Hilltop on Milton

It was spacious for 4 people. Quite a quirky property. We were only there for a short time so didn’t do any cooking, but it was very well equipped for those who like to do their own catering.

Car parking was difficult. Some furniture was uncomfortable.

Very generous provision; fresh bread, milk, tea&coffee, cereal.

Single bathroom makes it less suitable for bigger party.

Not too expensive , classic example of “you get what you pay for” Located close to city centre Owner allowed early check in which was appreciated .

This place is very old and cluttered and quite depressing . Beds and pillows uncomfortable and all linen past their use by date . Parking for one car however access is tricky as 1mtr drop off making parking quite difficult .

Lovely host with a fantastic array of organic milk, bread and eggs together with fresh fruit and tea and coffee. Lots of room to spread out together with a sun drenched deck.

Parking was quite tight but you can leave cars out on the road.

The comfort, the amenities, and the host made it a great holiday accommodation.

Nothing

Wonderful older home. Great for a family. All amenities were included and some lovely touches like eggs, milk and bread provided.

Parking is tight but doable for a larger vehicle

Really nice house with quaint features and decor. We loved the fact that there were board games and appreciated having some essentials stocked. Close to all attractions.

I would have loved a fan in the room, although it rained it was quite warm.

Being welcomed in person added a truly personal and thoughtful touch to our stay. The generous provision of eggs, milk, butter, bread, oranges, pears, a lovely selection of teas and infusions, chocolates, lollies, and even pies went well beyond the usual hospitality standards we’ve experienced when booking accommodation in New Zealand. The house itself is rich in history and heritage, which made our stay even more special. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm, memorable, and well-hosted stay.

Due to my spinal surgery, the bed was not as comfortable for me personally. That said, the room itself was very spacious, well-appointed, and immaculately clean, which we greatly appreciated.

The location was good. The owner was welcoming and provided some breakfast including eggs, milk, bread and chocolate.

The washer/ dryer machine was not able to dry the clothes well.

Beautiful old house full of books and games, a lovely place to stay.

Very friendly. Great communication before arrival. Very well equipped, especially for our young family. Great location. Lovely bonus of breakfast staples and wine left for us on our arrival. Thank you!

We found the parking to be ok (great that it was off the street), but would be tricky to get in/out of if you didn’t have reversing cameras or someone to help guide you.

Everything was just perfect and made for great stay.

We loved everything about our stay here in Napier. Wakefield and Rowena have great communication, which made the lead up smooth sailing. We loved the character of the house and the location was very central.

No physical key we received a key code and we’re met there by Wakefield, the person managing the house. Access was easy and trouble free. We loved staying in this home so much that we extended by another day. The home has 3 bedrooms, high ceilings a full kitchen and laundry and the bath was a bonus as where the epsom salts. Wakefield was a pleasure to deal with and very helpful and very hospitable leaving us bread, milk and eggs. A great arrange of tea, coffee, chocolate milk. It was great to hear about the little about the house and its history. The bedrooms were fantastic with beautiful linen and plenty of pillows. Everything was clean and beautifully presented. Lovely French doors to the deck area - one off one of the bedrooms. A huge range of interesting books to read, if you have the time. So much to do in Napier and this home is very central to everything. I cannot speak highly enough of this home. A true home away from home. No issues for us with the parking. If you’re looking for a place in Napier this one has to be high on your list. We would definitely love to stay again and would highly recommend it.

This house has great attention to detail and I cannot think of anything that would need to be improved. 10/10 from us.

Beautiful home, only concern was parking.

The house is beautifully presented, large and has everything you need. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped and they had bread, milk, butter and some juice in the fridge on arrival. Fantastic place.

The host was very welcoming and provided everything and more to help us get settled. The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of hot water and everything we needed in the kitchen.

Beautifully presented, close to town. Read, butter, milk, eggs and full range of veggies from the garden were supplied.

There was nothing to not like.

Location and the service

A beautiful heritage home. Very nicely decorated. Very spacious and comfortable. The best equipped home I’ve stayed in. The kitchen has everything you’ll need. Close to the city and sights.

I liked everything. Just to flag that the driveway and one carpark in front of house is more suitable for a small to medium car. I parked my large car on the street. My brother was able to park his smaller car in front of house. From the road I walked up the drive just a few metres.

