Te Awa, Napier

Te Awa is a suburb of the city of Napier, in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand's eastern North Island.

The suburb consists of a mix of 1920s small railway workers' houses which survived the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake, Art Deco homes built during the 1960s and 1970s, and twenty-first century subdivisions. ^[1]

The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "the valley" for Te Awa. ^[2]
