For the traveller who wants to discover the 'real Napier', bed and breakfasts offer the chance to do just that. What better way to immerse yourself in the Kiwi lifestyle than to be welcomed into a thoughtfully furnished home and be indulged by friendly, attentive hosts? Capture the true essence of New Zealand as you experience Kiwi hospitality first-hand. As the name suggests, bed and breakfasts usually include breakfast in their tariff, with hosts generally offering more than just coffee and toast - full English breakfasts comprising bacon, eggs and sausage are a Kiwi favourite, while continental breakfasts offer lighter choices such as fresh fruit, croissants, cereals and yoghurts. Bed and breakfasts are the ideal option if you want a little luxury and the chance to converse with others. Or why not make your next romantic escape in a cosy cottage-style B&B, where you can relax and unwind in a 'home away from home'.

Napier: In 1931 a massive earthquake (7.8 on the Richter scale) nearly obliterated the city of Napier. As a result, many buildings were demolished and rebuilt in the architectural style of the times - Art Deco, Spanish Mission and Stripped Classical. Today Napier has one of the most outstanding collections of 1930s architecture in the world - influenced heavily by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Chicago School. The Art Deco Walk is a permanent attraction, and each February Napier hosts an Art Deco Weekend - a not-too-serious celebration of the 1930s. Napier has a busy port and large amounts of frozen meat, wool, pulp and timber are shipped from here. There are many cafes within walking distance of Napier's central city area and a walk along Marine Parade where there are many amusements (a marine park, mini-golf, swimming pools, roller blading, bumper boats and miniature racing cars) is a pleasant way to start or end the day. Napier's iconic statue 'Pania of the Reef' is sometimes compared to Copenhagen's Little Mermaid. Accommodation is abundant in Napier and the surrounding area and ranges from luxury to budget; hotels, self-catering apartments, motels and lodges (some with restaurants), homestay; holiday parks and motor camps with self-catering units, budget cabins and campsites. There is also a beachfront youth hostel for backpackers. Families and groups welcome at most establishments; seasonal and group discounts may apply.
