Awesome cottage in a fantastic part of Napier

Excellent quality accomodation, ease of checking in through to lovely furnishings and extras - cotton towels, body wash, washing up liquid etc. Great location a few minutes drive from central Napier or walking distance if preferred. Fully fenced section which was child friendly, and great heating options for those colder nights. Thanks again team.

Lovely stay on the hill

Greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. Comfy beds (love the feather down pillows and Duvet!) the house is well appointed and has great shower pressure. Made use of the Webber Q BBQ out the back and the island kitchen is great. Will be staying here again for sure. Thanks Mary for being such a great host.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Massara

Host profile image
I moved to Napier six years ago and love the Hawkes Bay. I am happy to assist with suggested activities or help in any way but also respect your privacy and will only be available if needed.
I live nearby with Betty, my cavalier king charles spaniel who is friendly and we often stop by and say hello upon arrival.
Please feel free to ask any questions or let me know if you have special requests. I can stock the frig with some basics if required.

Why they chose this property

101 was built in 1924 and has a charming cottage look. I purchased the property 5 years ago and it was in total disrepair. I did a complete renovation and pretty much rebuilt the entire interior. It is now fully insulated with two bathrooms and many modern amenities.

What makes this property unique

A wink and a nod to the iconic US highway - you will find all the comforts of home here at 101 !
The home is only used for airbnb and a thorough clean is performed after each stay. A perfect situation for traveling workers as you have a full kitchen and laundry. No need to eat out. Groceries can be delivered from local grocery stores as well as several takeaways via uber.
Fast, unlimited broadband supplied.
Efficient gas fire provides heat and ambiance. Full kitchen complete with all you need to cook or just hang out. Off street parking is available for up to two cars and yard is fully fenced.
Pets allowed but please only by prior arrangement and approval.
Sunny and private outdoor living with 4 seater table with umbrella, weber BQ and bean bag chairs.
Please note that there is extensive use of down bedding (pillows, comforters and pillow top mattress pads) as well as down bolster pillows on couch (this is posted for those with allergies).
All bedding is 100% cotton.
Full kitchen with gas stove, full oven, dishwasher and everything you need to cook. Also perfect for executive travel in the time of covid as you are able to work from the property with unlimited hi speed wifi and can cook or have meals/groceries delivered to your doorstep.
