“Napier Beach is without a question one of my favourite beaches in NZ. The dark grey sand/stone beach design and the fact that this place keeps getting more developed and utilised is actually great for the region. I visited recently, and had previously visited in 2016 and the changes were insane. Normally I would complain about tourism growth but I would much rather visit Napier than the Mount, as it fits my personality more. This is a beach and town that really requires a stay at a bach or hotel as there is plenty to see and explore along the coastline that I have not delved into yet.”

“Karaoke on a Friday night!! Lots of fun”

“First time here and will definitely be back as the food is nice and fresh and the staff are friendly. They also have a great selection of gluten free items. Love the wide open spaces, the seating, and the general vibe.”

“If you are coming to Napier, the Art Deco Masonic Hotel is the perfect place to stay. The rooms are clean, fun, and comfortable. We originally only had a booking for 2 days but loved Napier and the hotel so much we booked an extra 2 days at the hotel. Victor at reception, and all the hotel’s staff, are very kind and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location, everything is walkable from it, and you’re right in the middle of downtown art deco center. When we return to Napier we will be staying at the Art Deco Masonic again!”

“Best Fish & chips today awesome meal thanks”

“Thanks for the great coffee and good vibes!”

“This is my first coffee in Napier. I was looking for nice coffee with small snack and good atmosphere. So searched Google but couldn’t find it. And when I drove to Kmart with kids. It suddenly showed up in front of me and I could feel it. So I came back after Kmart. And it was perfect for me. Thank you so much!”

“Finally found our new coffee place since moving to Taradale. If you are after a nice coffee and a snack, this is 100% the place to go. Great staff were very welcoming and attentive, had a cappuccino and Apple and Blueberry Muffin (best blueberry Muffin I've had in Hawkes Bay) to share with my partner in the nearby park. Looking forward to our new weekend ritual.”

“Lovely spot to stop on your drive up the coast. Fresh fruit & veg plus stellar coffee. The owner is wonderful too. Recommend!”

“Fantastic breakfast place with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options ranging from smoothies, bowls to bagels and toasties and even breakfast porridge. You can customise you own toast with whatever you fancy. Granola bowl and Smoothies are delicious. Coffee is good, but bit bitter for my taste. Service very polite and friendly”

“This was the best meal I've had at a restaurant in ages. Attentive and friendly service, pleasant surroundings. The food was fantastic, great value for the money. We enjoyed the gnocchi with oyster and lions mane mushrooms, as well as the perfectly cooked tarakihi fillet with asparagus, shredded fennel, wilted greens and salsa verde. A good wine list and beautiful Little City kombucha completed our meal. We will be back next time we're in this part of the country.”

“Really tasty meal and great vibes! It’s always hit or miss finding a good burger as a vegetarian but I really enjoyed this one! Hubby raved about his beef burger too.”
