Out and about nearby

Steeped in food and wine production, Hawke's Bay has a myriad of offerings for appreciators of the culinary arts. A lovely way in which to encounter this sterling gastronomic prowess is to cycle between the 30 wineries that open for tasting in the region. Choose from one of three Hawke's Bay Trails and marvel at the rolling green hills that surround you as you journey from vineyard to vineyard. Next, visit the traditional farmers market in Hastings for the freshest of the local organic produce, or try an orchard, farm, honey, cheese or chocolate tour. Elsewhere, guests will discover the varied and vibrant cultural scene of Hawke's Bay, with art galleries and museums, live music, cosmopolitan dining and entertainment. In Napier, for example, enrol on an Art Deco tour to discover the highest concentration of Art Deco architecture anywhere in the world. In Hastings, swap art deco for a traditional Spanish style of architecture, a relic from the influence of historic Spanish Missions. Maori culture has strong roots throughout Hawke's Bay too, and a visit should include a guided tour or cultural immersion through the ancient landscapes of Te Urewera and Lake Waikaremoana, and the majestic Te Mata Peak. From the traditional feast of the Hakari to Maori art galleries and studios, a taste of authentic and historic New Zealand is at your finger-tips in Hawke's Bay. Finally, make the most of the remarkable natural setting of Mangapapa Hotel by joining a variety of adventure pursuits in the region. Paddle or kayak down the Mohaka or Tukituki River, or take a hot air balloon safari over the plains. For guests less adrenaline-thirsty, a variety of lower-energy natural activities are on offer, such as touring Cape Kidnappers in search of the largest gannet colony in the world, or a visit to the hot pools of the Kaweka Ranges.
