Welcome to Hawke’s Bay‘Te Matau a Māui’From Māhia in the north to Porangahau in the south, Hawke’s Bay’s 360 kilometres of coastline and beaches hugs the Pacific Ocean.

Blessed with fertile soils, an ideal contour, and a warm temperate climate, Hawke’s Bay’s prosperity is founded on its land-based economy. With thousands of acres of farms, orchards, and vineyards, and local industries that have grown up in support, it’s clear why the region is held in such high regard as New Zealand’s agricultural powerhouse, and why life here beats to a seasonal drum.

The forces of nature that gifted Hawke’s Bay its most notable landmarks, including Lake Waikaremoana, Te Mata Peak, and Cape Kidnappers, have also wreaked havoc to reshape and define the region we know today. Most infamous is the Hawke’s Bay Earthquake of 1931, an event that changed the cityscapes of Napier and Hastings, and the lives of their inhabitants forever.

In Māori mythology, the formation of Hawke’s Bay’s geography is found in the story of Māui, the most famous of the Māori gods, who hauled up the North Island while out fishing one day with his brothers.

Annoyed by the favouritism shown to Māui by the other gods, the brothers tried to sabotage his fishing efforts by refusing him a fishhook or some bait. The resourceful Māui then produced his own hook, made from the jawbone of his grandmother. He punched himself in the nose, coated his hook with the blood that flowed, and cast it into the depths where it was soon taken by something very large.

After heaving the North Island to the surface, Māui’s hook was instantly transformed into the cape that forms the southernmost tip of Hawke Bay – otherwise known as Cape Kidnappers. Viewed from above, you can still see its hooked shape, which is why Hawke’s Bay is sometimes referred to as ‘Te Matau a Māui’ – The Fishhook of Māui.

Central Hawke’s Bay

Hawke’s Bay is a region of diverse and magnificent landscapes, from mountains

and hill country to inland and coastal plains, occupying around 14000 square

kilometres on the eastern side of New Zealand’s North Island.

Roads to Hawke’s Bay

Northern Routes:

The Thermal Explorer Highway takes you down the centre of the North Island and through the historic geothermal areas of Waitomo, Rotorua, and Lake Taupo.

You can take the road less travelled along the Pacific Coast Highway towards Coromandel, Tauranga and Whakatane, around East Cape and down through Gisborne and Wairoa. This is one of the great campervan journeys and is highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience some of New Zealand’s stunning and remote coastal areas.

Southern Routes:

If you’re driving to Hawke’s Bay from Wellington, either take State Highway 1 up the Kapiti Coast and head inland before Levin, or head to the Hutt Valley, over the Rimutaka Hill and through the Wairarapa district. This latter route is part of the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail that runs through the region’s famous winegrowing pockets and provides plenty of opportunities to stop and explore the cafés, antique shops, and galleries.

Hawke’s Bay is on the Intercity national coach route with daily services from Auckland, Gisborne, Palmerston North, Rotorua, Taupo and Wellington.

By Air

Hawke’s Bay Airport is 10 minutes from Napier's city centre and 25 minutes from Hastings. Air New Zealand operates daily flights from Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Jetstar offer daily flights between Auckland and Napier. Sounds Air operates five flights a week between Napier and Blenheim, and Origin Air offer flights from New Plymouth, Nelson and Palmerston North.

The airport is well serviced by rental car companies, shuttle buses and taxis.

By Sea

The Napier Port hosts multiple cruise ships throughout the summer season. Tens of thousands of cruise visitors are shuttled to and from the Napier i-SITE Visitor Centre, and a number of tour companies pick visitors up directly from the port.

A Short History of Hawke’s Bay

Hastings Otatara Pa, Taradale

Hawke’s Bay’s first inhabitants were Māori, who arrived here somewhere between 1250 and 1300 and established coastal settlements from Māhia through to Porangahau.

The first European to arrive was probably Captain Cook, who sailed into Hawke Bay in October 1769 and again in 1773. He named the Bay after Sir Edward Hawke, First Lord of the Admiralty. It was on his first voyage that Cape Kidnappers was named, after an incident involving Tupaea, the Tahitian servant boy who was seized from his ship by Māori, but was later returned.

The first of many traders arrived in 1831, followed soon after by a succession of Anglican and Catholic missionaries. After the arrival of the first flock of sheep in 1849, the early pastoral run holders began to establish vast sheep stations that were to form the backbone of the Hawke’s Bay economy. Many grand old homesteads built by these early pastoralists are still standing today. The first successful orchard was planted in 1892, which marked the start of the local horticultural industry.

