Hi Carol, thanks for your message. There are many hotels within the city centre that are good. The best idea is to contact the Napier Visitor Centre who will be able to tell you who has rooms left or if you want to look at the options and book direct you can see accommodation on the Hawke’s Bay Tourism website. Good luck and we look forward to seeing you in February!

We will be arriving in Napier on a cruise ship on February 16, 2017. Our ship arrives at 12 noon and we are interested in the afternoon guided walk tour. Can we get tickets the day we arrive or do the tours fill up and you need to book in advance?
A:
We arrived in Napier with half hour to spare and we were able to get on the tour.

Is it still worth visiting here when it's not Art Deco week as everyone is raving about it and maybe we should wait and come back next year

Hello, I would definitely recommend a visit to Napier before attending an Art Deco weekend. Coming any other time of year gives you the best options to take in the architecture of the city in the very best way. It is so much easier to go on a relaxed exploration when the city is not filled in with thousands of visitors. Coming to Napier means falling in love with Napier: the feel of the city, a perfect snapshot in time, is something which has impressed thousands of people (locals and tourists alike). Once you have taken this is, there is no doubt that you will be back to experience an Art Deco weekend: the most lively version of a true history trip!
