Napier/Hastings

Napier and Hastings. Sunshine, cycle trails and cellar doors for days. 
Welcome to Hawke's Bay, where Napier's art deco flair meets Hastings' market-town charm and the whole place runs on sunshine, wine and easy-going energy. The Hawke's Bay Trails offer some of the best cycling in the country. Cruise past vineyards, orchards and coastlines - no Lycra required. 

Start in Napier with a stroll along Marine Parade, then stop in at the National Aquarium of New Zealand to meet a few penguins and a very chill kiwi. Over in Hastings, the farmers' market is a weekend ritual, and the cellar doors are made for slow afternoons and generous pours. 

For the best view in town, head up Te Mata Peak. Walk it, bike it or drive it - the payoff is big either way. With over 200 vineyards, 70 wineries and 20 cellar doors, there's food, wine, fresh air and photo ops at every turn, Napier and Hastings serve up everything you need for a perfect weekend.
