It is a self-contained unit which is separated by two garages from the host's house. You will have the privacy, a single garage, ample off-street parking and own access to the front gardens.

Guests are very welcome to entertain family and friends whilst staying.

All clean linen and towels are provided and we will take of the replacement linen. There is no cleaning fee, however if you can do the dishes or put the dishwasher on before checking out; we will do rest.

Wheelchair friendly - the unit is easily accessible via the ranch-sliders, doors and hallways. The kitchen and bathroom have been designed with wheelchair accessibility.

Great property
One of the best we have stayed at. Very clean, excellent facilities, clear instructions from owner, lovely little touches like avocados from own tree and jasmine in bathroom for our stay. Added bonus of being totally accessible for anyone with a disability (not tokenistic saying they are when actually not) and handy to Napier and easy to get to Hastings. Highly recommend.

Quiet and peaceful
Nice and quiet, out of the way if the hustle and bustle but close enough to get to IronMaori event with short trip up motorway. Homely and clean, large modern bathroom, internal garage, well stocked kitchen and wardrobes with extra blankets and towels. Marika the host was welcoming and friendly. Great stay!!

Cozy and well appointed home away from home
Our family of five enjoyed a great stay at Napier Retreat in December! The place was clean, comfy and spacious. The pantry and fridge were well stocked, and we also had fresh lemons and avocados from the garden. Bedrooms and bathrooms were well appointed and comfortable with every detail taken care of. Our hostess Marika was absolutely great, and very helpful! We highly recommend Napier Retreat for your next visit to Hawke’s Bay!

We had an amazing long weekend away. Napier Retreat is centrally located and this gave us the opportunity to plan our day trips properly around the various tourist attractions. The host was bery welcoming, friendly and just fantastic. She had the unit nice and warm, lights were on and the front door was left unlocked upon arrival. The Host recommended some local attractions, sent me a e-mail with links of all the tourist attractions. There was also a lot of brochures inside the unit left for our perusal. Napier Retreat is very well equipped with everything your own home has and more. From games, books, movies there was never ample to do inside the unit too. The convenience of the laundry was also a huge benefit. We had the opportunity of experiencing Hawkes Bay and surroundings, break away from city life, and truly enjoyed our stay in every way. I will highly recommend Napier Retreat to anyone planning a trip in the Hawkes Bay vaccinity.

The owners were so lovely and friendly but also gave us our space only seeing them when arriving and leaving. The property is tidy and warm and our 2 year old had plenty of room to play inside and out comfortably and safely. Easy to get to town and easy to find. Highly recommend!!

When we arrived we were greeted by Marika. Marika is lovely and our stay at her Bookabach was fabulous. We had everything that we needed and there were lots of things to keep you occupied if you were staying longer. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a bookabach to stay here. Thank you Marika for being so welcoming 😀
