Character Napier South Villa

Fantastic stay in a perfect location for families, just a scoot away from the aquarium, bike track with traffic lights, playground, skate park and everything else on Marine Parade! The rooms are light and bright and spacious and the dining area outside is really special. The spa pool is long gone but the new air conditioning was very much needed on hot days. If bringing a toddler or baby, bring all their bits and bobs- cutlery and bowls etc. Tess was a warm and friendly host who was easy to communicate with, and we can’t wait to come back and stay again!

Tess was great with communication. The villa was lovely and the outdoor area was so perfect to just hang!

We very much liked the characterful house and especially the plants and the garden. The owner, Tess, is very trusting to allow strangers like us to stay because there are a lot of personal items throughout the house. It’s great to have walkable access to central Napier and the sea front, and the local coffee shops and corner store. Pity about traffic noise from busy Latham street: this is why we rate the house 4star rather than 5star.

This was an authentic art deco cozy home in Napier. Everything was in walking distance. Highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa. Lovely option of indoor and outdoor spaces.

We had an excellent stay here - the house is beautiful! Lovely quirky decorations, and lush plants throughout the house and in the outdoor areas. The house had everything we needed, with spacious bedrooms, kitchen and living areas. We also loved the covered deck area, and the front verandah was beautiful in the morning sun - several passersby complimented me on my lovely house and garden! (I did admit that it wasn’t actually my hard work ). The house is literally next door to McLean Park, and we were lucky enough that our stay coincided with a Magpies game - lots of fun, and super convenient! Thanks for a great stay - would definitely recommend

We had a lovely time. Such a gorgous villa, we really loved it. Beautiful garden. Great location, only 10 mins from Marine Parade. Highly recommended.

Spent 4 nights at this Bach with our daughter, her partner and two grandkids (6 and 2) on 1st visit to Napier area. Location was very convenient (right by cricket stadium but that was no issue). Very walkable, Close to stores, coffee, wonderful bakery. Incredibly comfortable interior, beautifully appointed, great kitchen, comfy beds, nice bathrooms and a garden that was stunning. I would stay here again for sure.

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 was perfect for “girls getting ready” photos. So green, so many plants everywhere! Bedrooms are very big and there’s two big living areas to spread out in. Great location. Very clean. Comfy beds.

Quaint, charming character home… loved the diverse vegetation, both inside and outside. Next door to the stadium for events, close to the downtown core, easy access to the local wineries, the cycle trails and treks. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and the host was great with communications, providing suggestions well in advance of our arrival.

Beautiful old house with a lovely surrounding garden.Nicely furnished with some unique touches.Easy walk into the town centre and beach. Situated on a slightly busy road but this did not bother us. Maclean Park stadium is next door and was not a bother even during an evening cricket match. A good cafe and second hand bookstore were nearby.The

We found the property to be good, not great. It was comfortable, but not as clean as we would expect. We enjoyed being close to the downtown and we liked the sunny sitting area and plants inside. The location could be a problem if there is an event at the stadium, which is right next to the property. The host was helpful and responsive.

Great location, was perfect for walking to town and accessing amenities. Easy parking for the trailer and car.

The owner has an amazing selection of plants both inside and outside. These really made the place feel like home! Lots of outside space. We easily had room for 2 cars and 7 bikes. Great covered patio, good bbq, and a well appointed kitchen. We were able to make a full Christmas dinner. The bathrooms were modern & spacious. Immensely enjoyed our time here!

Great location and property. Thank you again

Location was fabulous, easy walk to town. Perfect for two couples as we each had a bathroom and plenty of different spaces to relax. Loved the outdoor area and BBQ, beautiful garden. Great to have off street parking. Listing did say pool and gym which it didn't have but we didn't mind. Super responsive host, quickest I've experienced. Loved the ceilings and cute art deco touches. Fresh flowers inside were a nice touch too. Thank you for a great stay.
