Dear Angela and the County Hotel Team, We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for the truly wonderful stay we enjoyed at your beautiful hotel in Napier. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the charm and elegance of your boutique establishment, but even more so by the exceptional hospitality shown by you and your staff. Natasha’s warm welcome and personal escort to our room set the tone for what became a memorable experience. The restaurant team delivered a fabulous meal with impeccable service, and even the cleaning lady brightened our day with her warmth and cheerful smiles. It was a genuine pleasure to find a hotel that embodies the timeless values of care, courtesy, and personal attention—qualities that are all too rare in today’s larger hotel chains. You’ve created something truly special, and we feel fortunate to have experienced it.

We had a very pleasant three-night stay at The County Hotel. Natalie and Angela are wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcome. Our room was spotless and tastefully decorated, and both the breakfasts and dinner were excellent. The hotel’s central location was ideal, and we look forward to staying again.
