It offers spectacular views over Hawke Bay and Napier Port. The viewing area was constructed over the top of a World War II coastal defence gun emplacement. You can walk up to the top or take the car. Lots of bends and slow driving. It takes about 20 minutes to get there by car. No entry fee. Toilets available. Mostly open area. Parking is not that easy. Beautiful place. Lots to see. Great place for photography. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Popular place, go early to avoid the heat as well.

I love this place because of the view to the sea. Bluff hill is right on the edge of a cliff, below is the a road and opposite is Napier Port. For me it's beautiful throughout the day, but its more beautiful in early morning or just before sunset. There are benches there and toilets for the public. Some people walk their dogs with leash. Also it has a clear view of ships coming in and out of the port. If you ever come across Napier or just passing through, take a break and visit this place.

Another beautiful lookout point in Napier. View of the port and more. Peaceful and quiet , just right for us away from the crowds

Very nice look out over the bay and the port. The road up is narrow but ok, and it is not a long drive up. There is a carpark at the spot and there is no need walking.

Wow what a place to look at the dock and if you are lucky enough then you could possibly see ship movements. I did capture the landing of an Air New Zealand flight from here.

Steep drive up but really nice view. Well kept but lots of views seem cut off and fenced off. The drive up is a very narrow street and I dreaded any oncoming traffic on the way up or down

Walked up to bluff hill lookout - mainly road until the last part. About 100m total climb which wasn’t too bad - not many steps. Views are really good nice peaceful at the top sitting on a bench enjoying the sun

Beautiful view but for the safety reason, the black fence was much higher which blocked great background for photos. Anyway, good to visit to see Napier.