The Hawke’s Bay Earthquake of 1931 led to the creation of the Art Deco style that now defines Napier. Other benefits of this serious seismic event included Ahuriri Lagoon rising by over two metres to provide much needed space for expansion. Today, Ahuriri is a sought-after location to live, work, and play.

Our Māori Heritage

Hawke’s Bay is known to Māori as Te Matau-a-Māui The Hook of Māui, in reference to the early navigator Māui, who bestowed the first place names to the region over 1000 years ago. Following Māui was successive migration from Polynesia to Aotearoa and intermarriage with the people of the land.

Today the iwi tribes that inhabit Te Matau-a-Māui are Ngāti Rongomaiwahine of Māhia and Ngāti Kahungunu united through the marriage of the eponymous ancestors Kahungunu and Rongomaiwahine in the late 1400s. Their descendants now number over 60,000 and are a united confederation of hapū sub-tribes that extend from Wairoa to the Wairarapa.

By the 1830s, Europeans were emigrating to Aotearoa in large numbers, and on arriving to the Māhia Peninsula found a people in exile, escaping inter-tribal warfare exacerbated with the introduction of the musket. With the introduction of Christianity and European security, chiefs began the process of establishing peace and repatriation of their lands across Te Matau-a-Māui.

Returning to their ancestral lands, certain chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi and adopted European practices, dress, and language. Chiefs were quick to commence farming, food production, and building of European style villages.

Mythical legends play an important role in the transmission of oral histories in Māori culture. One of the most famous is the story of the iconic 'sleeping giant', we know as Te Mata Peak. It is said Māori Chief Te Mata fell in love with the daughter of his rival. He accepted a series of near impossible challenges, choking and dying while attempting his final task to eat through the rocky range. Te Mata Peak now depicts the outline of his prostrate body.

Our Seasons

When summer swings in, locals head out. Longer days and warmer temperatures bring fresh offerings – think outdoor concerts, twilight cricket, and sand between toes at the region’s many beaches. There’s the Christmas and New Year influx, with a well-spaced succession of long weekends to follow. It’s the start of the wedding season, when every day is a big day it seems, and the cycle trails are alive with the chatter of winery-hopping cyclists. Cruise ships begin their daily visits and Art Deco enthusiasts from around the world are in a frenzy about their February pilgrimage to Napier for the annual Art Deco Festival.

Winter is the season for hunkering down, but Hawke’s Bay is not dormant by any means. Early season there is a crisp stillness in the air, with blue skies and shortening sunny days. With the first dustings of snow on the ranges, life outside simply carries on indoors. There are deals to be had at luxury lodges and boutique hotels for an intimate escape or a weekend rendezvous, and in June there is Winter F.A.W.C!. With a local spin on winter fare and a flurry of new vintage releases, food lovers and wine drinkers have plenty of reasons to be happy.

Autumn is a photographer’s dream. The landscape is ablaze as deciduous leaves turn gold, red, yellow and brown and there’s no better way to witness the magic than an early morning or late afternoon hike along the tree-lined trails leading to the summit of Te Mata Peak. For a getaway with a difference, the Air New Zealand Hawke’s Bay International Marathon affords participants a runway of Hawke’s Bay’s beauty, concluding with a winery finish line.

SUMMER

Spring is made for walking. Temperatures are on the rise, and the visible signs of nature waking up are on show everywhere with bursts of blossoms, flushes of daffodils, and asparagus shoots making their seasonal appearance. Squadrons of male gannets have ensconced themselves in their headland sanctuaries at Cape Kidnappers, Central Hawke’s Bay is bustling and vibrant with the celebrations of the Spring Fling, while the Spring Racing Carnival is showcasing high fashion with a friendly punt at the Hawke’s Bay Racecourse.

Napier

Stunning and beautifully restored Art Deco styled buildings have made Napier famous for having one of the most complete collections of Art Deco buildings in the world.

Often referred to as a 1930s film set, Napier’s Art Deco architecture provides a unique city backdrop and is the perfect location from which to start your Hawke’s Bay holiday.

Napier is home to many fine wineries, restaurants, bars and cafés. The boutique shops are a must-visit for shoppers, and don’t miss the magnificent, gigantic murals painted on over 50 walls around the city. Grab a Pangea Seed Seawalls map from the iSITE and walk or ride the city to see them up close.

Marine Parade serves as a scenic and popular bridge between the city and the Pacific Ocean. Packed with family friendly activities, the kids will be entertained for hours exploring the Pump Track, the National Aquarium of New Zealand, Par2Mini Golf, Ocean Spa and BaySkate.

Napier’s iconic Norfolk Pines, the Deco Soundshell, the Tom Parker Fountain and statue depicting Pania of the Reef are a visual reminder of the city’s past.

For the perfect photo opportunity, visit the Viewing Platform which is located on Marine Parade foreshore just down from the Pania statue.

