Cobden Garden

We had a wonderful experience staying at Cobden Garden. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautifully presented, with attention to every little detail. Hosts Rayma and Philip were incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights of our stay was the daily happy hour at 6pm, where guests were treated to delicious home cooked canapés paired with beautiful wines from local wineries. It created such a warm and relaxed atmosphere and was a fantastic touch that made the experience even more special. The breakfast was absolutely delicious with fresh, high quality ingredients, and the peaceful atmosphere made for a very relaxing stay. Rayma and Philip went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed during our stay. Highly recommend Cobden Garden to anyone looking for a comfortable, friendly, and memorable getaway in Napier, Hawkes Bay. We would definitely stay again!

An absolutely fantastic place to stay. Highly recommend. Beautiful and spacious room and bathroom. Our hosts were the most lovely people and breakfast was incredible. If you are staying in Napier then this is the place to stay 🌸

There was nothing not to like

Spacious quiet and ideal location . Beautifully appointed traditional house .

Nothing

Very comfortable home

A little tricky drive up to the house…especially when I am used to driving on the other side of the street!

Fabulous house and both Rayma & Phillip were so welcoming and helpful. Brilliant breakfast, comfy bed, spacious bathroom, and everything you could imagine you may need. Additional wine tasting and canapés was a bonus!

Cobden Garden is a charming, warm, inviting homestay that makes you want to stay longer.

Rayma and Phillip are very generous and make you fell like home in every possible detail. The breakfast is espectacular

Quel accueil de Rayman et Phillip qui se mettent en quatre pour vous faire plaisir. Superbe chambre avec une salle de bain très moderne dans une maison traditionnelle. Petit déjeuner remarquable. Un vrai B&B de haut niveau.

Lovely attention to detail.

A perfect welcome in a beautiful house. Rayma and Philipp are lovely and very helpful hosts. Breakfast with Vivaldi in the background, can it get any better? We liked everything as simple as that!

Nothing what we can think of.

Sehr sehr liebe und zuvorkommende Gastgeber, sehr leckeres Frühstück, 6pm winetasting, das gesamte surrounding war einzigartig.

The most welcoming and convivial hosts, a superb property, and excellent food.

You could not ask for better hosts than Rayma and Phillip! They take such good care of their guests with so many small touches that set them apart from the average bed and breakfast experience. We enjoyed our room and the view from our window, as well as the very comfortable bed. But the highlight was truly the chance to interact with our hosts. We so enjoyed the nightly cocktail hour and a chance to chat with them there and also at breakfast. You feel like you are staying with friends. Rayma’s breakfasts are bountiful and outstanding, and we so appreciated Phillip’s advice on a day exploring the area. We had such a great time going to the places he suggested. The places they suggested for dinners were great.

I am only sorry that we did not spend an additional night

Rayma and Phillip run an exceptional b & b! Their attention to detail is unbelievable. The bedroom was large and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with many home cooked options, and so many other lovely touches such as tea and cake on arrival, wine tasting early evening etc. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay more than 1 night! Easily the nicest place we have stayed in on our trip so far.

Nothing!

Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Beautiful character building with large, very comfortable bed . Sumptuous breakfast

All wonderful

Everything was perfect including location, cleanliness, facilities, breakfast, "happy hour", and especially the hosts

Character property with lovely spacious comfortable rooms and great views. Our hosts Rayma and Philip were fantastic providing wine and snacks on their veranda before we went out for dinner. Great breakfast too!

Nothing

The breakfast was outstanding, there was so much delicious food, you hardly could eat all and had to make some tough choices what to leave out.

Superb friendly welcoming hosts Rayma & Phillip run a high class B&B with every aspect catered for down to the last detail. Refreshments were offered on arrival. Drinks and homemade canapes both evenings with them and other guests was delightful. The breakfasts were restaurant standard and simply delicious. One of us is an early riser who made good use of the guest lounge both mornings which commanded a spectacular view over Napier Port area and beyond. Highly recommend this exceptional B&B.

Our hosts hospitality was exceptional. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home. Our entire stay exceeded all expectations, it was absolutely wonderful.

