Best rental ever!
We stayed at Didi’s place for a month and wished we never had to leave. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home, but better. We felt cocooned in comfort and thoughtful details to make our stay the best it could be. The decor is beautiful, furniture and beds comfy, backyard a cozy oasis of greenery, and kitchen and bathroom thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need. And it smells good! We would love to return!

Most charming B and B
It was as though a very caring friend had supplied everything we needed - even to cooking salt plus a salt grinder - great beds, lovely linen, fresh and clever decor, a private little back oasis and drive up to the front door parking. I have emailed all my friends likely to go to Napier to make sure they book well ahead to enjoy Didi's Place ... and the walk to everywhere location is a plus.
