In Napier for a holiday with our dog Misty. Booked a dog friendly room for 2 days. Bonus 2nd day was half price. The room was wonderful and there was a dog bed and dog bowl of free snacks that was gobbled down. We all had a great time at the hotel. Room was lovely, bed was comfy, ice cream close by reception area was very good. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Ordered steak from the restaurant for room service as Misty was making a noise and so we couldn't dine in the restaurant which I wanted. Everything was good and would stay there again but maybe without the dog.

A lovely stay – and a warm welcome for Kaida

We really enjoyed our stay at SH Te Pania and felt so welcome from the moment we arrived. A special thank you for the lovely welcome for Kaida — the treats were such a thoughtful touch, and she certainly enjoyed them! We also really appreciated having a comfy bed and bowls provided for her. It made travelling with her that much easier.

The hotel is in such a convenient location, with the town and beach both within easy reach, which was an added bonus for us. It was lovely being able to get out and explore and then come back and relax.

As people who love travelling with our dog, we really appreciate places like SH Te Pania that open their doors to well-behaved dogs and responsible pet parents. It makes such a difference knowing that our furry family members are genuinely welcomed and catered for.

Thank you for making our stay such a pleasant one. We would happily stay again and hope we’ll be welcomed back for another holiday soon! Kaida would definitely be happy to return too. 🐾❤️

Perfect accommodation for our annual conference across the road at the War Memorial Centre, and a only a short walk in to the heart of the city. My room was very comfortable well appointed, with wonderful views out over the sea - the hotel is designed so that all the rooms are sea facing. Staff were friendly and helpful at all times. Breakfasts were good and availability of late night dining was a plus. Definitely recommend this if you are planning a conference in Hawkes Bay.

My experience at the hotel was, once again, absolutely fabulousfrom my very first phone call to reserve our two rooms through to the moment we checked out.

The welcome we received on arrival was warm and genuine, and everything was handled with professionalism and care.
We always prefer booking directly with the hotel because the team is consistently so kind, friendly, and accommodating.

It is this exceptional level of service that keeps us coming back year after year. Having the restaurant on-site is such a bonus, and we thoroughly enjoyed every meal. As someone who works professionally with food, having someone else cook for me is a real treat, and this visit was no exception. The quality of every dish was outstanding 10 out of 10.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable stay with genuine hospitality. If you have the opportunity, try to book one of the corner rooms on the upper floorthey are simply wonderful.

Our special thanks go to Sanju Rao, the Reception Manager, Nithishah Indur, and every member of the incredible team who cleaned, cooked, served, and welcomed us throughout our stay. Your dedication and kindness made our year, and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Great location and busy accommodation. Carpark was always full in the evening and sometimes had to park on the roadside parking. Rooms were of a good standard with comfy beds. Heat pump was old and did not work efficiently or produce hot air as it should.