Swing Bridge at Lake Waikaremoana

Wairoa (Māori for long water) is the largest town in Northern Hawke’s Bay and is a handy place to stop off or prepare for adventures in Te Urewera. A gateway to sublime fishing or surfing and diving spots, it’s popular for a range of water sports, including water skiing, jet boating and rowing.

Experience some of Wairoa’s rich heritage by walking the 5-kilometre river walkway. Sites of historical significance share the stories of Māori and European settlement. The walk starts at the historic Portland Island Lighthouse – in service between 1878 and the mid-1950s, before it was moved to town in 1961 – and finishes at Pilot Hill.

40 minutes north of Wairoa on SH2 is Morere Hot Springs, a collection of mineral hot pools, set within the last remaining tracts of native rainforest on the East Coast.

Information: The Wairoa i-SITE Visitor Centre is located on the corner of SH2 and Queen Street, Wairoa.

Lake WaikaremoanaAt 2127 square kilometres, Te Urewera is home to Lake Waikaremoana an area popular with walkers, kayakers, hunters, campers and fly-fishing enthusiasts.

The 46 kilometres Lake Waikaremoana Track is a 3-4 day hike along the western side that takes in ancient bush, remote beaches, abundant native birdlife, and magnificent vistas.

Māhia Beach

Māhia Peninsula is a long-time summer holiday retreat and a magnet for fishers, divers and surfers. It is one of New Zealand’s most reliable surfing destinations so there’s always a wave on somewhere. Fishermen love it because they can launch boats on either side of the peninsula, providing access to outstanding fishing and diving in almost any weather. The peninsula has pristine sandy beaches and offers a 3.5 kilometre walking track through one of the last remaining lowland coastal forests on the East Coast. It’s a great spot to rent a holiday home or camp at the local holiday park.

Māhia is also home to Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1, the first orbital launch site in New Zealand.

Central Hawke’s Bay Waipukurau & Waipawa

Central Hawke’s Bay runs from Pukehou and Otane in the north to Takapau in the south.

Waipukurau is the agricultural hub of Central Hawke’s Bay, with a vibrant main street and accommodation. It’s a perfect base to start day trips - pop into the Information Centre at the old Railway Station to tap into some handy local knowledge.

Waipawa is just 5 minutes’ drive north of Waipukurau. Dotted along the main street are a number of boutique shops and cafés, and you’ll also find the Central Hawke’s Bay Settlers Museum which offers a nostalgic glimpse into the area’s past. Over on State Highway 50, the small town of Ongaonga is also home to a well-preserved collection of original historic buildings.

The Ruahine Ranges sits on the western side and is home to some excellent walking and tramping tracks, including a must-do walk to Sunrise Hut. To the east you’ll find

six unique beaches, offering a different experience from swimming, diving, fishing or a relaxing stay with a seaside view.

The spectacular Te Angiangi Marine Reserve, a whopping 138ha reef running from Blackhead Beach to Aramonana, means the kids can explore rock pools and sea life while you swim, dive, fish and snorkel along the coast.

Te Paerahi Beach, Porangahau’s main beach front, home to a huge stretch of white sand, is famed for superb diving and fishing, and is ideal for exploring on foot or horseback.

Public Trust Office, Napier

Hawke’s Bay is known amongst Art Deco enthusiasts across the world for its architecture.

Napier’s Art Deco Precinct in and around the Art Deco Masonic Hotel on Marine Parade, The Dome and the Art Deco Trust building provide a gathering place and convenient stopover for tours, walks and other Art Deco events.

Following the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake in 1931, the citizens were tasked with the reconstruction of their two cities. Napier today has 140 original Art Deco buildings, while Hastings has a similar number in the Art Deco, Spanish Mission and Stripped Classical styles.

The Art Deco Trust on Tennyson Street has an extensive range of information relating to the cities’ architectural heritage. It is also where all walks and tours begin.

16 Hawke’s Bay Visitor Guide 2019

Hawke’s Bay’s warm, Mediterranean climate has fostered a thriving food and wine scene, paying homage to the seasons while building a dedicated local and international following.

As New Zealand’s oldest and second largest wine growing region, Hawke’s Bay is known for its full-bodied reds, with more than 80 percent of the country’s plantings of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah grapes. Hawke’s Bay’s terroir is also ideal for producing world-class Chardonnays. Choose your favourite way to explore the vineyards – by bike, car, or have someone else guide you – there are plenty of great local guides who offer wine tours and loads of local knowledge.

Mark your diary now for F.A.W.C! (that’s the Food and Wine Classic), — Hawke’s Bay’s own “out of the box” food and wine event series. Held for a month in winter and over ten days in summer (early November), it’s a showcase of all that’s good about food and wine in Hawke’s Bay.

