Cute, quiet, and full of charm, Charming on Cambridge is a cosy Taradale hideaway and the perfect base for discovering the very best of Napier and Hawke’s Bay. Tucked away in a peaceful neighbourhood, this welcoming home places you just minutes from some of the region’s most celebrated attractions — including world-class wineries such as Mission Estate and Church Road, popular local cafés, boutique shops, and the scenic Sugar Loaf lookout.
From here, it’s an easy drive to Napier’s iconic Art Deco precinct, Marine Parade, coastal cycle and walking trails, and memorable day trips to Cape Kidnappers. Whether your plans involve wine tasting, cycling, sightseeing, or simply slowing down and relaxing, everything is right on your doorstep.
The home offers three comfortable bedrooms and one bathroom and is family-friendly, with a cot available in the master bedroom (please note: guests are required to bring their own cot bedding). The well-equipped kitchen, complete with a Nespresso coffee machine, makes it easy to enjoy relaxed mornings before heading out to explore.
At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area, making it ideal not only for families, but also for working groups, colleagues travelling together, or friends catching up. There’s plenty of space to relax, share meals, or plan the next day’s adventures. Step outside onto the deck and enjoy your own private outdoor entertaining space, perfect for soaking up the Hawke’s Bay sunshine.
