Everything that we needed was just there. Especially thrilling were the packs of ground coffee from Bay Espresso (Dark and Divine variety) to use in the plunger each day. The decor of the apartment was lovely, Parking was easy and it was a great location to get out and explore. Kylie at desk reception was fabulous with her advice, it was so helpful.
Stayed last night and this is one of the cleanest and most comfortable places I have had the pleasure of staying in. I work in one of the best 5 star luxury hotels in the world and I rate this place. Many thanks to Kelsey for making our vacation so much better as well.
Hi TeamSmith12
I'm glad you had an enjoyable, comfortable stay at Navigate!
It was a pleasure hosting you, we look forward to having you back in the not so distant future!
Kind regards,
Kelsey.
A very well positioned hotel. Quiet and yet close to great shops and restaurants - and the beach. Very close to Napier city. Great staff -helpful and friendly. The rooms are spacious and very clean. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Awesome weekend stay, great location, clean new room. Great king size bed (similar to our own).
Good information about what happens in Napier, nice Sol Café breakfast. Could easily come back ans stay some time
What a Great destination as when I resided in Napier some 34 years ago the Ahiriri area was drab NOW it's a Destination not to miss, famly decided that they (3) would hold their 60th Birthdays in this area
Great pubs Food and the View is just perfect; Spieghts Ale House and others offer a good selection of food
Hi johnbackhouse,
Thanks for taking the time to review your stay and I am so pleased to see you all had a great time. Napier is a fabulous meeting point when you have several groups / families coming from different parts of the country. Ahuriri in particular has grown to be a great base with easy access to both restaurants and many accommodation providers.
I hope to see you back for the next round of birthdays!
Kind regards,
Kylie
We spent 3 nights here on the top floor enjoying sea views and beside a few noisy Harley's (grrrr) a great sleep. The rooms are spacious and they have excellent double glazing for sound proofing and quiet air conditioning units. The super king size beds are extremely comfortable as are the pillows and the linen is good quality. The shower was really good and we will be putting the same shower head in our new home on the strength of it. There is good storage area in the bathroom for a couples toiletries, good towel racks (yep, some hotels provide nowhere to hang your towels. A wee pet peeve of mine) and good qualities towels. There is a large wardrobe area to hang your clothes with plenty of hangers . A small kitchenette is provided with fridge ,microwave and tea and coffee making facilities. The coffee provided is of an excellent standard! There is plenty of room to store your luggage and 2 chairs and 2 lounge chairs for relaxing in front of a large flat screen TV.
Even though it was a busy long weekend of the hotel we had absolutely no neighbor disturbance. Bliss.
The staff were very friendly and helpful with ample information to enjoy this wonderful town including cycle paths info etc.
There is ample covered parking and bike racks provided at the back of the garage.....but DO take your bikes off your roof rack before entering the underground car park. Why? ....figure it out for yourselves!
Opposite the hotel there is a great bar/restaurant and we frequented it several times as it was directly on the beach and offered great views and a friendly casual environment.
There a several good restaurants within easy walking distance and some nice shops. The Whales Tale is a 3 minute walk away. If you have never been in there you must! Its a treasure trove.
What we also loved about this location was that it is right on the cycling paths leading you, well leading you just about everywhere! 10 minutes to town (30 minute walk?) and directly to the winery trails and all the way down the coastal route to Haumoana. The cycle ways are a credit to this town. They are safe wide they all go somewhere!!
Would we stay here again? Most definitely.
Hi Ravinon
Thanks so much for the great and detailed review. There is so much to love about the hotel and the local area and I am thrilled to see you took the time to explore by foot and on cycle.
I hope to see you again the next time you are in Napier.
Thanks again and regards,
Kylie
