After a stressful drive to Napier with a shattered car window, it was lovely to see the welcome notice for us outside the house and to be greeted by Ruth, our delightful and helpful hostess. Having had to change our plans and book at short notice, nothing was too much for her. She advised us about Napier and helped us... More

We stayed with Ruth in October 2011. Green House on the Hill is a lovely house with a great garden where we enjoyed a fabulous home cooked breakfast each morning.

Charming B&B run by informative and well-organised couple - much thought has gone into catering for the guests. Well-positioned (close to centre of town) and easy to find. More

The B&B is perfectly comfortable, the breakfast was good and location is very close to town; but the real plus was the helpfulness of the hostess. We needed to make changes to our onwards travel plans and she could not have been more helpful. More

What a wonderful delight this charming B&B was. A late single night only booking was easily accommodated and such was the comfort found that I extended for a further 2 nights. My host Ruth was an absolute delight and arranged a number of side activities for me including the Grape Escapes wine tour (terrific host in Greg and specially catering... More
