A little piece of France nestled in the heart
of the beautiful wine growing region of Hawke's Bay.

Built as a Private Hotel in 1915, this grand colonial building, over looking the Pacific's breakers, is only a few minutes walk from the City Centre.

Now lovingly renovated, Mon Logis will cater to a maximum of eight guests and is modelled on the small privately owned French hotel. Charm, personal service and French Cuisine are the specialities. The Guest Rooms are upstairs, two have queen size beds and two have twin beds and all have their own private facilities.

Owners, Frenchman Gerard Flaschner and his New Zealand born wife Jacqueline, have decorated each guest room differently but in a style in keeping with the original charm of the building. Iron bedsteads, feather duvets, lace covers and fine cotton all create a special elegance and one room is totally furnished with pieces bought from France.

Downstairs an informal guest lounge invites relaxation, television viewing, a quiet time reading or perhaps a game of chess or bridge. Guests can help themselves to coffee or tea and biscuits any time of the day.

Breakfast, served in the privacy of your own room or downstairs Dining Room, could be a basket of freshly baked Continental Breads and Brioche, with a Compote of locally grown fruits or a wonderful Herb Omelette, Crispy Bacon and Grilled Tomatoes. Whichever is chosen certainly promises to be a most memorable meal.

Fine dining in the evening in true La table d'hote style, is enjoyed in a grand manner, surrounded by beautiful French furnishings, walls hung with rich artwork, the mood is set to appreciate a five course meal using the best of fresh local produce. It is here that Gerard's skills as an expert French cook come into their own.

However, should the choice be made to dine out, Jacqueline is happy to give recommendations and as a trained guide with the Art Deco Society, is competent in giving guests an insight into Napier's unique architecture.

All perfectly designed for comfort and relaxation Mon Logis is a non-smoking establishment and does not cater for children.
