Toad Hall Backpackers is a family owned and operated hostel. Run by a Ruthie & Gareth who are a great host, inside the hostel is a large communal lounge, large kitchen area and the roof terrace - Napier's best kept secret. Many nights to remember where made up on the Roof!!

| Where I've been living for the last four months |
The reason why Napier is in the map, is because on 3 February 1931, most of Napier was levelled by an earthquake. The collapses of buildings and the ensuing fires killed 256 people. The centre of the town was destroyed by the earthquake, and later rebuilt in the Art Deco style popular at that time. Some 4000 hectares of today's Napier were undersea before the earthquake raised it up above sea level.
For anyone who is wondering, as to why I've been living in Napier for the last four months is because I've been working for Oyster Bay, Delegat's experiencing my vintage here. I have lots to tell you.
Also if any of my readers end up in Napier, New Zealand for a short or long stay then I would really recommend staying at Toad Hall Backpackers, I had the most amazing time there!! I have lots of stories to tell. Catch you all later!!
