Napier & Hawkes Bay holidays - Lush, sophisticated and leisurely

Enjoy some of New Zealand's most decadent wines

Made up of rural farmlands, mountain ranges and, of course, the gorgeous beaches that are so prominent on this island, it’s something quite special – a place of eclectic experiences.

Napier is a unique city that’s houses some of the best art deco buildings in the area which creates an interesting 1930s-style streetscape – in fact, it has the largest concentration of inner-city art deco buildings in the world. A charismatic place, it’s one of the highlights of Hawkes Bay.

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the region with a bike ride through the scenic landscape, take a wine tour or visit Te Mata peak for astonishing views.
