Meg Rodel immigrated to New Zealand with my family in January 1994 and haven’t looked back since.

“I never imagined that one day I’d have the pleasure of marketing one of New Zealand’s most unique, attractive and vibrant provincial cities – Napier.”



Self-guided or guided walks of Napier inner city’s art deco heritage quarter.



Hire push bikes and explore the cycle-ways and/or wineries (drop off and pick up arranged).




Visit the NZ Wine Centre for virtual winery tours which include wine tastings.




Explore Napier’s prison (NZ’s oldest prison) - various tours.




Tour the city and the sea in the amphibious Wine Duck vehicle.
