Spacious and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The owners popped over to say hello which is always nice. Only a short walk to the center of historic Napier town. Wake up to the sounds of birdsong - coffee on the private terrace what more could you ask for!

We loved our stay at Colenso Cottage. Great facilities, a super comfortable bed and an amazing shower. We met Katie (the owner) and she was so friendly and approachable. Would not hesitate coming for a return visit.

There was nothing we didn't like. We loved it.
