description
We run a vegetarian bed and breakfast, 5 mins walk from the heart of Art Deco Napier yet surrounded by trees, a quiet woodland setting with views of the sea and Cape Kidnappers.
Your hosts, Ruth and Jerry, are originally from Somerset, England, but have lived in New Zealand for 14 years and this area for most of that time. Our interests include walking, gardening, travelling, genealogy and the internet.
We offer WiFi internet access for only NZ 10 cents per Mb as well as free email access and international and national phone calls! We aim to provide a smoke free and peaceful base for your holiday.
Art Deco Napier
Devastated by an earthquake in 1931, Napier was rebuilt in Art Deco style, and many of the buildings have been restored to their original state, making the Art Deco tour a 'must do' visitor attraction. There is also an Earthquake Tour.
Tours to the Gannets at Cape Kidnappers, one of only 2 on-shore colonies in the world, is a popular trip, especially along the beach on old tractors and trailers!!
Hawkes Bay is also famous for its many wineries and vineyards and recently , olive trees have been planted making olive oil a welcome addition to our bountiful fruit and vegetable production. We use local produce as much as possible in our kitchen. There are a wide variety of cafes and restaurants within walking distance and the beach is only minutes away.
We are happy to provide transport to and from Airport or buses etc. Our home is set amongst mature trees, with plenty of native birds to be heard, and even the odd Possum sighting! We can also arrange sightseeing trips and wine tours....Just ask if you are interested.

how this holiday makes a difference
 We offer friendly, smokefree accommodation, encourage use of local facilities and endeavour to act responsibly environmentally. As much as possible we recycle, use organic local produce, reduce waste, promote local businesses and network. Recommend local businesses, network with them, shop locally.We are only 5 mins walk from the centre of Art Deco Napier, yet it seems like a different world up here in the trees! the house is set in quiet woodland (mostly Oaks) and we offer a peaceful, smokefree setting for your stay. Napier was rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in 1931, and the buildings in the town centre are of the Art Deco style. There is a very active Art Deco Society who work hard to preserve and restore the buildings and many visitors travel here from all over the globe to enjoy our unique city.  Hawkes bay has much to offer the visitor with it's wineries, beaches,walks and scenery. we are living in the centre of 'The Fruit Bowl' of New Zealand and the Farmers markets at weekends offer a wide variety of local produce of a high quality. In Hawkes Bay as in all of NZ, you are never far from an adventure travel opportunity! We also have Cape Kidnappers Gannet Colony 30 mins drive away and tours can be arranged to see them (October to April), either by tractor and trailer along the beach or by kayak. We are extremely environmentally concious and separate paper, cans and glass waste for collection by local authority recycling. We encourage guests to return unused leaflets and use long life low energy bulbs. Thermostats inside our hot water tanks are adjusted so heat output is not too high. We installed showers to encourage energy (and water) conservation. Guests are encouraged to re-use towels and are aware of our recycling policy. We offer details of shared transport options for tours. Cycle hire details available . Use of eco-friendly and cruelty free soaps and shampoos for guests, recycled toilet paper, towels changed only at guests request to reduce water and energy consumption. I use Trade Aid organic coffee for breakfast. We use the internet as our advertising medium reducing dramatically on paperwork re bookings etc and online booking facility. The few brochures we do produce for local use are printed as required at home on recycled card. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
