With palm-lined streets, world-class Art Deco architecture and the Pacific Ocean on its doorstep, Napier CBD is one of the most attractive retail and business hubs in New Zealand. The inner city is a progressive, vibrant shoppers' paradise and is easy to get around due to the compact layout. There are endless dining options, a diverse range of art galleries and design stores, and you'll never be too far from a great coffee.
Taradale is a ten-minute drive from downtown Napier. It’s a self-contained, residential suburb with its own relaxed, village hub. It’s home to the Mission Estate and Church Road Wineries, two of Hawke’s Bay’s oldest wine producers. The Mission Concert is a local institution that has been bringing international live music acts to Taradale since 1993.
Five minutes by car or an easy ten on the cycle trail, Ahuriri is a seaside port settlement on the other side of the Napier hill that has evolved rapidly from being the exclusive domain of mariners and sea dogs to a very cool satellite of Napier with its own unique vibe and a growing list of cafes, bars, restaurants, galleries, apartments, and boutique stores.
Westshore is a great spot for a seaside escape with plenty of places to stay and it’s within easy walking distance of Westshore Beach - a great spot to stop for fish and chips to enjoy the sunset. Westshore is also on the Hawke’s Bay Trails so you can nip along the trails towards Ahuriri for a bite to eat or head the other way towards Bay View for some scenic cycling along the coastline.
