Delia was a lovely host, going the extra mile to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. An easy walk to town, and a small but perfectly formed place to stay…

Great stay at Didi's place

We had a lovely time in Didi's charming little home. There were lots of thoughtful touches - like extra toiletries in case you forgot yours, a yummy breakfast and chocolate biscuits on the table. Everything was spotlessly clean and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was also great to have the fenced area for our dogs. And the dog beds were another nice touch. Overall, it was a great spot to spend a few days. Very handy to town too.

Great place to stay

We stayed with our small dog and it was very pet friendly and so close to the town. We walked into town for a coffee every morning. Will be trying to stay here again when we come to Napier. Very, very comfortable.

We loved it the minute we walked in. All bed linen and towels were of excellent quality. Our little dog was well catered for and there were lovely touches like peanut slabs, good quality coffee and pet bowls for our little dog.
