Navigate Seaside Hotel

Napier


Navigate yourself towards Navigate for 26 snazzy apartment-style units over three levels, with funky furnishings, nifty perforated-metal balconies and sea views from the best rooms. There's a kids' playground across the street for the offspring, and it's close to all of Ahuriri's best eats. The whale mural is part of Napier's Sea Walls public art project.
