More about us →Napier: The Art Deco Jewel of Hawke’s Bay
Napier, located on the eastern coast of New Zealand’s North Island, is a city that beautifully combines rich history, coastal charm, and a thriving wine culture. Originally settled by Māori in the 14th century, the region holds deep cultural significance. European settlers arrived in the 19th century, and the city flourished as a centre for trade and agriculture. Following a devastating earthquake in 1931, Napier was rebuilt in striking Art Deco style, earning its reputation as the Art Deco Capital of the World.
Surrounding Napier, Hawke’s Bay offers a landscape of rolling hills, world-renowned vineyards, and pristine beaches. Nearby towns like Havelock North and Taradale boast boutique wineries, orchards, and artisanal food producers. The iconic Cape Kidnappers is home to breathtaking cliffs and a thriving gannet colony, while Marine Parade in Napier itself offers stunning coastal views and family-friendly attractions.
Today, Napier is a bustling community with a strong economy driven by tourism and agriculture. Its unique blend of historical architecture, vibrant cultural scene, and natural beauty makes Napier a standout destination for locals and visitors alike.
