It was our second time staying at the property the location is great, the property is very clean, has everything you need and is as pictured. Would recommend to others
Fantastic place to stay, accommodation very comfortable with everything you need. Private sheltered outdoor space. Host very generous. Great location. Would definitely stay again.
We always have enjoyed staying at this place. Clean and comfortable. Safe for our dogs. Close to town and waterfront. This place has got everything we need to relax. Fruit bowl and luxury muesli never go unnoticed.
The cottage was lovely, just as pictured and great location close to town. Was lovely having the outside space too and the whole property was very clean. We would definitely stay again we loved it
Such a delightful place to stay. Hosts provided us with everything we needed plus more. Very clean and tidy, lovely breakfasts to enjoy. Hosts communicated well near arrival time very friendly. I would thoroughly recommend this delightful wee cottage, and friendly hosts. 10/10 in my books. Thank you for an awesome stay. All the best
Really lovely stay, loved the bathroom amenities and little touches around the house. Good communication. Plenty of off street parking if more than 1 car is needed.
Nice weekend retreat, comfortable with lots of little extras including breakfast muesli/yogurt and some lollies which my son loved. Would highly recommend and would stay again if we need to visit Napier again. Thanks for your hospitality.
Amenities were excellent. Tea kettle needs to be descaled. Iron sole plate is scorched. Needs cleaning.
Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2026

A nice little place to stay.
Excellent location, very handy to central Napier, easily walkable.
Off street parking a bonus.
Extremely clean and well kept.
Thank you. 👍😊
We loved it the minute we walked in. All bed linen and towels were of excellent quality. Our little dog was well catered for and there were lovely touches like peanut slabs, good quality coffee and pet bowls for our little dog.
We really enjoyed our stay. Listing was accurate. So many little extras were provided. Didi’s Place is one of the nicest places we have stayed in in NZ.
Really great place to stay- everything well thought out and all the details taken care of. Walking distance to the Artdeco area. Fully fenced for the dog. Nice and quiet. We have recommended to our friends.
We had a lovely time in Didi's charming little home. There were lots of thoughtful touches - like extra toiletries in case you forgot yours, a yummy breakfast and chocolate biscuits on the table. Everything was spotlessly clean and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was also great to have the fenced area for our dogs. And the dog beds were another nice touch. Overall, it was a great spot to spend a few days. Very handy to town too.
We arrived to a warm welcome, breakfast bits, tea and coffee and chocolate biscuits. Also a thoughtful bed and dishes for our dog. Lovely cottage and close to all amenities. Would certainly book again. Thank you.
Lovely two bedroom unit so close to Napier city & Ahuriri. Beautiful & clean & stocked with everything we required. Lovely extra touches that made us feel so welcome. Thank you so much
Enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Well presented and clean little property. Nice little extras of coffee and chocolate. Our 2 dogs loved the dog beds and great to have dog bowls provided. Small well fenced area for dogs in the lovely patio area. Excellent communication with host. Perfect location as close to city centre and easy to get too.
Couldn't ask for a better property and owners. Property was immaculate and had everything you would require except for a clothes dryer. The owner also provided a lot of extras which was very thoughtful and generous.
Great location. Clean and comfortable. There were lots of brochures for local activities, restaurants, etc. And there was a package of Tim Tams to welcome us. 😀
The property was everything the Book a Bach listing said it would be. Super clean, close to town and what was going on there and lovely little extras like a fruit bowl, Tim Tams etc. Highly recommended
Everything we needed (except for fly spray, which we didn't manage to locate!) and so many little extra touches to make us feel welcome, like the flowers, biscuits, muesli and yoghourt, not to mention all the helpful info. Thanks heaps for letting us use your place. We had a great stay. :-D
