Beautiful view, Up in the Hills looking back at Sea View and Napier city and port. Peaceful, private, very relaxing and comfortable (spacious for 2!). Cozy living area to relax after a days sight seeing. Very nice hosts and cute dog. Great base to explore Hawkes Bay if you have a car. If we back in town would stay again.

Stunning location and the views were breathtaking. Mark and Shelly made us feel really welcome. Bedrooms and bathrooms were beautifully decorated. Lounge ideal for lazing away the evening. Only point to note, although the kitchen was ok for us I would imagine anymore than two people would be a struggle to manage. Lovely pub grub only 20 mins away.

Leaving

I needed some time for myself because I got the news that my dad in Germany has cancer and the volunteer apartment complex I live in is way too crowded... I got just what I needed and more really loved it! Wish I could have stayed longer thank you for letting people stay at your home guys! <3

Loved everything

Great hosts, very friendly and accomodating. Excellent location, got a great view of the full moon and its reflection on the ocean from my bedroom, and during the day got to see a wide variety of birds with our morning coffees (tui, kingfisher, morepork to name a few). The house had everything you could possibly want or need and more. An excellent location to just get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life.

loved the location, the views, the apartment, the hosts, the spa pool, the swimming pool, the laundry chute and outdoor shower. Wonderful, wonderful hosts. Thank you so much, we will be back.

A bigger fridge for sure, with two adults and two kids and the food we brought, a bigger fridge would've been fantastic even though there's a fridge down in the garage, there is definitely room to have a bigger fridge in the apartment.

Stunning, Absolutely fantastic beautiful spot. So many native birds to look at, that's if you can stop looking at the view. Mark was super amazing showed us around and was super fantastic with my chatty 5 year old.

The only thing not to like is having to leave. My child was very sad to leave and wished it was our house

Hosts were so welcoming and friendly. The perfect blend of interaction whilst also giving us plenty of space given that the hosts reside on site. The apartment itself is wonderfully spacious and comfortable. Has the best views!! Perfect for groups on a trip away as we were. We will definitely return, thank you so much Shelley and Mark. 😊

The views are stunning, it's like a private paradise tucked away in the hills. Lovely pool area and spacious, clean, modern apartment. Perfect for what we needed. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Will be back!

Kitchenette is on the small side for an apartment that sleeps so many, but BBQs outside make up for it to some degree and there is everything you need.

Everything was beautiful, hospitality was exceptional and privacy was respected.. beyond expectations! Thank you Mark and Shelly for an amazing stay.

Quiet location up in the hills with a great view from bedroom over Bayview and on to Napier. Very friendly reception
