Renowned worldwide for its 1930’s Art Deco architecture, Napier is a popular year round destination as it boasts over 2,200 hours of sunshine a year.

Visit the National Aquarium of NZ, the Hawkes Bay museum, Marineland, Cape Kidnappers – home to the world’s largest gannet colony. Stroll along Marine Parade on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, chill out in one of the 30 cafes dotted around the town centre, offering the best of local produce, or, venturing further out of town to one of the many wineries, there plenty of choice for the traveler.

Long hot summers, complimented by mild winters, provide a wide variety of delicious fresh produce. Don’t miss visiting the Hawkes Bay Farmers Market which is held every Saturday morning; relax in the atmosphere of a traditional village market where you can talk directly to the growers and taste a variety of products form handmade cheeses, bread, ice cream, fresh fruit, vegetables and gourmet meat.

With over 40 wineries in close proximity to Hastings, producing some of the best wines NZ has to offer it would be virtually a crime not to visit at least a few of them! Many of the vineyards have on-site restaurants, or picnic areas, so why not indulge in a little wine tasting followed by a relaxing meal, enjoying the best the area has to offer.
