We arrived at a busy time for our hosts, but Murray and Mac (small dog) greeted us warmly with wine and salmon on pancakes and gave us a guided tour of the modern facilities. Our downstairs room was spacious and adjacent to it was a guest lounge allowing us both privacy and the opportunity to share with others (if we... More

We discovered this B&B through the i centre in Napier, and really enjoyed our stay. They were really roomy bedrooms, comfy, clean and well stocked ensuites. My mother who is in a wheelchair found it good as far as the bathroom facilities went. Her kingsize bed was very comfortable but it was quite low and a little difficult for her... More

We had the very good fortune to choose to stay with Murray and Jacquie at Helm Crag for the 2012 Art Deco Festival. Not only were they fantastic hosts but also gave us great tips for our stay in the rest of NZ. Looking forward to the 2013 festival! Judith and Andrew, Brunswick, Victoria, Australia

We stayed 2 nights in Helm Crag whilst touring New Zealand's North Island, and enjoyed the quiet location in a charming neighbourhood, high above the centre of Napier. It is situated on quite a steep hill - not easy to walk down to or back up from the town centre, but near the Botanic Gardens and only short car or... More

We were warmly greeted, treated to a glass of wine, and then offered a ride to our dinner destination, all within 30 minutes of arrival. The rooms were comfortable and well thought out, with everything we needed. It was great to also have use of the spa... More

Our reservation was made through I-Site in the town of Napier, rebuilt in the art deco style after the earthquake of 1931. Murray and Jacquie Sutherland were our hosts and greeted us after taking a walking tour of Napier and we were tired. Ellie is somewhat impaired because of severe back problems and difficulty climbing stairs, so you can imagine... More
