Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

We are situated quite close to the sea, in a new suburb. Neighbours are friendly and there are only 6 houses in our part of the street so it is very quiet. 5 minute drive to town centre or 40-50 min walk (along the sea front if you wish). There is a sound shell on the waterfront with regular concerts and there are always lots of cultural events - many hosted by the vineyards. The local paper has a section with Things to do Around the Bay.
Napier is connected by bus and air to Auckland, Wellington and other NZ cities.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Napier has an abundance of cafes and restaurants catering for a morning latte through to sophisticated evening dining. Many vineyards offer top class restaurants. Havelock North village is approx 20 min drive away and has a lovely boutique shopping hub, and a little further on is Te Mata Peak which gives wonderful 360deg views out over Hawkes Bay. There are also many lovely picnic spots, and quirky cafes with galleries/sculpture gardens attached. Ocean Spa is a lovely heated swimming pool with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean.
