You'll love our summertime blues!
High on the Napier Bluff, the romantic House of Pania BnB is nestled in a large coastal garden with unimpeded sea and port views. The house is named after the Maori mermaid, Pania, whose reef is best seen from the clifftop at low tide. Opening out to an inground pool, the suite has been carefully decorated with just a little magic in mind. Enjoy the shuttered Kit Kemp-inspired bedroom or the coastal vibe of the tongue-and-groove room with a view over the pool and out to sea. Take a swim or choose a book from the 1000-book library and sink into a bathtub or sun lounger for some well-earned me-time.
The details
Your getaway
To ensure your privacy Pania accepts only one reservation at a time for up to 4 guests, sorry no children.
Breakfast at Pania
Pania is a sleep-in kind of place, so feel free to request your breakfast at a time that suits you. If you are an early bird and want to eat with the sunrise, that's fine too.
Barbecue gourmet basket deal
Let us take the hassle out of dinner. You will have a choice of 2 meats, plus 3 delicious salads, rolls, and a summer dessert. You barbecue, and we do the rest! Eat by the pool or take the Weber to the beach!
Bathing at Pania
The in-ground swimming pool(seasonal) is for your exclusive use - check out the weir's handmade tiles depicting reef life.
Also available is an outdoor bath, especially positioned in the upper garden among grape & passionfruit vines and citrus fruit trees. From there, you can view the Pacific Ocean and pick lavender to drop into your water. In the evening, relax and listen out for the ruru's hoot.
Getting to and from Pania
If you are driving, there is plenty of parking and free EV charging. Airport shuttles and taxis are available, and current Uber prices are approximately $26 Pania to the airport and $10 Pania to Napier's Art Deco City Centre.
