2 Bedroom house close to town and beach

Our 'Napier Nook' is a cute cottage close to everything you'd want to do in Napier. Enjoy the walk/cycle path which follows the coast. Also, the beach, playground, shopping, cafes, bars and eateries just down the road. Napier offers many tourist attractions such as the National Aquarium, Art Deco architecture and annual festival weekend, various concerts, vineyards, Ocean Spa hot pools and much more. There is enough off road parking for 2 vehicles plus usually room on the road. Room to park the boat with the marina and boat ramp near by. The property is alarmed. There is plenty of comfortable seating if it's a relaxing break you are after. Cellphone coverage is best on the verandah or in the back yard. The oven is a small bench top oven with cook top. An electric frypan and microwave should cater for basic cooking facilities. There are a range of DVDs available. Linen, pillows and duvets are provided for the beds in the bedrooms only. Our holiday home is an affordable option for families, couples or small groups wanting to have a comfortable stay with all the basics provided.

Maybe just for backpackers
We really didn’t enjoy much about this place at all. After 3 nights we were more than ready to leave. On the plus side: The host was easy to deal with and was quick to respond when I asked a question about connectivity to the internet. The inside was basically clean (some dubious smells in certain areas) and the kitchen was equipped sufficiently enough to prepare breakfast. The washing machine is good and worked well. I’m afraid that’s about all the positive spin I can give. The furniture is tired and the green armchairs don’t look clean. My impression is that it has been furnished from various charity shops. The bed linen is old and needs freshening up. Various cupboards are full of linen and towels. Very little space for your own clothes. Agree with previous comments in that the shower cubicle is probably the smallest available. (Shower itself worked fine). Final straw for us was finding a kitchen cupboard infested with ants, a bag of breakfast cereal was alive with them and had to be binned. Overall, this place just didn’t feel welcoming or homely. After visiting various places in the area, it’s not the sort of place one wants to head back to and relax. It is low budget, but we’ve stayed in several other places in NZ for a similar price and they don’t bear comparison. Might suit backpackers on a very limited budget and with low expectations, but otherwise I’d suggest considering other options in the Napier area.

Home away from home
Reached the location, found the keys as stated by the property manager, went in and to our surprise the house was awesome. We were not expecting it to be that clean and tidy but infact it exceeded our expectations. Even though the heat pump wasnt working, the property manager had extra heaters for us. And it felt like home away from home.

Short stay
We were just needing somewhere to sleep while we visited a family member. It was clean and had everything we needed. Heat pump was useful. I would have takwn some toys for my 4 year old but it said children toys there and I couldn't find any but wasn't a major! Suit led us for what we needed

Old but practical
The place is very old, has some quirky ness to it that is cool, some that isn’t so much. Definitely Presentation could be nicer ie: duvet covers were miss matched faded and had bird poo on one but there were nicer newer ones in the cupboard, the lounge suite could be upgraded or cleaned, more pillows and Cleaning or painting of walls as it is white. But they are all easy fixes and didn’t make a difference to us as we were just sleeping there.

Great little cottage, good location, heat pump excellent for both cold and hot conditions. Fridge a bit loud, can hear in bedroom. Lack of phone coverage got annoying. Bring your own pillows. But generally good value.

Lovely cottage on Bluff Hill
We loved this place, located in a gully on Bluff Hill. It's a good basic Kiwi bach, with all the fundamentals covered, and a lovely green outlook and lots of birdsong. A decent budget option in Napier.
