Great stay at Didi's place

We had a lovely time in Didi's charming little home. There were lots of thoughtful touches - like extra toiletries in case you forgot yours, a yummy breakfast and chocolate biscuits on the table. Everything was spotlessly clean and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was also great to have the fenced area for our dogs. And the dog beds were another nice touch. Overall, it was a great spot to spend a few days. Very handy to town too.

Great place to stay

We stayed with our small dog and it was very pet friendly and so close to the town. We walked into town for a coffee every morning. Will be trying to stay here again when we come to Napier. Very, very comfortable.

Our stay at Didi’s Place was absolutely outstanding! The location was perfect, situated in a great area that made everything easily accessible. The house itself had everything we could possibly need, making our stay incredibly comfortable. One of the most thoughtful touches was the warm welcome upon arrival—sweets, fruits, yogurts, milk, and cereals were waiting for us, making us feel instantly at home. The house exuded a cozy, family-like atmosphere, which added to the overall charm of our experience. Every detail was carefully considered, and it truly felt like a home away from home. Without a doubt, this was a 5-star experience, and we would love to return in the future! Highly recommended!
