Cobden Garden Homestay  

Perched on Bluff Hill in Napier, this 4-star bed and breakfast is about a 12-minute walk from the city centre and an easy stroll to Napier Beach and Marine Parade. Close to Bluff Hill Lookout, Memorial Square and the Pania of the Reef statue, with McLean Park ~2.2 miles away and Hawke’s Bay Airport ~3.7 miles.

A colonial Bluff Hill villa vibe meets cosy bed-and-breakfast service. Rooms are en-suite with king or twin options, air conditioning, fridge and private bathrooms (some with sea views). Relax on the veranda, in the guest lounge or the extensive garden. Expect a friendly, slightly romantic atmosphere — unobtrusive resident cats included.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. There’s a sun terrace, garden and full-day security, plus laundry and safety deposit boxes. Complimentary pre-dinner local wine and hors d’oeuvres and a generous breakfast are part of the stay — wake up to sea-breeze mornings when you have a sea-view room.

Free Wi‑Fi and a guest computer make it easy to check emails between sight-seeing and meetings.

Start with a generous cooked breakfast and enjoy complimentary local wine with hors d’oeuvres before dinner. Room service is available, and excellent nearby spots serve fresh local seafood and oysters, including Bistronomy, Pacifica Kaimoana Restaurant and Hunger Monger.
