It was a great spot and the room was perfect.

A small fridge in the room, rather than a shared one in the corridor might be good.

Delightful location, beautifully renovated and furnished.

This was one of our favorite stays in New Zealand! The accommodations were excellent and it is a great location and wonderful ocean views. Esther and Tom’s hospitality was over the top!!

There is nothing I didn’t like about my stay.

It’s a beautifully presented property that offers comfort and style. We enjoyed a welcome drink on our first night and delicious cooked breakfast on each morning. Esther and Tom were perfect hosts with great insights on local places to see and visit.

Esther and Tom are amazing hosts. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel at home. Just an amazing place to stay away from home. I would recommend this gem to anyone, who values quality place to rest and converse with loving people. Thank you Esther and Tom.

Atmosphere, passion of owners and made to feel great. Layout of house with communal dining and social hour for meet and greet, did I mention the hosts ?! Well done and a proper 5 star review

Outstanding in every way. The owners Esther and Tom are the best hosts we have encountered and I’ve used BNBs a lot, including UK. We enjoyed a welcome drink with them in the afternoon and Esther is a wonderful cook. She makes beautiful cakes each day leaving for guests to enjoy! Breakfast was superb. It was a real treat staying here. I wish we had longer to stay!

415 Marine Parade is a beautiful property which has been renovated to the highest standard. Our room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. There is a lounge and a deck that are free to be used at any time. Free parking is right outside. Ester and Tom have thought of absolutely everything and treat you more like family friends coming to stay, rather than hotel guests. There is Freshly baked cake in the afternoon and breakfast was outstanding! It was perfect.

Absolutely fabulous! This is the best B&B in which we have stayed in 35 years of travel! So many extras; it was such a pleasure to find one treat after another! They use local NZ products which are wonderful. The fresh cake or cookies every day were top quality. Little appetizers at 5pm with wine if desired. A plethora of non-alcohol beverages available, great snacks in the room. Amazing bathroom amenities. Large, spacious, very well appointed rooms. A perfect location. The hosts could not have been kinder nor more helpful. I’d give them a 20 out of 10 if I could.

Absolutely nothing to dislike!

Tom & Esther made us feel so welcome. It was more like we were invited to their home instead of a hotel.

Everthing 😃👍🎉 We have had the Most wonderful time with Tom and Esther 🙏 the have build a home away from home in Napier 🥰 thanks for your hospitality

Nothing. Everything was perfect. Especially Esther’s baking.

Everything! This is an 11/10 6* experience. Esther and Tom are exceptional hosts and go out of their way to make your stay perfect. They not only picked me up and dropped me off at the bus station but also helped with restaurant reservations. Meet and greet fellow guests with a drink at 5pm was a great way to get to know fellow travellers. The place itself was beautiful and in a perfect location. Breakfast was the best I’ve had in NZ. I could go on and on about just how good this is but go and see for yourself!

The experience with the charming hosts Esther and Tom was just amazing. You truly feel like an awaited guest, and part of the experience are the shared moments with the hosts and/ or the other guests. The house is stunningly decorated with a lot of thoughtful details (elevator, sunscreen, drinks with guests, breakfast). One of the best accomodation experiences I have ever had, in any country.
