Winter in Napier has its own kind of magic — think crisp sea air, peaceful art deco streets, and the perfect excuse to slow down with a good glass of red. Whether you're escaping for a weekend or planning a longer mid-year break, here are five cosy things to do in Napier that will warm your soul (and toes).

1. Wine Tastings by the Fire
Hawke’s Bay is New Zealand’s oldest wine region, and winter is the perfect time to explore it without the crowds. Head to Craggy Range, Mission Estate, or Church Road Winery, where many tasting rooms offer indoor fireplaces and hearty winter platters. A glass of Syrah in a warm cellar door? Yes please.

2. Browse MTG Hawke’s Bay Museum
Rainy day? No problem. Napier’s award-winning museum and gallery, MTG Hawke’s Bay, is a beautiful place to spend a few hours indoors. Dive into local Māori history, discover the city’s earthquake past, or take in rotating art exhibitions — all just a short stroll from your apartment.

3. Warm Up with Art Deco Style
Winter is an ideal time to explore Napier’s famous Art Deco architecture. Book a guided walking tour, or grab a self-guided map and enjoy the quieter streets in the cool, crisp air. Finish with a hot chocolate or mulled wine at a local café with character, like Six Sisters Coffee House or Georgia on Tennyson.

4. Indulge in Comfort Food and Hot Drinks
Napier’s food scene doesn’t hibernate in winter. Cosy up in a booth at Central Fire Station Bistro, try the seasonal menu at Bistronomy, or enjoy a steaming bowl of ramen at Sai Thai Eatery. For a sweet treat, stop in at The Silky Oak Chocolate Café — hot fudge pudding, anyone?

5. Take a Soothing Soak
A 20-minute drive away in Te Aute, Ocean Spa offers heated outdoor pools and hot tubs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Brave a brisk walk on Marine Parade, then reward yourself with a rejuvenating soak while the waves crash nearby — the ultimate winter unwind.

Get in touch if you have any questions.

Parkers Apartments are proud to showcase local art works in our apartments, and the Boyd Dunlop Gallery
is situated right around the corner from the apartments at 4 Hastings Street. I happened to be walking past this week and noticed an amazingly vibrant 3D looking floral art work in the gallery, and when I went in to get a closer look I found out the artist is having an exhibition starting Valentines Day at the Gallery (until 9th March). This is well worth a look! There is still some availability in the apartments during those dates.. come and stay and get a cultural fix at the same time as some of our lovely Hawkes Bay sun.
