Spectacular View atop Napier Hill - Space for all!

Location is perfect. View of the sea is splendid without needing to fork out more.

Door to the deck could do with a lock change. A window in the dining area could not be closed due to the wooden window being out of alignment - a small job for a carpenter. If you drive a large vehicle like a van, it may be advisable to leave it on the driveway.

A beautiful spot

The driveway

What a lovely, quiet hilltop location with huge views over the bay. It is a craftsman’s house with very comfortable living spaces and a beautiful outdoor terrace, which overlooks the ocean. Being able to have a fire at night with fresh logs was an added bonus.

We needed a better explanation as to where the actual rental unit is located (a small sign on the fence pointing downhill would’ve helped tremendously) as well as a better explanation as to how to heat the house. Those of us not familiar with “heat pumps” needed a short description about using the combo air conditioner/heater up on the wall with the remote and and a note about it being a few minutes before the heat starts up. The master bath is completely open to the bedroom area, so there is no privacy when using the toilet or tub. A simple curtain or according to across this opening would easily solve this issue. There’s also no shower in the master, only a deep bathtub (no shower curtain) that is quite difficult to get in and out of. Having only one trash bin upstairs in the shared bathroom was inconvenient.

Amazing access to all aspects of this beautiful Retro home with a view that could never disappoint. Clean, comfortable, welcoming; truly a home from home. Lovely sitting room with plenty of room for everything and everybody. Beautiful modern kitchen with everything you could want including superior coffee maker and pods. Immaculate bedding, bedrooms, furnishings and bathrooms. We would highly recommend this property.

We were happy everything here. Yes, the driveway is narrow but we were prepared as it’s in the blurb. Yes, it was chilly on arrival (July) but the heaters soon created a cosy kitchen diner and the living room has a beautiful fire place to back up the heater. It’s a shame we didn’t get a chance to test drive curling up in front of that.
