Central Hawke's Bay boasts stunning attractions in a rural setting for a down to earth New Zealand escape. Scenic Ruahine Ranges to lonely sandy beaches, lush green farming countryside with plenty of sheep, cattle and trout-laden rivers.
This summer enjoy a few holes on one of the six golf courses. Wade through the region's many rivers in search of the wily brown trout, join a deep-sea fishing charter from one of the easily accessed beaches or take a walk though one of our native scenic reserves. Ascend the hill with the world's longest place name, Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu. Go for the ride of your life on any of the mapped cycle routes, a four-wheel drive safari or take a flight in a 1936 de Havilland Tiger Moth – it's naturally beautiful visiting Central Hawke’s Bay.
If retail therapy is your idea of fun, there are galleries dotted throughout the region and what's great is you can always find a carpark!
There's a timeless quality of stately gardens and colonial homesteads that are open for scenic walks, high noon tea, private functions & dinners. Get a taste of rural life from one of our many farm stays, and if it’s rural hospitality you're after, enjoy our country pubs.
