Napier accommodation

Cobden Garden is the perfect bed and breakfast retreat in Napier. Offering a warm welcome and generous hospitality in an elegant colonial villa. Traditionally decorated but with modern facilities to provide for your every comfort.

Immerse yourself in the history, in the tranquil garden and enjoy the song of the many birds who make this established garden their home.

Located high on Bluff Hill with extensive views, Cobden Garden is just a 12-minute walk or 3-minute drive from the heart of Art Deco Napier City in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand.

Choose one of three spacious, thoughtfully furnished bedrooms with king size or twin single beds and modern en-suite bathrooms.

Indulge in the sumptuous breakfasts made from fresh local produce and in the memorable pre-dinner social hour with local wine and homemade hors d’oeuvres.

Hawke's Bay has a reputation for fine wine and food and we certainly make use of local produce to prepare your choice of breakfast from the menu.

Having hosted in the area for nearly 21 years we are knowledgeable about the "must dos". From touring the Art Deco, CBD to cycling the many trails, visiting the gannets or the cute penguins at the National Aquarium and taking the drive or walk to the summit of Te Mata peak there are many options.
Recommending restaurants and activities to suit your inclination is something we do well.

Rayma and Phillip make every effort to make your stay extra special and memorable.

Biddy and Brin welcome you to their architecturally designed waterfront home offering warm hospitality, stunning sea views and beautiful sunrises from the comfort of your bedroom. We also offer cosy surroundings and a continental breakfast. The B&B suite consists of a private lounge (with TV, Netflix, fridge,tea/coffee making facilities) a separate bedroom (with queen bed and quality linen) and a private bathroom with spa bath and separate shower.
Enjoy the views across the beach towards Mahia, Napier port and Bluff Hill. Experience the magic of the sun rising out of the Pacific Ocean and on those special nights the full moon rising over the sea! As we are on the National walkway/cycleway, you may enjoy a walk or a cycle (we have bikes available) soaking up the Hawke's Bay sun. Most days you can enjoy a swim in the sea, right in front of our house followed by a welcoming hot spa.
Napier has many events over the summer including the Art Deco celebrations, the Mission winery concert and Church Road winery Jazz concert. The world class Cape Kidnappers golf course and gannet colony are a 30-minute drive away. There are also many wineries to visit and warm balmy evenings to enjoy.
