About Napier and Hawke's Bay

Blessed with a sunny, Mediterranean-style climate, Hawke's Bay is one of New Zealand's warmest, driest regions.

The landscapes of Hawke's Bay begin with the forested Ruahine and Kaweka Ranges. From the mountains, the land steps down towards the coast, to become the Heretaunga Plains. A number of wide rivers run swiftly to meet the blue Pacific Ocean.

Napier, the main city of the region, has one of the largest concentrations of Art Deco buildings in the world.

It was razed by earthquake and fire in 1931, and rebuilt in the art deco style which was fashionable at the time. The Art Deco Walk is a permanent attraction, and each February there is the Brebner Print Art Deco Weekend, a not-too-serious celebration of the style.

The Hawke's Bay vineyards are all within a short distance of Napier and Hastings, the other city in the region. More than 30 vineyards are open to the public for wine tasting. Many also operate cafés and restaurants. The region is especially known for its fine Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties.

Another attraction is the gannet colony on the tip of Cape Kidnappers—believed to be one of only two mainland gannet colonies in the world.

Gannets are large sea birds with long, pointed wings and golden-yellow heads. Most spectacular is their method of fishing, when whole flocks suddenly dive straight into the sea from a great height, at speeds of up to 145 kilometres per hour.

You can also find plenty of adventure in Hawke's Bay—rafting on the Mohaka River, horse trekking, hunting and trout fishing.
