What a find! A little gem of a b&b tucked in a leafy hillside just a short amble to the centre of Napier. We spent five nights here and loved every part of it. The hosts were very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were splendid. I loved Ruths homemade bread and jams. Our room was perfect... More

The Geen House onThe Hill is really handy for everything in downtown Napier and Ruth is very knowledgible and helpful about what to do and see in and about this charming city. You have to be a bit of a mountain goat to get there but it is well worth the climb and has a wonderful view from the breakfast... 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

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

Our trip to Napier was short but sweet - one of our trip highlights was staying with Ruth and Jeremy at Green House on the Hill. Could not ask for nicer or more convenient accommodation, great location near town center & bus stop at Info center. Rooms were very nicely appointed with wireless internet and mini-fridge. Ruth was extremely helpful,... More

We stayed two nights in September 2011, as part of our tour following the Rugby World Cup around NZ. The location is just 10 minutes walk from the 'Art Deco' town of Napier, at the top of a hill which offers superb views. Ruth is an exceptional host, who went the extra mile to ensure our stay met our expectations... More

Stayed two nights, such a brilliant B & B. Ruth was so friendly and helpful. Ruth recommended a lovely restaurant for my partners 30th and even gave us a lift to the winery for dinner. Very accomodating. The rooms are clean and fully equipped. Breakfast was great. Thank you so much for such a fantastic stay. More

Wonderful B&B, located a short five minutes from the heart of Napier. The owners were friendly and helpful, and catered to my vegan diet. I will stay with them again when I next travel to Napier. More
