Character Napier South Villa

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!
Special conditions:
Our Villa is set up ideally for 3 couples, or a large family group.
Smoking is acceptable outside only.
It is a fully fenced property with secure off street parking that
can accommodate up to 4 cars if necessary.
Please note this is our home that we live in not just a leave
and lock up batch.
More pictures to come.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$100.00 per stay); Linen (included);

A home away from home
Location was fabulous, easy walk to town. Perfect for two couples as we each had a bathroom and plenty of different spaces to relax. Loved the outdoor area and BBQ, beautiful garden. Great to have off street parking. Listing did say pool and gym which it didn't have but we didn't mind. Super responsive host, quickest I've experienced. Loved the ceilings and cute art deco touches. Fresh flowers inside were a nice touch too. Thank you for a great stay.

Wedding accom
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.

Charming Villa
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.

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.

couldn't be better
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😊

Gorgeous villa in a handy city location
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!

A gem in central Napier
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.

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!
