About this house rental
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);

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Tess was great with communication. The villa was lovely and the outdoor area was so perfect to just hang!
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
We very much liked the characterful house and especially the plants and the garden. The owner, Tess, is very trusting to allow strangers like us to stay because there are a lot of personal items throughout the house. It’s great to have walkable access to central Napier and the sea front, and the local coffee shops and corner store. Pity about traffic noise from busy Latham street: this is why we rate the house 4star rather than 5star.
