We stayed at the Green House on the Hill for a long weekend and loved it. We were in the ensuite room, which was well-kept and cozy, with all the amenities (TV, DVD player, radio, CD player, books, games, refrigerator) we might have wanted. Ruth made lovely breakfasts and had great suggestions for things to do around town, and the... more

We had a lovely couple of nights at the Green House on the Hill. We felt like we had been staying with family friends and would definately stay there again if we were visiting Napier. Ruth and Jerry were great with our 21 month old daughter. Thanks! more

Trip advisor has nailed this one. Ruth and Jerry are lovely hosts and certainly made as feel at home. When a host treats you as good as this, there really is not much you can say. Our little man (5 months) was welcomed with open arms and the breakfast was spot on. We certainly recommend this place to anyone with... more

We had a really great couple of days with Ruth and Jerry in Napier. Wonderful location with great views. Breakfast was superb on both days, especially the museli, bread and smoothies! We also did a bike tour of the local wineries and I'd like to say a special thankyou to Ruth for being our taxi! Fingers crossed we will coming... more

We are Steve & Veerle from Belgium. The B&B was very nice. Very friendly hosts and when we needed something, we only had to ask. One of the first things we saw on arrival is that we could order pizza by delivery. :-) So we did and even with ordering the host helped :-). The breakfast was very nice. We... more

The Green House was a wonderful B & B - quiet, self contained, good views and wonderful breakfast which we had on the terrace overlooking the town. It is only a few minutes from the town up a steep hill, but well worth the walk. We would have stayed longer if we had more time. Will definitely stay there if... more

Napier is a delightful town to visit. The art deco, wineries, gannet tour, etc. all make for a great place. This B&B is real close to downtown, yet in a very peaceful setting in the woods. The breakfasts were fine, altho we do prefer cooked. The hostess, Ruth, is pleasant, cordial and helpful, and we had a lot of good... more

The Green House on the Hill has had many very positive ratings and in terms of the quiet surroundings, its location to town (10-15 mins walk) and some of the amenities (such as washing facilities), it does tick many boxes. However, my overall experience (in two areas particularly) left me somewhat underwhelmed. Firstly, my room wasn't serviced, which I consider... more

I was saddened to read you comments about your stay with us. I do wish you had mentioned your dissatisfaction whilst you were here. Your room was thoroughly cleaned prior to your arrival and I usually do not clean on the 1st morning if our guests are only staying two nights. To be perfectly honest it's not normally necessary and...

I stayed here for a few days around the christmas period in 2006. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating! Breakfast overlooking the sea was a definite highlight! The rooms were of a good size and the beds were very cosy! more

This B&B has it all - we were very impressed with the whole package at Ruth & Jeremys. Thanks for the gorgeous fresh fruit put in our room for our early departure. It was really appreciated. Very handy location indeed. Thanks for your fabulous hospitality. Leanne & Pete more
