The Landing  

The hosts, Jill and Alan are extremely hospitable and it was truly a pleasure knowing them. Jill makes incredible breakfast, and both of them make us feel very much at home. I have stayed in a few bed and breakfast before, and I have had the best experience with Jill and Alan. They are also very knowledgeable people, and their home consist of souvenirs from their travel. Every little thing in the house, has a bit of history (and maybe mystery) behind them. Apart from that, their humble abobe has the best view in Napier (in my opinion). The view is spectacular, and on the second floor (where the seaview bedroom is), you get a 270 degrees view! They would also give you a lift into town if you need one. They also would share their personal reviews of the cafes/restaurants in town. I havent been disappointed by their suggestions during my two nights stay. In short, my friend Ameline and I were glad to have picked the Landing. Will definitely head back and stay at the same place if we have the chance.

What to not like about the place?

Jill and Allan, our hosts were extremely helpful and could not do enough for us. They really made us feel at home. Breakfasts were wonderful.

Jill and Allan are very genial hosts who could not be more accommodating and were a pleasure not just to meet but to chat to. The views from the house are stunning and the glass walls make the most of the outlook. Jill makes homemade chocolates,biscuits and muesli and provides lots of nice unquantifiable little touches like a sprig of rosemary on the table at breakfast (a rose on valentines day!). The complimentary bottle of wine and first washing load just add to the welcome. If you are fit Bluff Hill is a nice challenge to walk to Napier but not for anyone with mobility problems. However Jill will almost certainly offer you a lift to your restaurant and a taxi back is only 12$ approx. IIf you start comparing prices with other options in nz like say a Top Ten or even a city hotel it is relatively expensive but we thought it worth every penny. We loved it oh and the free Wifi that works when you are travelling in a different time zone is worth it's weight in gold. If you can get in just book it and pay the extra for the suite on the front with the great views - you won't be disappointed.

Jill and Allan give an exceptionally warm welcome and their service was superb. Please do not change a thing.

Warm welcome with friendly hosts. Every effort was made to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Exceptional view from the balcony and living room

Wonderful B&B with a spectacular view of Hawkes Bay in Napier. Jill, the hostess, was very friendly and willing to provide excellent recommendations for eating out. Both rooms have very nice accommodations and the bottle of wine that comes with the room hit the spot. Very relaxing place to stay.

Carrying my heavy suitcase up the stairs.

Found both Jill & Allan to be hospitable, very helpfull with any request, The view from the front balcony was excellent. Breakfast was also excellent ,10 out of 10 (quality ) We had one of the best stays there of the whole trip

I can not think of anything negative

Very friendly, hospitable hosts. Lovely rooms one of which has great sea views. Would definitely go again.

Jill and Allan were fantastic hosts, who were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The view from the B&B is wonderful, overlooking Hawke's Bay in Napier. Jill makes a terrific breakfast in the morning. Rooms were spacious and comfortable.

The views and hosts were the best nothing was any trouble and Jill and Alan are the best hosts ever. Best breakfast in New Zealand, where else can you have a breakfast of choice and watch orcas in the bay.

A wonderful welcome to Napier. Genuine hospitality, great information about the region, superb views from lovely comfortable rooms. Perfect recipe for a relaxing break.

Fantastic hospitality, amazing views and great food!

Accueil très chaleureux au sein de leur famille. Nous ont offert une bouteille de vin blanc Petit déjeuner sur mesure Vue splendide sur la baie

Vue donnant aussi sur le port ou débarquent les containers (bruit)

Sauber, geräumig, extrem nette Gastgeber.

Friendly owners

Stairs, 24 hours of noise from port, having to walk outside the bedroom to use the bathroom. Expensive for what you get.

Allan the host was very informative and helpful.

The hosts were fantastic - they drove us into town in the evening so that we didn't have to worry about driving or getting a taxi. Had a great outside area that was private so were able to sit out and talk and enjoy a bottle of wine before heading out to town (which was supplied by The Landing - a lovely Sav Blanc)

The street was very narrow and the directions to get there were a bit confusing.