Napier’s CBD, Ahuriri, West Quay, Hastings and Havelock North all offer great food and dining options for any budget. There are new breweries, cideries, urban wineries and great cafés popping up all the time.

For exceptional dining there are a host of restaurants across the region. In the 2018 Cuisine Good Food Awards, Elephant Hill was recognised as New Zealand's best winery restaurant, while Pacifica, Bistronomy, Craggy Range restaurant, Te Awa and Elephant Hill all received awards.

WalkingFrom sweeping coastline to rugged native bush of the Ruahine Ranges, walking will take you to some of Hawke’s Bay’s most beautiful and otherwise inaccessible places. There are numerous walks to cater for all fitness levels and ambitions.

For the more urban walkers, wander through the Art Deco and Spanish Mission streets of Napier and Hastings, and head to the Hawke’s Bay Trails for a longer walk.

For the more adventurous, there is an incredible range of natural attractions and wilderness conservation areas that can be explored via the well-established network of walking tracks.

The Department of Conservation (DOC) builds and maintains walking tracks all over Hawke’s Bay. These range from just a few hours, to single day, overnight and multi-day treks. Lake Waikaremoana in Urewera is one of New Zealand’s Great Walks, with more than 20 tracks to lead you though ancient forests and habitats of native birdlife.

On the eastern flanks of the Maungaharuru Range, about 60 kilometres northwest of Napier, the 800-hectare Boundary Stream Scenic Reserve provides a magical setting for a range of day walks.

Central Hawke’s Bay has a number of historical walks over some of the region’s oldest sheep stations. Walks can also be taken along its spectacular coastline where there are plenty of fishing opportunities to be had for the ambling angler. Sunrise Track is particularly popular.

Waimarama Beach

BeachesMāhia Peninsula has several safe sandy swimming beaches, which also provide access to some of the North Island’s prized surf breaks.

25 minutes north of Napier, the sandy beaches at Waipatiki and Tangoio are smaller and less populated than the city beaches at Westshore and Sandy Bay near Ahuriri.

Ocean Beach and Waimarama Beach in Hastings District offer great swimming and surfing.

The Central Hawke’s Bay coast has a succession of beautiful beaches including Kairakau, Mangakuri, Pourerere, Aramoana, Blackhead, and Porangahau. Allow at least an hour’s driving time from Hastings.

Kairakau, Pourerere and Porangahau have camping grounds and/or freedom camping sites next to the beach.

Te Angiangi Marine Reserve covers 1.3 nautical miles off Blackhead Beach and provides excellent snorkeling and swimming in Stingray and Shelly Bays.

All beaches are well signposted.

The Hawke’s Bay coastline is dotted with beachside settlements.

Experience some of the North Island’s most spectacular headwater fisheries and wilderness experiences in the Mohaka and Ngaruroro Rivers, or try spin or fly fishing for brown and rainbow trout.

For excellent surf casting action, there’s the entire coast from Mahanga Beach (Māhia) to Porangahau. The river mouths of the Tuki Tuki, Tutaekuri, and Ngaruroro Rivers are good places to start – it’s also worth checking out Napier’s Perfume Point, and Tangoio beach, which lies about 20 minutes north.

Book a fishing guide or one of the sea fishing charters operating throughout Hawke’s Bay.

FishingHawke’s Bay is home to a spectacular range of fishing spots, from freshwater fisheries to lakes and deep-water fishing grounds.

Zeffer Cider Co Hastings

Welcome to Zeffer – the home of real New Zealand cider crafted in sunny Hawke’s Bay by a few friends. We make premium craft cider with an antipodean twist and some important folk even say it’s amongst the best in the world. We’ve certainly collected a few awards along the way to vouch for its excellence.

Our story in fact began 10 years ago with our founders Sam and Hannah and the seed of an idea to craft a true New Zealand cider made from locally sourced apples. Equipped with an apple press and sheer determination, Sam turned his winemaking hands to producing our fi rst batch of cider. The fi rst drop was sold at the Matakana Markets to rave reviews and kickstarted a decade-long journey of cider crafting. Our cidermaking expeditions led us to our new home, cidery and taproom here in sunny Hawke’s Bay where you’ll fi nd Sam, Hannah and the rest of our team crafting and serving real, all-natural cider.

Come visit our new Taproom & Bar and try everything from our original Crisp Apple Cider and cult classic Apple Crumble Cider to limited seasonal releases. You can fi ll your own fl agon, send cider home to your door step or simply enjoy a fl ight of cider in the sun overlooking our (little) orchard.

We’re open:

Summer: (Oct – April): 7 days, check our website for opening hours

Winter: Check our website for opening days and hours
