Surrounded by restaurants and cafes in Napier city centre, Motel de la Mer offers ocean-facing suites with a fully equipped kitchen. Some rooms have a balcony with ocean and city views.

The room is extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. There is even a room spa bathtub, something which many facilities do not have. The location is very near the sea, which is of a very beautiful view. It is also about 5 mins away from town which has different shops and eateries. Very convenient to get food.

Absolute Beachfront B&B

Napier

Absolute Beachfront B&B in Napier provides adults-only accommodation with direct access to the beach and a hot tub with beach & sea views. The property is around 8 km from McLean Park, 6 km from Bluff Hill Lookout and 7 km from Pania of the Reef Statue. Both free WiFi and private parking are accessible at the bed and breakfast. First off, Brin and Biddy were outstanding hosts. And the place was spacious and clean. The ocean front location made for a great view while relaxing in their spa. They loaned me a bike for a pleasant bike ride into Napier. Brin made reservations for us at a winery restaurant that was within easy walking distance. The food and wine were excellent. Definitely this stay was a highlight of our New Zealand trip.
