Enjoy the sound of the birds among the trees

Five minutes walk to the centre of town, this charming fully-furnished family home is set among trees in a quiet location across the road from Gleeson Park. This reserve is mainly lawn and trees with a small playground for children, and is suitable for family games and picnics ... bring your badminton net!
Designed and built by an architect in the 1960s, the quirky home has many interesting features including a narrow sky-view strip that runs the length of the roof. Very little has been modified over the years, apart from the original balcony. This was completely rebuilt (2017) to comply with modern building-safety standards.
The master bedroom upstairs has a small bridge that leads across to an elevated private garden with fruit trees.
While the main bathroom has a shower, toilet and bath, upstairs there's a second toilet with hand basin.
Being a chalet style with open stairs, our holiday home is not ideally suited for wee toddlers or the infirm.
Off street parking is available for up to three vehicles.
Special conditions:
Minimum stay 2 nights.
$190 per night for 2 adults, plus $10 per night per extra person.

Smoking allowed outside only.

Extras: Linen (included); Free Wifi (included);Sky TV. (included)
NOTE: Under Kiwi Bach tradition you are expected to leave the Bach in a tidy condition.

Relaxing getaway
We were a group of 5 friends running in the Hawkes Bay 10km. The house is conveniently located to Napier shops and the Marine Parade. It had everything we needed, including a one button gas fire place. Good afternoon sun and we felt relaxed and cozy here. The decor and fittings are dated but for comfy beds and a cheap and cheerful getaway it was ideal for us. Ron was excellent to deal with.

Home away from home
We loved staying here, it was so comfortable and cosy, just like being at home. We were a sports group of 6 people, and the home catered for all our needs and then some. We would definitely book here again for our next trip.

Came to Napier to attend a concert. Location is in easy reach of main street and also McLean Park. The home is well maintained with a few quirky features which add to it's charm. Our host was very helpful. Thank you

A relaxing place to be
A quirky home which was a pleasure to stay in. Suitable for those who can cope with stairs as there are two long flights of stairs. A large open plan kitchen/dining/lounge which was well used during our stay. Everything we needed, and more, was provided making this the perfect place to stay for our two day minibreak. We did not park in the driveway as it looked a bit tricky to reverse out of and instead chose to park on the side of the road.

Spacious welcoming home
Was perfect for us, big place with everything you need. Bit rough around the edges but a pleasant stay and well priced. Ron was helpful and friendly, great to deal with. Would not be suitable for young kids due to gaps in the railing around the stairs.
