The original port of Napier was located in the area of Ahuriri, just beyond the buildings visible on the right of this photo., and was known as the Iron Pot port.

This port area has now been superseded by the Breakwater Port, and Ahuriri is home to mainly pleasure boats and inshore fishing vessels, and the old warehouses and stores are now home to restaurants, bars, cafe's, offices and apartments.

It was very peaceful this morning standing watching the stars fade and the sun rise, and people arriving to take their boats out for the day.

The constellation of Orion is visible in this photo in the centre of the sky.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,011 reviews)
Great property for sea views. Unit was spacious and clean. The accommodation is a little on the tired side. In particular, the bathroom was in real need of a total refit. Probably about 30 years since the last one. The large spa bath in the corner is so outdated - not least for its ecological unfriendliness. ...

Great location. Clean with a friendly staff. Speedy checkin but we couldn’t get the AC to work. Nobody at the front desk to ask. Wasn’t a big deal except for opening the windows meant lots of traffic noice

Art Deco Weekend!!

Art Deco Weekend is a celebration of the rebuilding of Napier after the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake- it celebrates our beautiful city and it's iconic buildings, memorializes the people of the city during the 1930's and makes for a great weekend! The event is planned extremely well, has an incredible amount of era-appropriate events and a magnificent setting. Everybody dresses up - frocks, heels and accessories, bow ties and suspenders... Add vintage car parades, over 200 different events - it's a great weekend!
