Loved it! My comfortable room had everything I needed, and more. The B&B is just up the hill from the Art Deco Center, only a couple of minutes from the city center. Ruth is a lovely host who provided a wonderful breakfast on an outdoor deck that looks out, above the treetops, to the Pacific. If you don't mind being... more

This B&B is well located within walking distance to the city centre. The host (Ruth) is very friendly and helpful. The room is well appointed with a private entrance and a good supply of information on the area. The ample continental style breakfast was fresh and wholesome. There is an excellent range of DVD's to watch in the privacy of... more

Sometimes, I read reviews on here and wonder whether i should believe the hype. With the Green House, i am happy to say I did as we spent the most wonderful weekend at this B & B. It really felt as though Ruth & Jerry were old friends and it was sad saying goodbye we enjoyed our stay that much.... more

I stayed at this B & B for 2 nights recently and it was great. I really appreciated the warm welcome from Ruth when I arrived and the cleanliness of the ensuite room after arriving from a terrible hotel experience the night before! The room had everything I needed - great bed, coffee/tea facilities, Sky tv and DVD player. There... more

Our room was lovely and warm on a miserable day in Napier and we were warmly greeted by Ruth. The facilities were all that we needed and did not have to bother Ruth for anything as all was available such as plates and cutlery to eat our supper. Our only disappointment was in that we had read the advert wrong... more

Thanks for taking the time to write your review. You did read the description correctly, I put you in the en-suite instead of the room with the little lounge! I'm so sorry! I promise to get the room right next time!!

I had the pleasure of staying in the B&B quite recently. I cannot recommended this place highly enough. Perfectly located about five minute walk from the centre of the town, this B&B is quiet, comfortable and close enough to the 'action'. I stayed in the ensuite room and have no complaints at all. All of the amenities are provided for... more

We stayed at the Green House on the Hill for a long weekend and loved it. We were in the ensuite room, which was well-kept and cozy, with all the amenities (TV, DVD player, radio, CD player, books, games, refrigerator) we might have wanted. Ruth made lovely breakfasts and had great suggestions for things to do around town, and the... more

We had a lovely couple of nights at the Green House on the Hill. We felt like we had been staying with family friends and would definately stay there again if we were visiting Napier. Ruth and Jerry were great with our 21 month old daughter. Thanks! more

Trip advisor has nailed this one. Ruth and Jerry are lovely hosts and certainly made as feel at home. When a host treats you as good as this, there really is not much you can say. Our little man (5 months) was welcomed with open arms and the breakfast was spot on. We certainly recommend this place to anyone with... more

We had a really great couple of days with Ruth and Jerry in Napier. Wonderful location with great views. Breakfast was superb on both days, especially the museli, bread and smoothies! We also did a bike tour of the local wineries and I'd like to say a special thankyou to Ruth for being our taxi! Fingers crossed we will coming... more
