I made an overnight stay at the Nautilus whilst on a business trip. I had a ground floor unit facing the main road, Marine Parade. The unit was large, with a bedroom containing two single beds, kitchenette off the main corridor, bathroom with shower and large spa-bath, then a main room with desk, table, king-size bed, couch and two armchairs....

The rooms here are a good size and comfortable. The place is right on the beach and has nice views. There is plenty to do on the waterfront including a great park for the kids. We found the food in the restaurant to be below average for lunch and dinner and I would recommend eating out. Staff at the desk... More

The Nautilus Napier is a fantastic place to stay. Eat in, dine out at their restaurant, or choose restaurant close by. Their food was great though! Beautiful views of the ocean. wonderful spa pool and is quite superbly set up. Close walk to town as well. Will definitely stay there again.

We stayed here for a night and were blown away by the room. We booked it last minute and were pleasantly surprised at the value for money. Ocean views, large spa and large room to boot! Highly recommended to those travelling to Napier!

This hotel represents a trilogy of perfections: 1. Great location: Only a road separates it from the waterfront 2. Family Focus: On the waterfront there are a fantastic range of well constructed activity quadrants ranging from mini-golf to skating and scooter ramps to cycle tracks. a real Family oriented Mecca. 3. Friendly staff: You just have to say that David... More

A very tasteful unit which was well laid out and had lovely furnishings. Had a big circular spa bath and also a very comfortable lounge setting. Great value for money and spotlessly clean. The onsite restaurant had a very good evening meal and breakfast deal which we enjoyed. The waitress though very busy was welcoming and very service orientated.

What a great choice on the street we made. The room was excellent and the best rest that weary Aucklanders like us needed. Handy to town, an easy walk or 2 min in car, opposite the ocean and a lovely view.
