About this property

Bluff Hill Lighthouse B&B

The amazing location and breathtaking panoramic views are some of the best in Napier. Situated 400m from the Bluff Hill lookout overlooking the Port of Napier and Hawke's Bay the Bluff Hill Lighthouse B&B is one of a kind. The property was once allocated to have a Lighthouse placed on but this planned Lighthouse for Napier was never built there. Views and B&B position is therefore quite unique.

The funky self-contained apartment features a separate entrance and an "open plan" layout with a kitchen and lounge area. There is a main bedroom with a queen bed also a second bedroom for friends or children if required. The accommodation is clean and comfortable with free Wi-Fi and stunning views.

A continental breakfast is included in the tariff of the accommodation however because a fully functioning kitchen is there all basic food items for a breakfast will be provided and guests can putt the food together themselves. Eggs, as well as milk will be left in the fridge. Bread and continental breakfasts items are found in the pantry.

The story of The Napier Lighthouse:

Originally the Napier Lighthouse was to have been sited on Lighthouse Road at the top of Bluff Hill in the reserve set aside by the Hawke’s Bay Provincial Council (recent picture below) but for economic reasons (to reduce running costs), the light was eventually mounted behind the local gaol (Prison) on Coote Road behind the prison garden. Now, The Bluff Hill Bowling Club is on that old historic reserve and the Bluff Hill Lighthouse B&B is located in front of the Bowling Green where the Napier Lighthouse was originally planned, commanding one of the best views in Napier overlooking the Port of Napier and all of Hawke’s Bay.

The four bedroom house is divided in half and each unit consists of two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room separated by a soundproof wall. The custom designed B&B is completely private with separate access to the B&B.

Guests at the Bluff Hill Lighthouse B&B can play Bowls

If you are a professional bowler, a competitive player or just want to have a go for the first time, you can play here as a guest anytime.

You can play anytime and I will arrange a time for you. Why not play or have a go if you stay here. Bowling is a relaxing, fun and stimulating game.

If you are visiting Napier as a competitor to play bowls, the Bluff Hill Lighthouse B&B is the ideal place to stay in Napier.

The Bluff Hill Bowling Club is the oldest natural green in Hawke's Bay and a unique place to play.

Quirky and very comfortable
Great quality of breakfast supplied. Interesting decor. Warm and comfortable Only downside is that the kitchen as advertised no longer has a means of cooking food except a microwave and an egg boiler. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Napier visit
We are enormously grateful to Mario for allowing us to stay at his wonderful property. The location is fantastic. The house is beautifully decorated and full of interesting pictures, objects and ornaments. These create a welcoming and interesting atmosphere. Mario generously provided more provisions than he needed and this made it very easy to settle into the property. Thank you

What makes this property unique

Walking distance from the beach, city center and the port of Napier (1km). The best position a house could possibly have, right on top of a hill and sea views all over Bawke's Bay.
