We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was comfortable and peaceful with all facilities as you would expect. Bed was comfortable and hosts were very friendly and obliging - even allowing us to use their own washing machine.A good price for a very good unit not far from Napier. We would highly recommend.

It was the perfect place to stay for a short getaway. A very well presented studio unit with a small outdoor area for a relaxing cuppa in the sun. Just what we needed.

Enjoyable stay, well equipped cottage. Loved being out in the country with view across the farmland adjacent. Great to have secure place for bike. Sadly it rained the day we planned cycling but lovely coffee in Taradale as a substitute.

I came from Auckland to visit my mother in law in the rest home. This location was so handy, the place was clean, with a good sized fridge in the kitchenette with absolutely everything you could possibly need to self cater, even an air fryer, which I love using at home. The host was lovely and I really liked those extra touches that made me feel welcome.

Spent Christmas with my wife's family. The studio was tranquil which we needed at the end of each day with the family. Family was only 5 minutes away which made travel easy and quick. Weather was very humid even at night. We were thankful for the fan, however it was inadequate so sleep was poor.

Just a short drive from town but peaceful in the country, we had a very relaxing 5 night stay. The bed was very comfortable and the room had everything we required. We didn't do any cooking but the kitchenette looked like it had what was required for basic meal prep with a microwave and bench top cooker and a bar fridge. The bathroom was again equipped with the basics and the shower had good water pressure and was a good size. Everything was clean and tidy. The wifi wasn't great but the rural setting was probably to blame (same as at our home) so not an issue for us. This was a great place to stay but don't want to rate it too highly else it might be all booked up if we want to come back for another stay 😁😀
