City Close Motel

City Close Motel is a small motel at 50 Munroe Street in Napier South, a few minutes from the Napier CBD. The operator describes it as a boutique property in which each of the eight units is individually designed rather than following a single template.

The motel was originally built in the 1970s and has since been refurbished, with quality furnishings and well-appointed kitchen facilities throughout the units. Guest facilities include a swimming pool for the summer months, a guest laundry, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and a garden planted with fruit and herb trees. Off-street parking is available on site.

The position is the practical selling point. The CBD is about a three-minute drive, and cafes, restaurants and shopping are within walking distance, as are Marine Parade and McLean Park. Napier's Art Deco streets are a short walk or drive from the door, which makes the motel convenient for delegates attending events in the city centre or spectators and officials attending fixtures at McLean Park.

At eight units, the property is best suited to individual business travellers, couples or very small groups rather than a full room block, and no meeting or conference space is advertised. Groups requiring meeting facilities would need to pair a stay here with a separate venue.

Unit configurations by bedroom count, accessibility provisions, EV charging and any current Qualmark rating were not confirmed in the sources reviewed and should be checked directly with the property. Other options are listed among Napier's accommodation and venues.
