About the Hawke's Bay Region

Hawke's Bay is loved for its sunny climate, fabulous beaches, sheltered coastal plains and long-established vineyards.

It is also one of the country's largest pip-fruit growing areas. Napier, the main city of the region, has one of the largest concentrations of art deco buildings in the world.

The city of Napier 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 art deco style.

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

Another unique attraction is the gannet colony on the very 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.

Hawke's Bay offers a range of fun and exciting activities:

• Climb up Te Mata Peak. Towering 400 metres above sea level, it offers panoramic views of the Ruahine, Kaweka and Maungaharuru ranges and Cape Kidnappers
• Relax at Morere Hot Springs—hot pools set in a beautiful bush environment
• Explore Mahia Peninsula Scenic Reserve and beach
• See Clonkeen Caves—extensive limestone and glowworm caves. Explore and see the stalactites, stalagmites, glowworms and limestone formations
• Wander around Bremdale—Garden of Eden, Nuhaka
• Visit the stately house and gardens of Chesterton
• Find peace at Tradgaard, an award-winning country garden
• Smell the air at Casa Lavanda, the lavender farm
• Wander the paths of Trelinnoe, one of New Zealand's finest woodland gardens
