For all the facts you need about visiting Napier, take a look at our Covid-19 Travel Advisor. Covering quarantine policies, travel restrictions and much more, this guide will help make your trip as hassle-free as possible.

Don’t worry if you’re rethinking your Napier holiday package — it’s possible to change or amend your booking. And if you’ve booked it within the last 24 hours, you may be able to do it for free. However, bookings made more than 24 hours ago may incur charges from your hotel, airline or car rental company. We know life can throw the occasional spanner in the works, so look up our Customer Service Portal if that occurs. When you’re ready to make changes, we’ll take care of it.

An escape to Napier isn’t complete without spending some time in Bluff Hill, so why not get a hotel in this fantastic neighbourhood? That way, you’ll be just a hop, skip and jump away from Bluff Hill Domain Lookout. If National Tobacco Company Building is one of your must-sees, stay in the Ahuriri area.

If you’re planning to stay in the Westshore neighbourhood, some of your best options are Fairley Motor Lodge and At The Rocks Motor Lodge. Ahuriri is another favourite Napier area. We recommend The Crown Hotel Napier or Navigate Seaside Hotel if you choose this part of the city.

September is an excellent month to go to Napier if you’re hoping to save a few dollars. January is a more expensive month by comparison, so expect to pay top dollar if you visit then. If you’d prefer to bypass the crowds, consider taking your trip in September, October, November. However, there’s plenty to love about travelling in high season. Napier is arguably at its best in April, March, July.

Smart travellers often reserve their seats early. You can generally compare international airfares on Expedia up to 12 months before your flight. If you’ve left booking to the last minute, fear not. Budget prices occasionally become available just weeks before departure.

You can save big by bundling your flights, hotels and rental cars. Once you’ve made your booking, you can add on activities or sightseeing tours. Your next unforgettable adventure is only a few clicks away.
