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.

About Hawke's Bay and Napier
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Hawke’s Bay is a chance to experience the wonderful rural and coastal areas of New Zealand’s north island. New Zealand's Hawke’s Bay region with its main city Napier sits out on the eastern coast of the central part of the North Island, bordering the Pacific Ocean. Famed for its long hours of sunshine and a variety of soil types, this region is traditionally one of the most important fruit growing areas with not just apples and pears but peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries and kiwi and now wine producing regions of the country. The countryside is cosy, welcoming and attractive with acres of orchards and vineyards from the Pacific Ocean stretching several miles inland. Some vines are on slightly raised ground underneath the 1300 ft mountain of Te Mata Peak or above the meandering Tukituki river. Where there are no vines or orchards, you find grazing fields of sheep and farmsteads. In the distance gleams the blue of the Pacific Ocean. There are numerous vineyards to visit; many have tours, shops and outstanding restaurants. The village of Havelock North is charming and at the heart of this fruitful region. Not to be missed is the Art Deco City of Napier, perched on the edge of the Pacific and rebuilt completely in Art Deco style after the earthquake of 1931 that destroyed the old town and raised the sea bed, creating new land.
Highlights of Hawke's Bay and Napier
Visit and lunch at vineyards including perhaps Sileni and Black Barn inland or Clearwater on the coast, Visit the Art Deco city of Napier; don’t miss the Desco Centre and the A&B Building but also the dolphin show at Marineland and the Aquarium with its sharks and stingrays, Visit the gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers where up to 15,000 gannets nest (no access during early nesting between July and October), Orchard tour at Pernel Fruitworld near Hastings.
