L'amour Nest

We love your accommodation it's peaceful, beautiful, and just outstanding in every way. We plan to spend every anniversary here

Absolutely fabulous place to stay, spacious grounds with native birdsong. Thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful property on the shore of the lake. The on-site restaurant had delicious food and the staff were lovely.

We have stayed in many places during four months of travel, and this was our favorite because of the hospitality, thoughtful designed accommodations, delicious home-baked and grown treats, and peaceful garden. It’s a great location for bike riding and nearby wine tasting in Hawke’s Bay.

Wat een super mooie en aparte plak om te verblijven! Je hebt echt het idee dat je in een boomhut zit, maar dan wel met alle comfort. De host is echt super aardig en attent en had ook nog eens gezorgd voor een borrelhap en heerlijk ontbijt. Absolute aanrader!

The location was perfect amongst the trees and a short drive to all amenities. The design of the space and the facilities made our stay a delight. The lovely welcome cheese board and drinks plus the home baked bread were a special treat that was much appreciated and enjoyed. All in all a very memorable stay and a highlight of our visit to NZ.

Stunning modern design, surrounded by a lush leafy garden which you can walk around and explore, very private and luxuriously fitted out. Many welcoming touches, such as beautiful flowers, French pastries, cheeseboard, chocolates, bubbles and delicious breakfast items. Spacious, and designed to take advantage of the beautiful garden aspect. Perfect for a romantic getaway, but also right in the heart of Napier. The location is on top of a very steep hill, so having a car is recommended.

There was nothing we didn't like, it was a really well thought-out experience. One suggestion is that as the apartment is not serviced daily, for a longer stay like ours (3 nights) it would be useful to have a dustpan/broom for sweeping up crumbs etc.

This idylic hidden gem is Napier's best kept secret. The perfect retreat to reset. From the moment of arrival, Host care/comfort for the guests was obvious, the complimentary nibbles and refreshments, cheese board, pastries, breakfast supplies. And then the chalet, state of the art with beautiful Art deco touches, set in a breathtakingly beautiful garden/forest. Native birds visting within reach, Kereru, Tui,Piwakawaka,Finches. Ash-Leeigh,Trude and James we can't thank you enough. Bernadette, Shea.

There was not one thing not to like.

Peaceful, beautiful spot. Very well appointed and comfortable accommodation. Extremely well equiped and generous offerings.

Exceptional stay! Amazing location amongst the trees and the birdsong. Hosts were so welcoming and the food and little touches were perfect. Close to city and its attractions. Even closer to botanical gardens. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Great location, views and an amazing interior Owners have thought of everything

Incredible property and hosts! Everything has been thoughtfully considered and included. Beautiful garden and views - it feels like you're sleeping in the trees.

Truly exceptional stay within an absolute oasis of native bush in the heat of Napier

A gorgeous well thought out space. Very private and the nice little gifts that the hosts left were perfect. We enjoyed our stay amd were able to relax in this tranquil spot while still being close to the city. We will definitely return.

Nothing, we loved everything

Property was beautiful, even better in person. So thoughtfully designed and furnished - very comfortable, beds were amazing and incredibly peaceful yet in the middle of Napier. The arrival goodies was a very pleasant surprise, as was the breakfast. This was a lovely place and will definetly be back!

An oasis in the middle of the city! Beautiful gardens and impressive villa.

Nothing - it surpassed our expectations

Excellent property with great facilities. We wanted a few relaxing days at the end of a long trip. The property and its surroundings were ideal, beautiful gardens and sitting areas. The welcome pack was much appreciated and included all the basics to start your stay. Also enjoyed the BBQ and being able to cook a simple meal was a bonus. Enjoyed the local restaurant recommendations on other nights (walk down the hill to town and taxi back). Great stay, we really enjoyed it and highly recommend.

Hard to pick any issues with this property.

Privacy. Seclusion. Quality. Host was great.

Awesome spot. Clean, well designed and nice touch with snacks etc left for us.

Quite simply the accommodation was amazing. An excellent location with great facilities and lots of little extras upon arrival. The communication from the hosts was excellent too. Definitely a place in Napier that we would stay at again.

Nothing. I only wish we'd been able to stay longer.

Everything was great.

All the little extras on our arrival, made this accommodation outstanding. Delicious food and drinks in the fridge.

High level of interior finish with a very comfortable bed. Lovely towels and bedsheets. The overall experience though for the price point fell well short of expectations.

Heavy building works taking place that started at 7.30am and really caused a disturbance. The view from our chalet was not as shown in the property details, we overlooked a building site. Trees had been lost in the storms, and also it appeared were cleared for building site, so the outlook was quite different from that illustrated. We understand this isn't in control of the owners, but it felt misleading that they hadn't made guests aware. We booked a chalet with a balcony, but were allocated one without. Things listed like the bbq were not available, we were told this needed to be ordered in advance not at 2pm for evening use???!! The outside area is unsuitable for anyone who isn't 100%steady on their feet. The 'special touches' like the cheese board are just a couple of baby bell cheeses and a laughing cow cheese spread! We could go on, but all in all way overpriced for what you get. Response from management was just either ignore or say she'd let the owners know. Really was a 'couldn't care less, we've got your money' attitude.

