Hawke’s Bay

Situated on the East Coast of the North Island, the sunny Hawke’s Bay region is a favourite destination for food and wine lovers. Known for its artisan food producers and local farmers’ markets in Napier, Hasting and Havelock North, the area has a rural charm, with a mix of steep hills and plains.
