Homestay Bed & Breakfast

Welcome to our new website

Wel­come to our new web­site. Thanks to my son and his girl­friend who are help­ing and encour­ag­ing us from Lon­don, as this is all very new to us.

We have lived in New Zealand all our lives — Napier in fact — apart from an eigh­teen month work­ing hol­i­day ten years ago. Dur­ing our time over­seas we stayed in many and var­ied B&B’s and loved the expe­ri­ence. Hence the rea­son for start­ing our own home­s­tay. We so missed meet­ing all those new and inter­est­ing peo­ple and we had the room so decided to share our beau­ti­ful home with like-minded people.

I’m going to use this blog to write about our home­s­tay, Napier and vis­it­ing New Zealand. Both John and I are pas­sion­ate about home­s­tay­ing and we are con­stantly thrilled and stim­u­lated by the delight­ful and inter­est­ing peo­ple we meet. We have often dis­cussed this with friends and have con­cluded that peo­ple who travel may be espe­cially inter­est­ing and genial. We’re look­ing for­ward to this sea­son and most par­tic­u­larly see­ing again the peo­ple who stayed with us last year. I expect we will again have great fun dress­ing up and shar­ing clothes for Art Deco week. It is always enchant­ing shar­ing the fun of dress­ing up our grand­chil­dren with our vis­i­tors. These lit­tle peo­ple, when they are around, also enjoy meet­ing our guests.

How blessed are we. As I write this I real­ize we have what every­body wants, a job that is both stim­u­lat­ing and fun. Well that wasn’t so dif­fi­cult, my son will be proud of my first attempt at writ­ing a blog.
