Motel de la Mer  

On Napier’s famous Marine Parade, a boutique oceanfront motel steps from Napier Beach. Minutes from the National Aquarium of New Zealand, the Municipal Theatre and the Pania of the Reef, with Napier Airport about 5.1 miles away.

Just 11 air-conditioned suites with tasteful, boutique décor and ocean-front patios. Rooms come with kitchenettes (refrigerator and stovetop), Smart TVs, minibars and handy desks. Expect a stylish, relaxed Hawke’s Bay vibe right where Art Deco lives.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi, free self-parking and tour/ticket assistance. On-site bar and a snack bar/deli serving a continental breakfast (fee applies). Concierge, laundry/dry-cleaning, luggage storage and complimentary access to a nearby fitness facility — plus sea-breeze mornings right outside your door.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and high-speed internet, in-room desks and concierge services make this a solid pick for business travellers.

Start with a continental breakfast from the snack bar/deli (fee applies). An on-site bar keeps it casual, and you’re surrounded by Marine Parade’s cafés and restaurants for dinner and local eats.