We LOVED this little piece of heaven! The whole place! The gardens, the fresh fruit, the birds, the beautiful accommodations!! All the details they put into making you feel at home, priceless. And the location was PERFECT!! 5 min from everything! We will stay again!!

Top quality accommodation. Ideal location in a very safe area of Napier. Host met us on arrival and gave us a quick run through of all the amenities and made us feel very welcome during the stay. Little details like the recommendations for restaurants and bars provided were well received.

Amazing surroundings, tasteful decorations and and extremely kind host. It was a highly on our the wells NZ tour. Highly recommend!

Beautiful accommodation with the loveliest view

The breakfast was perfect. But even before that, when we arrived, there was a cheese board and Prosecco that the hosts had prepared for us. It was such a nice surprise! A bowl of fruits and everything for a very nice continental breakfast the next day. The garden area was astonishingly beautiful, with a mix of wilderness and manucured areas. It was like being in the wild but really, dominating the town. The chalet decor was done with a lot of care and taste.

Nothing

a wonderful welcome and a wonderful stay.Everything was perfect...included a delicious breakfast

Bathroom/shower was awesome

No cooking facilities

They provided a lovely little breakfast but I brought my microwave poacher with me so I could poach eggs as well !!

Everything was really superb - the location in the forest was gorgeous, maybe some screens though so doors and windows could stay open ?

Peaceful forest getaway in the heart of Napier. Chalet and amenities were 5star

Automated light in bathroom would light up the bedroom if you used the bathroom in the middle of the night, waking anyone sleeping

A beautiful and peaceful place to stay loved it will definitely go back ❤️

There was nothing I didn't like

Absolutely outstanding. Our stay there was an experience second to none. The design, decor, attention to detail, added extras and ambience exceeded all expectation. Simply wonderful.

Super luxurious and comfort place for a special stay. Loved the bird song in the mornings and the lovely furnishings. The snack board and breakfast supplies were a beautiful and thoughtful touch to make our stay perfect. The location was handy for popping into town (by car) and walking around the botanical gardens. Access was super easy and the instructions and welcome letter were great, with thoughtful recommendations

Stunning! Photos do not to this justice!

We loved this place. Saddened that it takes us 2 flights from Australia to get there!

L'amour is in the perfect setting with views over Napier and the Ocean. The property was immaculate and everything had been well thought-out. Perfect for the two of us.

everything. well designed, charming and cozy. lots of thoughtful touches that add to the feeling that you are in a special place. quiet and serene but five minutes from a variety of restaurants and the beach. loved it!

nothing

Nicest room we've ever stayed in! Feels like you're in a luxurious tree house. Beautifully decorated and lots of lovely touches, from a mini cheese board to a ready to go beach bag. The bed is super comfy and the shower is excellent! Would highly recommend for a special occasion.

There is building work on site at the moment so a word of warning if visiting over the coming few months, as you may hear some noise from 8am which could slightly spoil a lie in or the tranquility of the gardens.

Comfortable place with an amazing garden.

Everything was great.

Would highly recommend staying here at L’amours nest. My partner and I stayed on our wedding night, was such a treat. The hosts went above and beyond. The views were unreal. The chalet has everything you need. Was clean and cosy. 5 star accomodation/service

.

We stayed from the 21st-23rd January 2023 in Kauri. Loved the chalet and the outlook. Very quiet and serene. The grounds are fantastic for a walk around. The bed and pillows were amazingly comfortable. The comfy chairs to relax in were wonderful. Loved the table to have breakfast etc at. The bathroom is excellent and included everything you needed. Shower was perfect. The chalet is a luxury experience and it delivers. We were left nice options for breakfast to enjoy. The parking is easily sign posted on the street and then you drive down the drive, park and then walk down a short path to your chalet. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and the hosts left us a lovely surprise which was a lovely gesture. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary at. I highly recommend for a special occassion.

Nothing. They have ticked all the boxes.

Really appreciated the goodies on arrival

Beautiful hidden gem. Lush surroundings and stunning residential interior space. Can’t fault it! We loved our stay and wished we stayed longer.

Can’t think of anything - top marks all round

Very unique upmarket accomodation

No desk for working

The property was amazingly beautiful, comfortable & well appointed. The hosts are extremely thoughtful and all the extra touches made the stay even more fantastic.

Absolutely nothing

Everything! The landscaping and surrounding environment is hands down some of the best I have experienced. Especially in a residential setting. Amazing.

There’s nothing not too like.

Beautiful, well thought out, like staying in a luxury tree house
