Nightlife in Napier

Napier nights can be as mellow or lively as you want. Here are our favourite places for cocktails, music, and late-evening hangs close to the city centre.


Monica Loves

Drive or walk up to the Bluff Hill Lookout on Lighthouse Road for panoramic views over the city, the port, Cape Kidnappers, and the ocean. It's especially good around sunset when the light goes golden and the city starts twinkling. There's a bench at the top, and it's free. One of the most romantic spots in Napier, and most locals forget it's there.
