Very well equipped, spacious, lots of lovely little touches, ornaments, and art works and a garden and courtyard to enjoy. The information on the history of the cottage made it even more special. We were able to walk down to the main part of Napier. Over all an exceptional place to stay for a few nights.

Amazing location, decor was stunning and it was a real treat to stay somewhere so luxurious.
Parking wasn't wonderful on the roadside, I struggled to find a space after being out for the evening. Only downside to an otherwise wonderful spot but wouldn't put me off staying there again.

I loved the quaintness and cuteness of the cottage. I was in Napier for work so I didn't get to visit the sites.
I did however, love coming back to the cottage after a long workday/night for rest and relaxation.
It was a great place to stay. If I come back to Napier I'll be staying here again and would definitely recommend to others

We had a beautiful stay, despite the weather. It is a beautiful cottage and felt very homely and cosy. Not too much street noise at all and it is pretty close to the restauraunts. Would definitely book again :)
Honestly, everything was just perfect.

We absolutely loved everything about our stay. The room and cottage was perfectly decorated to acknowledge its history with a more modern comfortable twist. Loved the bed and couch - all the cushions and linens were of a high quality. The location was absolutely fantastic- we didn’t have to use our car, we just walked everywhere. There were lots of staircases making it easy to access town. The view is incredible from the cottage on both sides. The back yard area is stunning and I wish I had more time to spend lounging out there. We would definitely stay again if/when we return to Napier. Thanks so much for an absolutely wonderful honeymoon location.
Everything was exceptional. Only thing that I personally would have benefitted from was complimentary conditioner (hair) as there is only shampoo and body wash. This was not an issue as I had some left over from the previous accomodation.

Brilliant location - easy to walk and cycle to and from town & Ahuriri.
The bottle of olive oil was empty.
Given that my wife has arthritis, the settee was uncomfortable.

The Cottage's old style and history. It was spacious and very clean and tidy.
It is nice and handy to the city and supermarket and food outlets
Because it was very windy for the last three days of our stay the window by the bathroom entrance and the bathroom rattled enough to want pulling something in them to stop the noise.

Comfortable, clean, and classy. up to date amenities, but stylishly keeping with the heritage building. quality linens, comfortable bedding and furniture.
Only that we couldn’t stay longer!
