The apartment is a sunny, warm home, with comfort in mind and to be your home away from home, with all the little extras, including free WiFi.

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. As the place is in a semi-rural area, we have a septic tank and filtered bore water. There is room to park any big vehicles and trailers. How much interaction you wish to have is entirely up to you. 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.

There is a hooded BBQ 6 burner (with a side cooker) for those who love to cook outside. The lounge has comfortable recliners, an LED TV, stereo system, chrome-cast and DVD player. There are games, puzzles, books and movies suitable for all ages. There is a heat pump/air conditioner for winter and summer comfort.

Other areas:
There is an integral single garage and off-street parking. The laundry is in the garage with a washing machine, dryer and ironing board etc.

Wheelchair friendly - the unit is easily accessible via the ranch-sliders, doors and hallways. The kitchen and bathroom have been designed with wheelchair accessibility. All internal door openings are at least 30 inches wide, with the openings from the kitchen and lounge to the hallway being 34 inches wide.

Our stay was excellent. Accessible bathroom a big plus and plenty of room for our baby granddaughter made our stay very comfortable. Pantry extras amazing and the feijoa and apple juice Marika left in the fridge with milk was appreciated.

Couldn't be better
We had the most perfect stay. Marika has stocked the pantry with yummy goodies, you have no chance of getting through. The house is sunny, roomy and well appointed. It's close to Taradale and if you're going to a wedding at the Old Church, it's utterly brilliant. BEST PLACE EVER!

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!!
