Biddy and Brin would like to welcome you to their beautiful architecturally designed waterfront home situated in sunny Napier, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. We offer you a comfortable stay along with warm hospitality and absolutely uninterrupted access to the water's edge.
The studio has been totally converted from Sue Schaare's original art studio where she did all her painting. Sue is a well know NZ artist. Although we have modernised the studio, we have tried to keep its original ambiance. The studio faces west and has lovely sunsets filtering through the olive trees. There is a lovely courtyard just off the studio for guests to sit an relax, or beautiful decks on the sea side of the house for their pleasure.
Located in Bay View, just north of the Hawke's Bay airport and only 8 kms from Napier CBD, we boast beautiful views eastward towards Mahia Peninsular, Napier Port and Bluff Hill. Westward the view is rural towards the Kaweka ranges.
Airport pick-up is offered or if you are travelling by car we have ample off street parking available.
Experience the magic of the sun rising out of the Pacific Ocean from our beautiful beach front and, on that special night, the full moon rising over the horizon. A hot spa pool over looking the beach is available for guests to use at their leisure.
Take advantage of our local Snapper Park cafe ( an 8 minute walk). In season experience our local grown summer fruits just a few minutes down the road.
As we are on a national walk/cycle way, you may like to enjoy a walk or cycle ride. Alternatively a quiet walk along the beach, soaking up the Hawke's Bay sunshine, can be extremely invigorating.
We have a variety of cycles available for use by guests, including a tandem cycle.
Whether you are visiting Napier for our famous Art Deco celebrations or the Mission Concerts or just taking time out in one of the sunniest places in New Zealand, we will endeavor to make your stay an enjoyable one.
