Official Description (provided by the hotel):: 5* McHardy Lodge is a beautifully restored 1896 residence situated in a quiet cul de sac on exclusive Napier Hill, close to all the attractions of Art Deco Napier and the wineries, golf and gannet colony of Cape Kidnappers and the award winning dining experiences of Hawkes Bay. The Lodge has a wealth of rich native Kauri timber and antique furnishings. The suites are dressed with fine furnishings and linens, with luxurious beds to sink into and relax. Spacious bathrooms feature claw foot or deep tub baths and large showers, making them the ideal place to relax and unwind. Relaxation is not confined to your suite.

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.

“Exquisite house”

Reviewed 13 April 2013

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

“Absolutely fabulous!”

“Top Notch”

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

“Amazing”

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
