415 Marine Parade

Esther and Tom are the most fabulous hosts. Their property is ideally located and immaculate. The bed was large and comfortable, the furnishings were modern, the bathroom was spacious and up to date. We travelled in winter and there was heating in the room, an electric blanket on the bed, extra blankets in the wardrobe. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh, with a cooked option. There were plenty of little touches that made the stay extra special, like fruit in the room, and a small port decanter each evening.

Nothing!

This is very much the place to stay if visiting Napier. Esther and her husband are terrific hosts and add in a very pleasant welcome drinks session around 5 pm. The situation is right on the seafront and a pleasant walk into the old town. Breakfasts were superb. It is very much at the upper end of the price range but we felt that it was worth it. Esther was particularly helpful in suggesting a guided tour of the town. Not something we would normally do, but this was different with just four guests sharing a personalised tour in an open top 1940 Packard car with a very experienced and helpful guide.

Nothing to dislike

We had a wonderful stay at 415 Marine Parade during our honeymoon in New Zealand. Esther and Tom are truly kind and welcoming hosts who made our stay extra special. The room was cozy, comfortable, and well equipped. We especially loved the lovely view from the balcony, which made it a perfect place to relax.

Tom and Esther were attentive and thoughtful hosts. We enjoyed our time in Napier and much was due to their recommendations! The breakfasts, midday treats and happy hour drinks did not disappoint either. We recommend highly 415 Marine Parade — the only B and B experience out of several tries that my husband enjoyed!
