Located on the east coast of New Zealand, Napier enjoys some of the longest hours of sunshine in the country along with the South Island destination, Nelson.  In 1931 the city was completely levelled by an earthquake that took 256 people’s lives.

Today there are parts of Napier that were under the sea until the earthquake caused the ground to rise above the ocean.  Because the city was completely demolished in the Art Deco Era, the new city was architecturally designed using common features of that period.  This is the major tourist attraction in Napier as people enjoy studying and photographing the Art Deco buildings and surrounds that makes Napier unique. Another landmark that is photographed often by visitors is the statue of “Pania on the Reef”.

Throughout the year Napier plays host to some very popular festivals that sees visitors arriving from all over the globe.  Make sure to book your rental car with Webbcarr if you are planning to drive to one of the annual events from one of the major airports located in Auckland or Wellington.  In February you can enjoy the Art Deco Weekend that celebrates the Architectural designs of the buildings from that era.  You may also want to participate in the Hawke’s Bay Harvest which is an annual wine and food event.
