Hawke's Bay

Wine Country

A mere 1½ hour drive from Taupo over the ranges that ensure a Mediterranean climate; Hawke's Bay has long hot summers as well as clear blue skies in the middle of winter. That weather guarantees you'll be spoiled for choice of things to do.

In fact, and we don't say this lightly, we reckon you'll love it so much you'll want to stay forever!

Hawke's Bay is one of the sunniest regions of New Zealand. Sheltered by ranges to the west the Hawke's Bay landscape opens up to reveal rolling hills and fertile plains. The perfect environment for orchards and, of course, internationally acclaimed wineries.

The city of Hastings and the township of Havelock North are nestled among the orchards and vines. The art deco city of Napier sits by the glistening waters of the Pacific - paradise!

With an annual average of 2200, sunshine hours are high, while rainfall and humidity are low. In fact, Hawke's Bay has the second highest sunshine hours and the lowest rainfall in the North Island. Whatever time of the year you visit, you're pretty much guaranteed to have sunny, dry weather - perfect for exploring this stunning region.
