Spacious two bedroom apartment in heart of Ahuriri

MaryRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Our group of four adults thoroughly enjoyed our time at Roz & Michael’s apartment in Ahuriri, Napier. The luxury apartment was huge, modern, spotlessly clean and appointed to a very high standard with quality furnishings, fittings, linens and towels. The bathrooms and pantry were well stocked. There was covered parking for two cars and lift access to the apartment making it easily to move luggage. The view was so spectacular we spent two of the afternoons, of our short time here, at the apartment so as to make the most of it. The hosts were easy to communicate with very helpful and I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone considering a visit to Napier.

A clear view of the sea is presented, with calm waters stretching to the horizon. A pebble-covered beach is visible in the foreground, and several trees line the shore. The sky is bright blue with a few scattered clouds.
