When visiting Napier earlier in Feb this yr, there is the famous Art Deco buildings that we should visit, or at least walk 1 round around their street to see the Art Deco buildings that are within walking distance in the city as plotted in the map above. (
Add route to google map). We took the free method with the help of google, the paid method is you can buy a guide map for $15 or take a guided tour.
First stop is the fire station
Followed by the Public trust office
The Daily Telegraph building
Masonic hotel where you get different looks from different side of the building
Australian Mutual Provident Society
Along the way you could see some interesting buildings and wall paintings too.
Finally if you do have a car, you can drive a while to the tobacco building as well
During Covid 19 period, if you are interested, you can use google street view to take a look at those places instead. As the chinese phrase says, 望梅止渴 ma. 🤣 since we cannot travel, can look at it to drench the thirst instead.
