Esther & Tom are delightful hosts. We loved our stay. Every detail from the linens, to wool blankets, to chocolates on the bed. The breakfast was delicious. The place is in walking distance to everything you would want to see in Napier. If you thinking of booking this place the answer is YES.

That we had to leave.

Breakfast was great handy to allour needs

Just A maz ING !!! What a treat to stay. A wonderful welcoming place in the centre of Napier. Close by the sea, the beach, the beautiful boulevard, the restaurants and the shops. It immediately felt like home. Esther and Tom are the most lovely hosts, you’ll may experience. Nothing is too much trouble, just perfect in every way. Esther has amazing home cooking and fresh baking available for the mornings and afternoon. They are also full of local knowledge and trivia, if you need any recommendation for visiting places in the area. The house and the rooms are spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Fantastic bathrooms with walk-in shower, heated floors and luxurious toiletries. So many lovely things are presented, like homemade cakes or cookies when you arrive back at home in the afternoon. Freshly made, fruit salads, cakes, jams, and bread in the morning with the choice of either cooked or continental breakfast. Drinking tea or wine in the afternoon with all sorts of freshly made nibbles. Port and chocolates at bedtime. We’ve stayed at many 5 star accomodations in the world , but this place is so much more…… Words fail us; you have to see and experience it for yourself! Therefore, we would encourage anyone visiting Napier in New Zealand to treat themselves to this quintessential experience. Our stay at this luxury accomodation, 415 Marine Parade was definitely one of the most memorable stays of our holiday in New Zealand. It was sad to move on, but we will definitely return to this place when we return to NZ. Esther and Tom, thank you for your generous hospitality. XXX R&B

Every little luxury considered and Tom & Esther were the most divine, generous and accommodating hosts. We felt so looked after and they really make sure you feel like you’re on holiday.

An exceptional place to stay. Beautifully refurbished property, amazing attention to detail, superb location, warm, friendly and generous hosts. Cake and tea on arrival and whenever you want. Wine and drinks served each night: all complimentary. Home baking for breakfast with different selection each day. Helpful suggestions for activities and help with making reservations. The rooms and bathrooms are fantastic and opening out on to the veranda via French shutters. We’ve been travelling for ten weeks now and 415 Marine Parade is accommodation not to be missed. Napier is also a place not to be missed.

Everything is perfect.

Perfect home away from home! The standard of the accommodation is nothing short of exceptional. The hosts couldn't do enough for us and the breakfast provided was absolutely top notch. Highly recommended to anyone looking to stay in Napier

Perfect stay! Nothing to fault!

The Hosts Tom and Ester were charming and delightful.
