Family entertainment in Napier

“We stayed on the 5th floor in a twin double room. Rooms are clean and the view is delightful. We even found you can open the window when it’s not windy and enjoy the fresh air. Beds are comfy.”

“Comfy seats and theatre warm. Ques long and could have done with more staff.”

“A first timer here myself, our Waipatu Kōhanga Reo tamariki and kaimahi had a ball, the whole area is fun, lots of pretty colourful tables and chairs spaced out out nicely, private rooms thank goodness for all our bags and shoes, it’s safe and so child friendly from the play area for all ages to the toilet facilities. The food and drinks came with a wide variety for all ages, loved the bathrooms, they were spotless, there’s changing table facilities in the wheelchair access bathroom for our babies, handbasins I have never seen before in New Zealand and all the countries I have been too, they are ideal, our babies did not need help washing their hands and I just had to take a photo. Great experience, we will definitely be back, best child play area ever.”

“Fantastic service! I popped in on Sunday to speak to someone about a chair that my mother purchased - I believe it was faulty. We dealt with Tammy (who I believe was from the Hastings Store). She was brilliant to deal with, made the whole exchange process so simple, straightforward and painless. She was also extremely helpful in expediting this quickly, as our circumstances meant that time was in short supply. All the other staff were super helpful too. Can't thank you enough, Tammy, my Mum LOVES her new chair!”

HASTINGS FOCAL CINEMA AND CAFE for me is the best one Let everyone know if I was star rate I gave it a 5 if it was more it will be a Big 10 star rate for me keep up the service staff.”

“We had an excellent stay at Quality Inn Napier! From check-in to check-out, everything went smoothly. Staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Room was spacious, clean, and tidy, with two comfortable queen beds. It was also very quiet, which gave us a restful and uninterrupted sleep each night. They kindly provided a portable double hot plate upon request, which was perfect for preparing our own meals. The toilet and bathroom were spotless—another big plus. Location is also a standout—convenient and walkable to Marine Parade, which made exploring Napier easy and enjoyable. Free parking was spacious and felt very safe, adding to the peace of mind during our stay. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would gladly stay here again. Highly recommended!”

“Very friendly and welcoming team who take great care of the little ones in their centre”

“The best daycare so far. My 2 year old went to two other places before this one and even tho it’s more expensive. It’s worth the money. The staff are very good with the kids. Never had any issues. My child enjoyed the 2 year old room and when I moved place due to turning 3 she wanted to go back there. As far as supervision goes it was a 10/10 in her room. Not sure about the 3 -4 year old room as It’s alot bigger so from what I saw adult supervision wasn’t that good and alot more kids which is why we left but it’s like that everywhere- alot of kids. Great staff, very friendly and cater to your needs 10/10. Also never saw any badly behaved kids. They were all well behaved. Better than previous daycares.”
