Bluff Hill Lookout

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.

Be aware that the Seapoint Road is pretty steep and narrow, so definitely not to recommend for bigger vehicles - take the Thompson Road! But you have a really nice view of the ocean and the area is beautiful designed with flowers and benches to sit 🥰 I personally just didn't like the port in the view...

Great lookout to see Napier port. You can hear noises down at the port. Many trails that lead to here. Beautiful garden.

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.

Beautiful view point. There is also a cute little garden up there

Great view of Napier's wharf & Hawkes Bay. Narrow road to the lookout, take care driving in both directions.

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.

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