About this chalet rental

Five minutes walk to the centre of town, this charming fully-furnished family home is set among trees in a quiet location across the road from Gleeson Park. This reserve is mainly lawn and trees with a small playground for children, and is suitable for family games and picnics ... bring your badminton net!
Designed and built by an architect in the 1960s, the quirky home has many interesting features including a narrow sky-view strip that runs the length of the roof. Very little has been modified over the years, apart from the original balcony. This was completely rebuilt (2017) to comply with modern building-safety standards.
The master bedroom upstairs has a small bridge that leads across to an elevated private garden with fruit trees.
While the main bathroom has a shower, toilet and bath, upstairs there's a second toilet with hand basin.
Being a chalet style with open stairs, our holiday home is not ideally suited for wee toddlers or the infirm.
Off street parking is available for up to three vehicles.
Special conditions:
Minimum stay 2 nights.
$190 per night for 2 adults, plus $10 per night per extra person.

Smoking allowed outside only.

Extras: Linen (included); Free Wifi (included);Sky TV. (included)
NOTE: Under Kiwi Bach tradition you are expected to leave the Bach in a tidy condition.

With most of our group think the stairs need gates at the tops so no accidents happen.

Good location for us, only minutes from town centre. The house was warm and comfortable and the beds were fine. It have everything that we needed plus. It is a multi level wooden house so quite creaky when you're moving around it. Our host was next door and very pleasant.

The host is very accommodating, and our stay was nice. If you are like me and have the best bed in the world, then you will notice that the beds here are far from it, but I still went out like a light when my head hit the pillow and got plenty of sleep. In our party, we had myself and my partner, and 3 friends who slept in different rooms. We found the place was very spacious and wasn't cramped at all. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a place for 4 or more people.

We were a group of 5 friends running in the Hawkes Bay 10km. The house is conveniently located to Napier shops and the Marine Parade. It had everything we needed, including a one button gas fire place. Good afternoon sun and we felt relaxed and cozy here. The decor and fittings are dated but for comfy beds and a cheap and cheerful getaway it was ideal for us. Ron was excellent to deal with.

Came to Napier to attend a concert. Location is in easy reach of main street and also McLean Park. The home is well maintained with a few quirky features which add to it's charm. Our host was very helpful. Thank you

A quirky home which was a pleasure to stay in. Suitable for those who can cope with stairs as there are two long flights of stairs. A large open plan kitchen/dining/lounge which was well used during our stay. Everything we needed, and more, was provided making this the perfect place to stay for our two day minibreak. We did not park in the driveway as it looked a bit tricky to reverse out of and instead chose to park on the side of the road.

Was perfect for us, big place with everything you need. Bit rough around the edges but a pleasant stay and well priced. Ron was helpful and friendly, great to deal with. Would not be suitable for young kids due to gaps in the railing around the stairs.

We loved our stay at Ron's place for Art Deco weekend. Very homely and quirky property with lots of space for our group and well equipped. Gets hot in the summer, but plenty of fans and leaving the large balcony door open helped a lot. Loved sitting out on the balcony to have breakfast in the morning. Very easy access to town and a great base for chilling out after a busy day and then heading back into town again. Would stay again if we get the chance!

This property was perfect for our three night stay. The old world, retro feel was something that we enjoyed as a family. The bach itself has everything a family of 5 could need and more. It felt like a home away from Home because like any home that is a dated property, expect to hear creaks and find some dust in corners. There were some issues with internet speed - but it didn’t bother us as we were there to relax and attend a wedding. If there are members in your travel party that have trouble with mobility, this isn’t the property for you. One must use stairs to get to the kitchen/lounge, and the toilet bowls sit low. Expect to feel super warm on hot sunny says when indoors. The table fans provided came in handy and leaving the massive French door open ay all times helped. I imagine the home would be cosy in the winter because of the two fireplaces in the lounge. Ron was a perfect host, attentive with details and although he lives right next door - it was like we were there on our own. We loved our stay there and will definitely visit again. Thanks Ron!
