Situated on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, in the Hawke's Bay region, Napier is one of the country's most attractive cities. It's the perfect stepping off point for wineries, art deco architecture, beautiful beaches and the stunning Cape Kidnappers. Napier is well known for its world-class architecture that includes the popular Art Deco architecture of the 1930's as well as the Pania of the Reef statue at Marine Parade. The city gained fame shortly after it was successfully rebuilt following the devastating Hawke's Bay earthquake of 1931. Even after surviving a massive earthquake, the city has not lost its charm! With sprawling vineyards, Napier is also a popular wine-producing area of Hawke's Bay.
