Everything! Great location, walk to everything. Super cosy and comfortable, but loads of room. Pillows were great and shower was hot and had good water pressure. Super, super clean. Lots of thoughtful touches to make it special, and everything you need has been thought of. Breakfast was very well catered, and dietary requirements were respectfully considered and catered to. The photos totally undersell the place, just a really great experience. Thank you for having us Guido! Our only wish was that we could have stayed longer 😊

Carrying our over-packed suitcases up the stairs...first world problem lol

Great location, very sweet little B&B on Marine Parade, with the beach and parks on the other side of the road. Our host, Guido was kind and helpful and gave good advice about parking nearby (there are many parking restrictions in Napier). The room was cute and cozy and clean. We were in the room closest to the closed in sun room/veranda where breakfast would be served. Breakfast is self-serve and there are only enough tables in the sun room for two of the three rooms to be in there at once. We spent part of the breakfast eating in our room until someone left. We had a pleasant visit with the other guests, which is the nice touch of a B&B. One recommendation we would have is that the linens be transitioned to 100% cotton, which they are not at this time.

Staying in this 119 year old guest house adds to the experience of staying in Napier, a city that embraces its 1930s architecture. However the facilties were definitely 21st centuary! Our host, Guido, was friendly and shared interesting local info willingly. The continental breakfast was excellent. Sea Breeze is highly recommended for an overnight stay.

The room was a little on the small size, though comfortable, and a larger person may find the shower a little challenging. Also there are stairs to get to the rooms which may be difficult to navigate for some people.

We loved our stay at this hotel. The room was delightfully decorated and very comfortable. The bathroom was adjacent to the room, but we didn't mind that at all. It was large and spotless. The continental breakfast was great and included some homemade conserves. It was eaten in a small front room that looked towards the sea, which was lovely. The location was great for walks along the coast and easy access to the town and eating places. Our host was so helpful, we were grateful of his care.

The property is ideally located on marine Parade. A 10m walk in either direction will get you to the main CBD or to the aquarium. There is a bus stop 5 minutes round the corner where you can access buses that will take you into Hastings and Ahuriri. I stayed in Room 3, it is well equipped with a large double bed, tea and coffee making facilities and mini fridge. Has a private bathroom next door and is separated from the other rooms in the property by a privacy curtain. Breakfast is a selection of cereals, toast, fruits, which can be eaten in the lovely sunroom that has views of the beach. Guido is a great host, very communicative and happy to help. My flight back to Auckland wasn't until the afternoon but he was happy for me to stay in the sunroom after checkout time while waiting for my shuttle pickup.

The host was incredibly friendly, very helpful. The room was clean and had a lot of little touches that made the stay so much more amazing. If we'd had time we would have extended our stay. The breakfast obviously had a lot of love put into it with homemade marmalade and honey. We also love filter coffee so that was a fantastic surprise. You sometimes find in B&Bs that you feel you're lacking a little privacy but not here. There was an incredible sun room for having breakfast in that was beautiful and looking out over the water. The room had plenty of space and great amenities. If I could rate it higher I would.

We had the lovely Indian themed room, which had a separate bathroom. The room was very comfortable, nicely decorated and very clean. There's a curtain to pull in front of both the room and bathroom doors to give more privacy, which we really appreciated. Breakfast was self service from the kitchen, which you can eat in the sun room overlooking Marine Parade. Cereals, toast and the owner's honey. Location is great for all Napier's attractions, and there was plentiful free parking. We had a great stay.

The property seemed a little quirky but in a good way. Wonderful and spacious rooms, lovely hoist (who very kindly carried our heavy cases to our room much to our gratitude). Right on the sea front and close to many restaurants - the location couldn't be better! Yet despite this we enjoyed total quiet at night ensuring a decent sleep. Parking nearby at no cost (the hoist told us best place to park and its very close by). Overall a decent hotel at a decent price.

The only let down - and I stress the word 'only' was the breakfast. It included coffee, cereal, fruit, toast/jam and yogurts but perhaps a little extra such as cheese and ham or an egg would have made a huge difference.

Location on the esplanade was central to town, easy walk to restaurants. Clean and comfortable. Good practical kitchenette. In keeping with the art deco theme. Guido the host was very helpful. His suggestion of visiting Mission Estate winery was excellent which is the oldest winery in Hawke’s Bay with so much history.

No parking on site but free parking on the street in front between 2pm and 10am which was fine for us as we only had one night there.

The location was super. Close to the main town centre and the sea front. Our host Guido was very helpful and provided a very good continental breakfast with homemade marmalade and honey. Our room was well equipped and nicely decorated.

We were warned about the lack of parking but found free parking close enough. We had been told that the area was noisy from the local idiots driving loudly and aggressively at night and so it proved.