Beautiful old villa in a wonderful location (road was a little noisy at night with some inconsiderate drivers racing occasionally) Fabulous garden with vegetables that we were invited to eat. House full of interesting books and fridge full of food. Beds were comfortable and Wakefield was amazingly attentive during a area wide power cut

A little dusty in places, had to clean all the spiders out of one room.

A real home away from home feel.

Bit of a hill to and from town centre.

Very, very good. A lot of thought and consideration from the hosts. Excellent hosts and accomodation. Good location.

No negatives at all. Excellent stay for 4 nights.

Location! Perfect stay for our 4 day stay in Napier. House was tastefully decorated to suit its age and style. Loved the balcony and utility room. Thoughtful touches like fruit, bread, milk and butter, assortment of teas and coffees were provided.

It was a comfortable, well equipped historic home within a few minutes drive of the city centre and shops.

Nothing.

It was a well-appointed old home, with loads of character. Perfect for two couples to share. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glassware, and pots and pans. We all felt it was a comfortable place to stay. Access to town and the port was easy and taxi costs reasonable. The owner is very helpful and lives nearby. The character features and vintage collections around this home are delightful. We all think we will look to stay here again.

Having only one full bathroom was a bit of a juggle for four, but we worked it out. The driveway and parking is a little tricky. But does have an off-street park. You just need to take care with the approach..

Beautiful heritage home set on the hilltop close to the Napier CBD. The home was very well maintained and equipped for our stay. Beds were very comfortable

The driveway is very steep and although you can drive out of the driveway onto the street it is hard to see the traffic coming from either direction, fortunately Milton Street is not very busy. There is street parking if you don't like the driveway.

A lovely rustic house with beautiful rooms and features. Plenty of facilities and room to accommodate a large group of travelers. They provided us with some love cheese and delightful bottle of wine to help us settle in. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation.

Access off the street to the accommodation was tricky as was maneuvering the car in and out of the parking spot. This was only a minor hassle.

Brilliant house , met at door by host , food they left out for us was brilliant and much appreciated (eggs ,Milk ,Vogels and some fruit )

cant think of any thing here

Very spacious comfy house, with lots of interesting stuff in it. To quote grandson it has 'an old vibe but with all the modern technology'. We absolutely loved staying here. Very generous host with lovely lot of quality provisions. Great location to e plore Napier City.

I'm being very picky and a bit tongue in cheek -- but having the instructions for the washing machine and dishwasher close to the appliances would have saved me several treks up the hallway. On the other hand it is a lovely hallway with lots of interesting books to catch my eye on the way.

The host is very friendly, caring & understanding..Good communication & prompt reply. Providing breakfast is a very sweet touch to make us feel like home. It is an amazing house with a unique character. Great range of Coffee & tea selection. It has everything you need. Offered late check out when requested.

It was a lovely house. full of things to look at. there was a great range of items in the fridge, that was unexpected. The overall size of the house was fantastic for a group of 4.

the two king-single beds are horrible! I'm so sorry to have to write this because we had a wonderful stay, but those beds need to be replaced!! they were like sleeping on the floor. they were hard and uncomfortable. Myself, 34yrs old and a 13yr old both now have sore backs that still haven't come right 4 days later. I have had to book in with a physio theorist. i would also suggest changing the living room chairs. trying to watch a movie on the green single chair wasn't practical however there was no other option. I also ripped my nail from the nail bed trying to open the front door as there is no handle on the inside.

Loved the character of the nic knacks, ticked all the boxes and we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks

Ease of access to the city and all its attractions. Spacious and very warm rooms. Loved the veggie garden and fruit tree garden much were free for us to enjoy.

Clean, complete extra touches like bread and milk

A beautiful home and host that was very warm and inviting on arrival . We were surrounded by history and the family owners warm spirit is evident all over the house, I highly recommend Hilltop on Milton. It was clean, well equipped and our host Wakefield was very friendly and accommodating. Just perfect being 1min away to the city centre where our gathering was held.

The location is close town.All the extra food and extras for all of us.

Nothing

Everything needed for breakfast was left by host. As we are older the location was OK as we had a car.
