Attractions

Fairley Motel's Westshore location makes it ideal for visitors wishing to make the most of the Hawke's Bay coast. Take a charter fishing trip and land the big one, sail in the harbour, try windsurfing or paddle a kayak in scenic Pandora Pond - whichever boating experience you're looking for, we can help you find it.

After an action-packed day in the water, Fairley Motel is the perfect spot to relax, unwind, reminisce and then start planning your next adventure on the water!

Hawke's Bay has become New Zealand's major cycling holiday destination. Hawke's Bay Trails, which cover over 200 kilometres of on-road and off-road tracks offer a fantastic way to see the best of Hawke's Bay in a relaxed but energetic fashion. Check out the Hawke's Bay Trails Guide to plan your cycling adventure.

Hire a bike here in Napier or bring your own and hit the trails to discover incredible rural, vineyard and coastal views, delicious wines, food and coffee, and countless unsung Hawke's Bay highlights.

The Ahuriri Estuary, very close to Fairley Motor Lodge is also a fabulous place to take a leisurely bike ride.

The fishing in Napier and Hawke's Bay, whether at sea or in one of the many rivers, lakes and streams, is some of the best in New Zealand. The varied landscape and temperate climate means that there is good fishing all year, if you know where to go and what to use.

We can offer recommendations, put you in touch with fly fishing guides and sea fishing charters or just point you towards any of our favourite Hawke's Bay beaches for a spot of surf-casting.

Hawke's Bay boasts a number of great golf courses. Throughout the region there are courses to cater for every skill level, including the world-class Cape Kidnappers Course, recently rated no.6 in the world outside the USA, several championship courses, and also some hidden gems - smaller rural courses.

Of course, Napier's Marine Parade also offers golfing fun at Par2 Mini Golf - ideal for the budding golfers in the family.

There is a huge range of fun activities for the whole family in Hawke's Bay, from exploring the estuary and the wider region by bike to sailing optimist yachts on Westshore's Pandora Pond, and your hosts at Fairley Motel have all the local knowledge to help you experience a Napier family holiday to remember.

If you're visiting Napier in the warmer months, we recommend a trip to see the gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers, a day of fun at Splash Planet in Hastings, a drive out to one of the beautiful white sand beaches like Ocean Beach or Waimarama for an ice cream and a swim, or perhaps a round of mini golf at Par2 on Marine Parade. When the weather isn't so pleasant, family days out can mean exploring MTG Hawke's Bay (the Museum Theatre and Gallery) or discovering kiwi, tuatara, penguins and sea creatures at the National Aquarium of New Zealand.

With many great options for showing the kids a fun and educational time in Hawke's Bay, we encourage you to check out the offerings here.
