Public pools & Water park in Napier

“We were very unfortunate because our Alpine Crossing was cancelled due to strong and dangerous winds, but we alternatively did Tama Lakes track! Even the Tama Lakes track was out of this world so I couldn’t imagine, what Alpine Crossing would be!”

“Friendly professional service, the best local produce cooked to perfection. Full of flavour and beautifully presented. After lunch, enjoyed the spa with a massage. The right amount of pressure, the warm table and added bonus. Everything was perfection for a special birthday. Thank you x”

“My 2 grandchildren, 3 & 4 years old, love their swimming lessons and have made such good progress at Jillyfish. Reece has a great style of teaching...patient and encouraging and makes the lessons fun. Definitely recommend Jillyfish!”

“Friendly hosts. Lovely quiet accommodation close to shops. We stayed 2 nights in the studio which is lovely and has everything you need. Unfortunately our stay was unplanned as we attended a tangi so didn’t get to experience much of the relaxing environment. We will definitely be back.”

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

“One of our favourite places to go in Napier! My 3 year old loves walking by the beach, even more playing with the different playgrounds on site and of course the ice cream near by!”

“Easy to park. Well maintained park”

“This is genuinely such a nice walk. They are adding limestone so it’s an easy safe walk not muddy any more it’s a bit of mish up the hill but it’s only small a small hill and the trees and birds are delightful. I recommend this walk to anyone children adults and (fitter) elderly.”

“Great extension to the existing park. Plenty of adventure and creativity equipment to entertain and keep the kids happy for hours. Also a central water feature to help cool down on those hot summers days. Plenty of areas to climb and swing with a junior and senior play area. Also, caters for some children activities for spacially challenged children. This means younger children can play more freely without getting hurt. Come and let the kids explore. New toilets have been added close to the park.”

“It’s such a beautiful park and an amazing community resource. Brilliant for dogs with a huge off lease area and free poo-bags. So many lovely mature trees for shade, and if you have kids there’s an excellent playground. Top spot”

“A short 15 min easy walk from the car park. A MUST VISIT place in Napier. Truly amazing place”

“What a lovely park. Its quite large so plenty of room to throw a ball for your fur baby and not worry about neighbour's. Nice little stream running through it. Great for letting dogs off lead.”

“We had our wedding at Meadowood and it was just perfect!! Kerri and Matt were amazing, super helpful and the place looked 10/10! Would 100% recommend!”

“A very small little model railroad tucked up in the hills. Nice for Kids to see how steam engines work, even if they are 1/100 scale. Amazingly a one horsepower steam engine can pull a bunch of carriages with some very large people of size on them.”

“My Wife and I really enjoyed our stay over the Easter weekend , we stayed in room 17, it is nicely laid out spacoius and a really nice in room spa, not even a fire alarm could get my wife out of it. Thank you Fay and Chris for making us feel welcomed. Would have given a 10/10 if these allowed. We will definitely be back .”

“One of the best playgrounds in NZ, splash pad, great slides and climbing structures, variety of swings and lots for even little kids to do as well. Our kids from 2 - 12 could have spent the whole day here”

“This was a wonderful experience to see such a great place for everyone to enjoy. We are from Hamilton and don't have anything remotely similar to this facility.”

“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.”

“Great place to hire a bike & enjoy the waterfront on the flat paved paths provided...”

“I love coming here and feeding the birds they ate so friendly as you can see they love my noodle canteen”

“The new park (post cyclone Gabrielle) opens April 6th 2024 and is accessed via Waipunga road, off SH5 Esk Valley. Turn into Waipunga road, cross the bridge then turn right into the first forestry road, and follow this to the carpark. No tracks remain in the Mill Block off SH2.”

“Had a wonderful evening with the combined brass bands of HB, Deco Bay Brass as well as the HB Jazz Club Band performing carols.”

“Nice place to camp, really chill and relaxing. There are toilets, water and shelter. Huge space to put your tent and/or park. You can also find some walks around the place and you'll see a number in case you want to rent a kayak to explore the lake.”

“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”

“Wow what a Beatiful place to go swim and jump off the rocks.”

“Fantastic food service and ambience we all 64 of us enjoyed a great night at the Club.”

“Amazing for kids of all ages. Immaculate facilities, attentive staff and the manager is so friendly and helpful. The kids loved it so much that we returned the following day while on holiday.”

“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.”

“Always a great time, we came to the circus and it was Magnificent”

“Very nice park and also a very good rose garden in the park.”
