Three Must-Visit Local Attractions

• The Art Deco Quarter: Just minutes from Toad Hall, step back into the glamorous 1930s. Napier was rebuilt in a stunning Art Deco style after a devastating 1937 earthquake. Take a guided walking tour to fully appreciate the unique facades, ornate details, and fascinating history of this world-famous architectural treasure.
• Hawke’s Bay Wineries: No visit is complete without exploring one of New Zealand’s oldest and finest wine regions. Rent a bike or join a tour to pedal or drive the scenic trails connecting renowned cellar doors in areas like Craggy Range or Mission Estate, where you can sample exceptional Syrah, Chardonnay, and Bordeaux-style blends.
• Cape Kidnappers Gannet Colony: For a breathtaking natural spectacle, journey to this mainland sanctuary (accessible via tractor tour or hike). From November to February, witness thousands of majestic Australasian gannets nesting on dramatic coastal cliffs—a truly unforgettable wildlife encounter.

Perfect for travellers who value social interaction, practical amenities, and a superb location, Toad Hall Accommodation provides a welcoming and lively base from which to discover all the delights of Hawke’s Bay.
