Ahuriri is a small boutique village 5 minues drive from the Napier CBD. East Pier in Ahuriri offers a lovely location with the rooms having ocean views with free on site parking. Studio room was spacious and the bed so comfortable. On site restaurant is ideal for those who dont want to venture out for all their meals. There are plenty of good restaurants, cafes and bars in walking distance of East Pier or you can drive into the CBD (5 minutes) if preferred or to one of the many wineries around the district. Check-in and check-out was easy. Staff were friendly and helpful. On site storage for bikes was ideal for us, as were the handy bikes trails.

The room was very comfortable and very quiet. Restaurant and bar staff were extremely friendly and helpful, unfortunately I didn’t like that it was a sports bar setting and the meals were limited in selection and some dishes seemed a little pricey.

Would have liked to give 5 stars, but....

Our check-in was delayed in the reception - not fault of the adm in lady, but.... it was dissappointing considering we had plans that afternoon - and that wait time chewed into what we had hoped to have time to do. The room (ground floor with 'ocean' view) was lovely, the bed super comfy, the view to the inner waterway (not ocean) was good enough. Bathroom was a good size but the shower pressure was very poor. Good to get 4 towels even though we didn't use all of them. Kitchenette was small but functional for our one night needs. The night was long - party time for the guests close by on their balcony - they talked really loud right till 2 or 3 in the morning. No fault of the hotel, but it would have been nice to have had a phone number to ring to get someone to tell them to shut up! A long sleepless night. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant so can't comment on that.
Milk given - tiniest bottle - a miniature and lucky I didn't take milk, just hubby (not that they asked), because he had just enough for himself. Really? Cannot think of any reason to give such a tiny bottle the size of a nail polish bottle.
