Perfectly situated for exploring Napier whilst being out in the peace and quiet of the country. Jes and Eileen are perfect hosts, welcoming and friendly whilst leaving you to do your own thing. The food and wine were delicious, the lodging comfortable and homely. We have already booked a return trip. More

We very much enjoyed our stay with Jes and Eileen. We enjoyed the tranquility, beauty, and privacy of the lodge and we enjoyed getting to know our hosts. This was our third experience with what we came to call the B&B&D: bed and breakfast and dinner. Because we found driving on the left side of the road challenging, we had... More

Lovely room with balcony overlooking gardens and vineyard. Everything we needed, with good wifi and ample breakfast. Nice quiet location.

The hosts - Eileen and Jes - were particularly nice and welcomed us with a wine and nibbles reception when we arrived, recommended us places to eat... More

Breakfast in the morning was consisted of fresh fruit,... More
