“Perfect place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2013

I have stayed at The Landing Napier on several occasions, in each of the three great rooms. On this visit I booked the Bayview room for the wonderful view looking out over the port and Napier harbour. The sun coming in the windows during the day, and the beautiful sunsets and lights at night make it a perfect place to... More

“Comfort and style”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2013

Jill and Alan are great hosts, being friendly and proactive with recommendations and kind offers to ferry you to restaurants. Their home is stylish and stunning. Our room had every convenience you could want and nice touches to make it feel more special. The view, over the bay and container port is a mixture of wow and interesting! Jill was... More

Hello Pip, Thank you for the review. Glad you enjoyed your time here at the Landing -"sunny Hawkes Bay" lived up to it's name as well. Yes the hill is steep -but we are always happy to run guests around, or a taxi is an inexpensive alternative to the walk back up after a great meal out. Hope to see... More

“The Good Life”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2013

If you are only going to just stay one night in Napier, like my wife and I did, this is definitely a great place to be. We arrived on the late side and got up relatively early, so our stay was brief. However, the host, Jill, was very welcoming and super friendly. She made us feel right at home. As... More

Hello Usher, Thanks for the review. We're glad you were able to stay, and enjoyed your time here. There is something about watching the water -it is certainly relaxing. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip -perhaps you'll get back for another visit. regards Jill More

“Go for the view, stay for the hosts!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 March 2013

The host of the Landing, Jill, was our favourite thing about Napier - she was so warm and welcoming, and she even drove us into town so we could have a few drinks with dinner. The view from the property is sensational, and breakfast was yummy. Just excellent!

Hello there- thanks for the review. I thought that was great being a "favourite thing" -I enjoyed meeting you both, and having a chat. I am now working my way through the icecream fridge at the supermarket -not that I needed much encouragement! - but it is hard to beat the local Rush Monroes icecream I was telling you about....

“Great place to stay. Superb hosts.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 March 2013 via mobile

Stayed at The Landings or two nights. Had a great time with Jill & Alan who couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. The house lends itself so well to B&B with excellent views across the port to the bay. Accommodation couldn't be faulted in terms of cleanliness. Breakfast was good and varied. If you want to walk into Napier... More

“Less keen than other reviewers”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2013

We stayed here due to the complimentary reviews we had read. We got a good deal, as we booked on the day before, however we feel that compared with other places we've stayed at in New Zealand, the normal rate is over priced. Jill was very friendly and helpful, even driving us into town for dinner. The room was clean,... More

“Best accommodation North and South”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2013

Jill and Allan are very genial hosts who could not be more accommodating and were a pleasure not just to meet but to chat to. The views from the house are stunning and the glass walls make the most of the outlook. Jill makes homemade chocolates,biscuits and muesli and provides lots of nice unquantifiable little touches like a sprig of... More
