Napier: Napier stands out among New Zealand communities. Much of its distintive character came after 1931 earthquake leveled the city. The rebuilding effort spurred the local economy out of its depression, and the facades were styled in progress-oriented Art Deco. It is a city that values form and aesthetics, both natural and man-made. There is a exceptional weather.
Punakaiki Coast: Punakaiki is a tiny settlement that exists for no purpose other than to service the hordes that come to see the area's most striking feature: a unique coastal rock formation called Pancake rocks. South Island's west coasts feels a lot like the edge of the world. The beaches are violent and rocky, and the lush vegetation gives it a primal, wild sort of atmosphere.
