Visit Hawke's Bay

The Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand is a picturesque destination located east of the North Island. With stunningly rugged landscapes and crystal clear waterways, Hawke's Bay has something for everyone to enjoy. Visitors may explore the rich art and culture, learn about its history through various heritage sites, or simply relax on its beautiful beaches. Tourist attractions include Napier's Art Deco District, a unique collection of 1930s architecture; Mission Estate Winery, the oldest winery in New Zealand; and Cape Kidnappers Gannet Colony where visitors can observe thousands of gannets nesting along the cliffs. An interesting historical fact is that many of its buildings were restored after a devastating 1931 earthquake destroyed much of the city centre. Whether you are looking to experience nature or gain insight into local history and culture while enjoying delicious wines nearby, Hawke's Bay will provide an entertaining yet peaceful visit.
