able to ride bicycles in. Being a cul-de-sac, we do not get a lot of traffic and security is upheld by friendly neighbours. There is a new community play ground close by within a short walking distance and close to the lake

What makes this property unique

Close to all amenities and entertainment. Ideal location for concerts at Mission and Church Road, Art Deco week, Wine sales, etc. Not too far from the pebbly beach and walks along the shore.
Maintained by a professional cleaner who takes pride in her work. We have had a few learning hiccups, but are always willing to learn and make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
Lawns are kept tidy by a contractor and there is an automatic sprinkler which comes on for 1 hour, 3 days a week.
The entertaining area faces North and gets all day sun.
