The location was great. The facilities a bit rumpty, but reasonably clean (which we didn't mind as cost was very good). We think there were bed-bugs, not nice.

Good Place

We enjoyed the experience. It was nice to have a place to store and prep our own food. The rooms were rather hot, but the ability to open windows made it bearable. Clean rooms and set up. The beds were comfortable and safe to sleep. Overall good experience and lovely hostess. Would likely visit again.

The smell is really stinky in the room. We arrived at 8:36PM and it’s was a heavy raining day. We grab everything with us and we locked by the front door because the reception already left and no one told us it would happen? After we finally get in, we were already all wet. Really terrible experience that I had ever had!

Fabulous stay, right at the beach and so close to town. We always stay here when in Napier. The hosts are very friendly and nothing is a problem....facilities are great and always clean. With free wifi we highly recommend staying here and will be back again.

Too Much Bed Bug.room15

Too mich Bed bug. and No good staff. Because I said change room.He said NO Because He said I can not see a bed bug I showed the corpse of a bedbag from which blood came out. He said I can not see a bed bug. I slept only a little on that night and killed a total of 8 bed bugs. More than 30 bite in the bed bug in two days. I will never go again Even now, after a lapse of a week, the whole body itch it every night so I can not sleep. I still remember the cold correspondence of the staff.

Great stay!

Super friendly desk clerk! Explained everything, gave good recommendations for local food, and quick. Kitchen was clean and organized and plenty of space to eat even with many visitors also eating. WiFi was easy to connect and was good quality. Only complaint is our room was quite tight.
