From the moment we pulled up to McHardy Lodge and stepped through the massive front door we knew we were in a special place. Yvonne welcomed us with gentle grace into this most impressive home, explaining its rich history and showing us around the property. Our room was spotless, well equipped and we were made to feel very comfortable. Yvonne... More

A lovely view of Hawks Bay. The most accommodating hostess, Yvonne. Truly a one of a kind bed and breakfast! The restoration of this historical building is impeccable. Attention to detail is superior. We highly recommend this beautiful home. You will not be disappointed.

This must be one of the best B&B places that we stayed at in NZ - a beautiful house in a prime spot in Napier and our room (the Venice) was exquisitely furnished. Yvonne made us very welcome and spent a lot of time giving us the options for restaurants in the area (she cooks an excellent breakfast too). Sadly... More

Although we had been to NZ before, we had never been to Napier so weren't sure what to expect. However, the town, area and hotel far exceed our expectations.

This is simply excellent accommodation. And Yvonne's hospitality is wonderful. Our room (Venice suite) was spacious, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. The bed was huge, comfortable with fine linen. The bathroom was large, and well provisioned. Towels were super soft. Breakfast was always just right, and Yvonne always on hand to help and guide us to special locations, restaurants, vineyards... More

We spent two nights here during February and would have loved to have been able to stay longer. It is an historic old house which survived the 1931 earthquake and has had numerous uses over its long history, including some years as a maternity hospital. It has been lovingly and sympathetically restored to the highest possible standard. The fittings and... More
