Welcome to Napier Airport
Hawke’s Bay Airport, also known as Napier Airport or Napier-Hastings, is located on the northern edge of Napier on land that, until the 1931 earthquake, was below sea level. The airport links Napier with Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Blenheim.
A bustling adventure hub, wine-producing region, and sea port, Napier styles itself as the Art Deco Capital. The 1931 earthquake levelled the city but provided a foundation for rebirth. The wealth of buildings in Napier are now preserved in their classic form of 1930s architecture. Outside of Miami, it’s one of the world’s finest Art Deco cities with a creative Kiwi twist (such as the ASB Bank on the corner of Hastings and Emerson Streets with its Maori koru and zigzags). The Tremains Art Deco Festival celebrates the architectural heritage every February. Pick up a map any time of the year and take a self-guided walk to admire the buildings.
Looking for a scrumptious meal? Try these foodie favourites for wining and dining:
- MINT Restaurant – once a private home until it was converted into a restaurant in the 1980s. This Victorian house offers a contemporary cuisine of Hawke’s Bay fresh produce and quality wines.
- Pacifica – high-end dining with a down-to-earth vibe. When the best local produce available dictates the dishes available, you know you’re in for a treat.
- Mister D – a constantly bustling café and dining establishment. This joint has its own distinct, quirky style. If you’re looking to finish up with dessert, the injected donuts are one to try.
Hawke’s Bay is one of the world’s finest wine regions, producing an excellent pinot gris and syrah (aka shiraz). There are many wineries within easy driving distance. Better still, book a winery tour or explore the lush countryside.
Napier is proud of its colony of gannets at the nearby Cape Kidnappers. The walk to this huge nesting ground of 3,000 pairs of seabirds is a profound sight. Even if you’re not a bird lover, the scenery is worth the hike alone.
If you’re looking to embark on a little adventure you can’t look past Ta Mata Peak. With paragliding, mountain bike riding and walking tracks, you won’t be short of activities to pursue. Occupying most adrenaline seekers, explore the unique topography, geology, flora and fauna.
Pick up your Hertz car at Napier Airport and the whole Hawke’s Bay Region is yours to explore.
