It is a self-contained unit which is separated by two garages from the host's house. You will have the privacy, a single garage, ample off-streetparking and own access to the front gardens.

There is an integral single garage and off-street parking. The laundry is in the garage with a washing machine, dryer and ironing board etc.

Wheelchair friendly - the unit is easily accessible via the ranch-sliders, doors and hallways. The kitchen and bathroom have been designed with wheelchair accessibility. All internal door openings are at least 30 inches wide, with the openings from the kitchen and lounge to the hallway being 34 inches wide.

    Marika's place was everything we needed for our 2 day stop over before carrying on to Gisborne. All the amenities (especially the remote garage door opener) were brilliant. Shower was premo ( loved the large shower rose head) & comfy beds. A lovely quiet area that's not far away from Napier CBD or Marine Parade. Homemade jams & spreads were delish too. Marika was a lovely lady to chat with, Will definitely look to stay again. Many thanks Marika. David, Liz, Tamara & Tawhana.

    We had the most perfect stay. Marika has stocked the pantry with yummy goodies, you have no chance of getting through. The house is sunny, roomy and well appointed. It's close to Taradale and if you're going to a wedding at the Old Church, it's utterly brilliant. BEST PLACE EVER!

    This is one of the most wheelchair accessible places I've stayed. It's in a great location, nice and close to a cycle path, plus it has a nice friendly helpful owner.
