About this house rental
Beautifully restored 1910 Villa. Offers all the comforts of home. Nestled within Napier South close to Marine Parade, only 10minutes walk. These nearby attractions including fantastic childrens playground/scooter/bike track. Icecream shops, cafes and The National Aquarium of New Zealand. Being the Art Deco capital that we are you are a stones throw away from the Architecture and hype of the Art Deco events and festivities that Napier is famous for. Really close to the Rotary pathways to explore the city on your bike, which can be hired from the Marine Parade cycle hire shop. Ocean Spa offers a relaxing way to spend an evening soaking in heated outdoor pool or spa, or enjoying the gym facilities available. If wine tasting is your thing, chose from the many Cellar doors in the area either guided or non guided, car or bike. These wines can also be found in many of our top local restaurants the city has to offer. If Cricket or Rugby is your thing then you could not get any closer, in fact the ball can land in your back yard!

We were in Napier for our daughter’s wedding. There was myself and my husband, my oldest son, his partner and under 2 year old from Queensland and my youngest son from New York. The house was fabulous and worked really well for us all as plenty of space, clean and in a great location, close to the waterfront and where our daughter and family were staying. Tess was very easy to communicate with before and during the stay and the arrival process was very easy. Would definitely recommend Tess and her home and definitely come back and stay again.

The house is very nice, on a busy road, close to central Napier and sea front, lovely garden with tables, chairs and decks to catch the light. Kitchen and bathrooms well equipped but bedrooms need more personal storage and hanging space. Beds comfortable but more pillows and simple duvet covers. We had a good time in Napier, thank you.

The house is lovely and interesting and the hosts clearly have a green thumb; both inside and outside are filled with healthy plants, which is uplifting.
The upside of the location is that it’s not a long walk to beach, and quite fast by car to downtown or north Napier, or to highways out of town. The downside is that it’s on a rather busy street.
The host was helpful and fast in communication.

We had a fabulous stay, the house was a perfect base to see Napier. The AC was a blessing in the heat.

A nicely furnished and well equipped villa not far from the centre. Very handy for our son’s cricket at Nelson Park as it just a couple of minutes walk. We really enjoyed our stay.

The moment I saw the colourful front garden I knew I had made the right choice in my holiday home. And when I walked around to the back and saw the verdant grape pergola I knew I would be enjoying many happy hours quaffing Hawke's Bay pinot gris there. And the inside - very spacious, tastefully furnished/decorated rooms, well-provided.
Sadly my last week was interrupted by the disastrous cyclone that has so seriously devastated the region - but the host could not have been kinder - bringing me a thermos of hot water every morning, a warm meal at night, they were able to arrange for me to make an early exit, took me to the airport. All beyond expectations; they could see how stressed I was by this catastrophe

Stunning villa, beautiful gardens with lovely places to sit and enjoy the space. Fantastic location, spotlessly clean and tidy. Has everything you need for a relaxing break. So wonderful we could bring our dogs, our son loved it too. One of the best holiday homes we have stayed in Napier. Thank you so much Tess, our son had the best time celebrating his big 10! We will be back for sure😊

A beautiful home with plenty of space for our extended family group of 4 adults and 2 children. Great communication with the owner and thoughtful touches of wine and bouquets of flowers left for us! Right next to McLean park so walking distance into the city. Really comfortable place to stay and would highly recommend!

The place is much better that the photos appear. It was a beautifully furnished house in a very central location with great amenities. Our group had a wonderful stay after our new years trip. Also perfect location for Napier wine tasting.

We were lucky enough to spend 10 wonderful days in this beautiful character family home with its magical outdoor dining and garden. Perfectly located for everything that this lovely city and beach have to offer. After arriving, we hardly used the car. We walked 15-20km a day around the city, beach, port and up on the Bluff with our dog. Highly recommended and hope to go back for another stay.

All three generations and the dog had a brilliant stay! Plenty of room for everyone and we loved sitting out on the front verandah. Comfy and clean!
Great location with easy walk/scooter to beach, park and town.

A good house and lovely garden. Clean, comfortable with cool art, loads of house plants and plenty of character. Near to central Napier, the beach and cycle ways. It was perfect for our needs.

Had very friendly and easy communication with owner. Was a short stay for us and so the importance of comfort and a good nights sleep was appreciated.
Lovely decor and gardens.
Some traffic noise being so close to all amenities.

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!

Fantastic place to enjoy Napier!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The property has heat pumps in both living areas, and the outdoor spaces are spectacular! Had some amazing outdoor dinners :)
Also really close to Marine Parade and restaurants there, about a 3 minute drive. Would definitely stay here again!

This is such a lovely spot to base a Hawkes Bay holiday in, close to everything with a gorgeous sheltered garden that is an oasis in the day and sitting outside in the evenings. Thank you Tess for making us so welcome.

christmas at the villa
This was like walking into a copy of house and garden. We were greeted by beautiful outdoor and indoor xmas arrangements, flowers and a fully stocked kitchen we were invited to use. The villa is very comfortable and we all enjoyed our sleeps. Our dogs were welcome which means alot to our family. Best stay in Napier yet.
4.8
The house was great, had everything we needed and location was good, in that it was close to town and waterfront...however, if I had've known the property was on a busy corner site, I probably wouldn't have booked...we all found it quite noisy and not relaxing.
