Napier Information

Napier (Ahuriri in Maori) is an important port city in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. It has a population of 157,000. Ten kilometres to the south lies Hastings.

Napier is a popular tourist resort, and has one of the most photographed tourist attractions in the country, a statue on Marine Parade called Pania Of The Reef. Her statue is regarded in Napier in much the same way that the Little Mermaid statue is regarded in Copenhagen, and bears some similarities to its Scandinavian equivalent.

On 3 February 1931 Napier was levelled by an earthquake and ensuing fires, which killed 258 people. The town centre was destroyed and rebuilt in the popular Art Deco style of the time.

The town enjoys some of the highest sunshine hours in New Zealand, its warm, relatively dry climate the result of its location on the east coast.

Attractions:
Napier's major tourist attraction is the town itself, which draws Art Deco and architecture enthusiasts from around the world. The whole centre of Napier was rebuilt simultaneously. In many ways it resembles a film set as it has whole streets of 'in period' buildings, but it is a real city and the buildings are original.

Other tourist attractions in Napier include Marineland, the National Aquarium and the Soundshell. Attractions nearby include the Cape Kidnappers Gannet Colony and many vineyards bordering Hastings City. Many people use Napier as a gateway to Hawkes Bay, flying in to the Hawkes Bay airport at Westshore from Wellington City, Auckland and Christchurch. From Napier, tourists explore Hastings City, Havelock North, Wairoa and Cape Kidnappers.

Tourists flock to Napier in February for Art Deco weekend and the Mission Concert Weekend. The large wine industry hosts the Annual Harvest Hawkes Bay Weekend.
