Napier Off The Beaten Path: 16 reviews and 25 photos
If you have your own transport, you should be able to make your way through the winding streets of Bluff Hill, to the Bluff Hill Domain. Here you can park and get an expansive view of Hawke Bay (the marine feature) and Hawkes Bay (the name of the region - the land bit). You can't get that good a view of Napier city centre from here.
The drive up to the domain will take you throught a suburb of stately old wooden villas dating back to the early twentieth century. Remarkably this area apparently survived pretty much intact in 1931.
If you look west, you will see the large area of 'new land' that the earthquake reclaimed from the sea.
