West Quay, Ahuriri
A working harbour, and your room above it
Bluewater sits on West Quay in Ahuriri, the marina precinct on the northern edge of Napier. Bait buckets and forklifts share the quay edge with outdoor tables and coffee cups. From the door, the flat foreshore path runs to Marine Parade and Napier’s Art Deco quarter, without needing a car.
From compact studios to two- and three-bedroom apartments, a group lodge sleeping twelve, the distinctive round-house rooms, and an accessible studio on the ground floor: a room for every kind of stay.
Accommodation
