Parkside Lodge  

In Greenmeadows on Napier’s suburban edge, opposite three hectares of parklands and just 6 km from the city centre. Close to Park Island Sports Complex and the National Aquarium of New Zealand, and a short drive from Church Road and Mission Estate wineries. A budget-friendly, pet-friendly lodge that’s also family-friendly and ideal for cyclists and day-trippers.

This cosy 21-room lodge serves up simple, air-conditioned rooms with fridges, flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms with showers, complimentary toiletries and hairdryers. Communal kitchen and laundry facilities keep stays flexible, while courtyard rooms, garden views and secure undercover bike storage make it a peaceful base for wedding groups, sports teams, business travellers and holiday-makers. Bike hire and easy access to Hawke’s Bay cycle trails add a sporty local twist.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi, free on-site parking and a communal kitchen for self-catering. On-property perks include a games/arcade room, library, BBQ area, petanque court, kids’ playroom and tour/ticket assistance — plus bike hire and secure storage. Wake up to parkland mornings and step straight onto nearby cycle routes.

Complimentary wireless internet, luggage storage and laundry facilities make short- or long-stays hassle-free; the reception can also help with tour and ticket arrangements.

Prepare meals in the shared kitchen or fire up the BBQ. Breakfast is available for a fee, and Greenmeadows’ cafes, bakery and shops — plus nearby winery cellar doors — put Hawke’s Bay flavours within easy reach.