Great location, beautiful property with stunning views. Hosts are very welcoming and attentive. The room was very comfortable, and breakfast was delicious.

A beautiful boutique style b&b with an incredible effort to the small details,which make it a true delight ! Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer !!!

Absolutely nothing !

High level of attention to detail, lots of lovely touches including cleaning our windscreen before we left!

This is the best bed and breakfast establishment we have stayed in. The accommodation is very comfortable and the hosts are lovely, nothing is too much trouble. They add lots of little touches to make your stay enjoyable.

Nothing, it was perfect

Location was great, hosts were friendly, room was comfortable

Beautiful home, delicious breakfast, friendly hosts, garden and location great.

Was all good 👍 There wasn't anything I didn't like.

The wonderful hospitality from Rayma & Phillip, along with their beautifully presented home. Every little detail and care taken, made my visit feel so special.

There is nothing lacking at all. My stay was perfect.

Very friendly, helpful, caring hosts. Lovely environment, facilities and breakfasts.

Beautiful location and a very well presented property. The hospitality was exceptional. The hosts were so lovely. Highly recommend

Nothing at all

　The room layout is very elegant, the landlord is warm and hospitable, and the breakfast is always great.

Nothing

A delight from beginning to end. The room was exactly as reflected - actually we felt like we had won the jackpot. Rayma and Phillip were just a fun couple with huge amounts of knowledge both of the area and in how to have the best of accommodation. Fabulous breakfasts and evening drinks where we got to chat and learn more about the area and local wines that flowed freely. Fantastic digs. Recommended them already.

Fabulous Cooked to order. Great menu Everything was fresh. Hosts would speak with you or not depending on your preference

Reyma and Phillip are the best hosts, and endeavor to provide the complete B&B experience for their guests. They include appetizers with wine tasting while they sit down with you and spend time to get to know you. Oh, there was port in the room along with chocolate, coffee or tea for your morning before a complete breakfast in their lovely dining room. And we were upgraded to their best room, large with spa bath and double sinks. Most amazing, and this has never happened in 40 years of traveling, Phillip cleaned our dirty windshield just as we were packing up to leave. So on a scale 1 to 10, they're a 15.

That we couldn't stay longer, but we got out just before the Cyclone Gabrielle arrived.

We spent only one night at Cobden Gardens but we wished we could have stayed longer. Rayma & Philip are the most amazing hosts - friendly, helpful and we really enjoyed sitting down for a glass of wine with them and other guests when we arrived! The made-to-order breakfast was amazing in the beautiful house. The room was big & clean with a nice view. We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back.

We had an amazing stay here! The hosts were so welcoming and even called to make a dinner reservation for us. We were able to spend some time with them before dinner and during breakfast (which was delicious!). The house was beautiful and clean and in a great location. Highly recommend this place for anyone staying in the Hawkes Bay area!

Big spacious bedroom and bathroom, very comfy bed and lots of little touches which all add to the enjoyment of the stay. Particularly nice to sit on the outside deck in the evening and share a drink with the very hospitable hosts. Nice touch to get guests and hosts alike chatting away sharing experiences. Lovely outlook over the garden too. A most generous breakfast on offer to start the day.

A quiet residential area but some very steep paths around the area and not suitable for all.

Great hospitality !

All good...no issues

Rayma and Phillip were so friendly. We enjoyed our 6pm glass of wine and chat. The breakfasts were great. It was perfect. We were picked up and taken back to our bus stop in the city

There was nothing we didn't like - we even enjoyed the long uphill walk back to Cobden Garden to wear off our evening meal.

Cobden Gardens was a lovely place to stay. Phillip and Rayma were exceptional hosts who made us feel right at home and were gracious hosts. The room was lovely - with plenty of room and a beautiful view of the countryside. It was close to the central business district restaurants and they even called to set up a dinner reservation one night. Each evening there was wine and snacks on the porch overlooking their garden which was a delightful addition to our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Napier and with Phillip and Rayma.

Beautiful house and room

Great guest house with old-fashioned service. The room and bathroom are gorgeous. Loved the evening drinks, conversation and fabulous breakfast.

Nothing however the stairs could be an issue for some people
