Workation in Napier: the essentials
After the 1931 earthquake flattened it, Napier rebuilt itself almost entirely in Art Deco, and that streetscape is still the reason people come. The city of about 66,000 sits on Hawke's Bay on the North Island's east coast, with a working seaport, an esplanade of Norfolk pines and a reputation for sunshine. Cycle paths follow the shore towards the vineyards of one of the country's best-known wine regions, and Hastings is 18 km south. Hawke's Bay Airport lies about 5 km north of town. The beach along Marine Parade is steep and pebbly, better for walking than swimming. Cyclone Gabrielle hit the wider region hard in 2023.
