Lifestyle
Situated on the east coast of New Zealands North island, Hawkes Bay is a popular destination for tourist, and those wanting to relocate to an area where the lifestyle offers the best of both worlds

Napier is on the coast and famous for its Art Deco architecture. Hastings is located inland on the fertile Heretaunga Plans, well known for its orchards and cropping. To the north, Wairoa is a strong rural community, and in Centre Hawkes Bay, Waipukurau provides the retail and service centre for the predominately farming district

There is a strong sense of community in Hawkes Bay, and whatever your interests, chances are there are clubs and community organisations who will offer you a warm welcome. Restaurants, cafes, arts and cultural activities rival those on offer in bigger centres, while the Mediterranean climate, quality public and private schools makes Hawkes Bay a prime destination for those wanting to improve their quality of life. Water sports and fishing are year round activities, rivers, lakes and native bush also provide opportunity for outdoor pursuits

With over 2,245 hours of sunshine each year, and warm, dry summers its little wonder that Hawkes Bay is one of the New Zealands foremost wine producing regions. Hawkes Bay is known as Wine Country with over 40 wineries producing quality wines ranging from chardonnay to cabernet sauvignon. To compliment the sublime wines, Hawkes Bay is renowned as a gourmet destination for fresh and seasonal food, exotic and organic meat, fruit and vegetables grown and processed in the Bay. County style markets provide an opportunity for you to meet with growers and sample their wares.

Hawkes Bay is only fours hours drive from Wellington, five hours drive to Auckland, and an hour and a half to Taupo with its famous trout-fishing lake, rivers and ski-resorts
