Situated as the capital of the Hawkes Bay region, Napier is renowned for a beautiful coastline, stately Norfolk pines, a multitude of nearby wineries and 1930's art deco architecture. In 1931, a two and a half minute earthquake destroyed the city of Napier which had to be completely rebuilt. A marvellous collection of buildings in the 1930's Art Deco style sprang up, which is celebrated with a special Art Deco weekend every February. |
