Things to do in Napier
Art Deco Atmosphere
Napier, nestled on the coast of Hawke’s Bay Wine Country, is world famous for its fine Art Deco architecture, drawing thousands of visitors each year.
Immerse yourself in the elegance of Art Deco style by exploring the streets of central Napier on foot. Guided Art Deco walks leave regularly from the Art Deco Shop and Trust – located directly across the road from The Tennyson. Ask the friendly staff at the hotel about other historical tours.
Napier is beautiful all year round, but really comes alive in summer during the Art Deco Weekend. This festival-like celebration is held annually in February.
Take home your very own authentic Art Deco piece from one of Napier’s many excellent antique shops.
Relax...
Enjoy long, sunny days, and the fine wine and food that come from the Esk Valley, Bay View and the Hastings area. Eat at one of Napier’s fine restaurants and then enjoy a stroll along Napier’s famous and beautiful waterfront promenade, or enjoy a live show at the Municipal Theatre.

Napier is a classic seaside town, preserved in pristine 1930s condition, with mini-golf, an outdoor soundshell, public gardens and public salt water swimming pools. It is also home to the National Aquarium.
