Art Deco Masonic Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Seriously everything was great - from the welcome we received, how clean and well presented the whole hotel looks we could have been staying there the first week it ever opened. We would stay again in a heart beat and will recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Napier. If I could score the hotel 6 stars I would - if I could have the same shower and pressure at home I’d love that too !!"

"We had a family unit which had all we needed and more. There is a full sized stove and fridge freezer to make a stay with a family a breeze. Good onsite parking in front of our unit was ideal. The view over the Hawkes' Bay and port is stunning. The beach is an easy walk across the grass. Ahuriri village is a short walk away giving access to a good range of cafes and interesting shops.
