If you like Art Deco architecture, you must visit Napier. The town was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 1931, then completely rebuilt in gorgeous Art Deco style. A number of local wineries also offer tours and tastings.

Having seen the Little Mermaid in Denmark, this was a must for us. It was easy to find and is close to the sea front. Take a left from isite and it is a short walk

A Wave in Time Statue

Reviewed By klvmar

Outstanding statuary abounds in Napier, not the least of which is this attractive Art Deco example on the mall. It took us a couple trips up and down the walkway before we figured out that she is waving to a little boy who is climbing a pole on the opposite side of the street! Very cute.

...or are you asking about the 'spirit' of the city itself? Needs to be clarified. Both are excellent, anyway.
