Pools for swimming in Napier

“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.”

“Very friendly reception on entry, we booked in for the newly built cabin room. Only $60 a night, the cabin is brand new with big screen flat TV, fridge, kettle, toaster and portable fan. The room is not massive but you get space back on the front deck. The share toilets, bathroom and kitchen are all new and modern. The owners seem keen to make constant improvements. Would recommend to friends.”

“Great place to go with family and a picnic. Some play equipment, toilets tables and loads of grass to play games. Even a river to dip ya feet into”

“It wasn’t busy when we visited. The giant colorful chairs make for a great photo spot, and the beach is just a short walk away. Offers beautiful all-round views of the water — and it seems like a popular fishing spot too.”

“One of my favourite places. This place offers alot of variety. We have here the netball courts, soccer & rugby fields, hockey facility, athletics on the track, small stadium & running track around the complex. They is also a bike track for the kids.”

“The gardens were absolutely beautiful, and we were lucky enough to meet the lovely man who maintained them. He was so kind to take the time to answer all my questions about mass planting, what some of the plants were, what works, and what doesn't. He was extremely knowledgeable and took great pride in his work.”

“It was a wonderful stay—highly recommended! The staff were very friendly and always quick to help whenever I had questions. I’ve never stayed at a motel that felt this comfortable and welcoming. If I ever come back for sightseeing, I’d definitely love to stay here again. Thank you so much!”

“Awesome place for families to enjoy”

“Sealed road all the way to the campsite. Stunning place to relax along the Mohaka River. We stayed one night and woke up to amazing birdsong in the morning. The sound of water at night is peaceful too. Would definitely recommend if you're wanting a place to stay between Napier and Taupo.”

“Great short walk to waterfalls and really nice for a family outing. 20 mins walk to Te Ana Falls. Water is cold but It’s refreshing after hot summer walk. There’s another waterfall further up about 15 mins walk but be mindful that it’s only a look out and some of the track are about 500mm - 600mm you need to be extra careful especially when the ground is wet could be a little slippery.”

“Nice place I Live in Hastings but do travel through quite often”

“Watching the children take part in the Mitre 10 Tough Kids Challenge and what a great venue. Plenty of seating in the grandstand and facilities were clean and tidy.”

“Love this cute little playground.. fun things for most ages under 15. Nice trees and seats and not too crowded. Plus there are toilets onsite”

“I have one child in the pre school class, and one in the school age. They are both progressing so well. The instructors keep them on track and I see improvements every week. I highly recommend dolphin academy.”

“This is a superb place, lots of outdoor area, beautiful gardens, bq area, heated pool. Luxurious beds. A roomy villa. Friendly owners. I will be back to stay again.”

“Excellent service and great product supplied. Will definitely return”

“It is a great local Kiwi place. They really know how to make you feel at home. They have their own farm & vineyard. The owners are great people and know what they are doing. They are great host and will provide you with lits of Napier history.”

“Great gym, great trainers, great atmosphere, heaps of space to cater to every different workout, great group fitness classes! The new extension is going to be amazing for the facility and can't wait for it to be finished.”

“We have specifically chosen Think Water to meet our customer needs, due to their generous support of our team, and homeowners, during the Cyclone Gabrielle clean up. Highly recommend, without reservation. #HB Clean Up Team”

“I ref c/d grade canoepolo at the pools. Great venue,staff great.”

“Very big Mitre 10, the name suggests. The Mitre 10 staff team also never fails to answer questions about their products well.”

“There's a Subway, a gym, public toilets, conference rooms, and a basketball court. It's always clean and lively. However, the parking around the back makes no sense. It's hard to figure out how to exit according to the arena's painted arrows.”

“Excellent service from Milo in Gardening. Went above and beyond to demonstrate an item for me and was very friendly. Great asset to the store. Thanks.”

“Brilliant. We hired bikes and zoomed along the water front. Totally loved it.”

“An excellent facility. 3 great days of Bridge played here.”

“Don was a friendly host and the room was comfortable and value of our money. Would definitely recommend others to stay here”

“I've been a member since March an l have really enjoyed the sauna and even better l am learning how to swim an most of all the members and awesome, telling there stories or give you advice COMPLEX GYM YOU ROCK”

“Hi read about you on Facebook I’m a kiwi spent quite a lot of time with original members i it’s great you have done with your life and what you’ve doing with your business and academy cheers”

“The kind of store that you go to buy one thing and leave with a bag full of stuff you think you need. Some shelves are often left untidy due to customers not returning items they no longer want and this can be annoying at times. Recommend for kid's clothing as there is a large selection of reasonably priced stock. Other redeeming feature is the opening hours, 8am to 12 midnight for those last minute purchases!”

“Love this place! Some awesome specimens of fish. Got to watch the penguin feeding and later the big fish feeding. Great way to enjoy a few hours. They also have kiwis”
