Thank you — it has reached us
We will write back to the address you gave, usually within the day. If it is urgent, telephone +64 6 835 4720 instead.
Getting to number 63
We are on the town side of Marine Parade, between the Sound Shell and the aquarium, behind two of the older pines. The entrance is under the stepped porch.
From Napier Airport
Eight minutes by car — south on State Highway 2 across the Ahuriri estuary, then left at the parade. Taxis wait outside the terminal. We will send a car if you give reservations a flight number; somebody will be inside the doors with your name on a card.
By car
From the north, State Highway 2 through Westshore and around the hill. From Hastings, State Highway 51 straight up the coast. Parking is on site, free, and behind a gate — pull up under the porch and the desk will sort it out.
On foot and by bicycle
Four minutes to the National Aquarium, six to the deco quarter, twelve to the Sound Shell and back along the water. The Hawke's Bay trails pass the front door — 200 kilometres of them, flat, and our bicycles are free to guests.
