Delia was a lovely host, going the extra mile to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. An easy walk to town, and a small but perfectly formed place to stay…

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

Our stay at Didi’s Place was absolutely outstanding! The location was perfect, situated in a great area that made everything easily accessible. The house itself had everything we could possibly need, making our stay incredibly comfortable.
One of the most thoughtful touches was the warm welcome upon arrival—sweets, fruits, yogurts, milk, and cereals were waiting for us, making us feel instantly at home. The house exuded a cozy, family-like atmosphere, which added to the overall charm of our experience.
Every detail was carefully considered, and it truly felt like a home away from home. Without a doubt, this was a 5-star experience, and we would love to return in the future! Highly recommended!

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.

We stayed with our small dog and it was very pet friendly and so close to the town. We walked into town for a coffee every morning. Will be trying to stay here again when we come to Napier. Very, very comfortable.
