We loved this property! Very clean and comfortable. Great location to aquarium and beach; however, note that the closest beach is not swimable, as advised by signage. The beach is lovely and a great place for walking or flying a kite. Great communication with owner, early check in granted to accommodate working schedule, and milk in the fridge. Lovely stay and hope to return!

Magpie Cottage was a delight. A traditional older property near the south end of Marine Parade, it has been sympathetically restored, with lots of thought. It’s really spacious, has everything and more that you could possibly need, a lovely garden, I could go on!Leslie the owner was kind and great with us.Only disappointment was that we couldn’t stay longer.Super.

Everything was clean and tidy and well set out. Just a shame that we arrived the afternoon of the horrendous weather that affected the upper north island and we had rain and wind for almost a full 2 days of out 3 day visit. Napier put on sparkling weather as we left lol
