What travelers are saying
- johnnyroadmapNantwich, UK211 contributionsWhat a lovely way to spend part of my Sunday strolling along and taking in the scenery. What a nice place to live with so many activities spread along the beach for both children and adults. Spend an hour here and it just unwinds your soul.Written April 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kylie ShaverQueenstown, New Zealand83 contributionsWe came at the end of lunch service so we ordered from the snack menu. We got the chicken bites, potato wedges and cheesy bread. The food was delicious. We also got a glass of bubbles and it was very smooth. Really enjoyed our snacks outside and the views!

- Tyson H1 contributionWe LOVED the beautiful town. The history, culture was very exciting and it was a perfect honeymoon spot for a local wine!
Cocktail fav: Lone star
Dinner fav: Thirsty Whale
We enjoyed: Bluffs lookout, MGT, Sunken Gardens
Recommendation: Go to MGT and invest time looking at the earthquake information and then learn about the buildings and town.
Tip: Go on a Thurs-Sun when most of the cellar doors are open.Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not very big but well set out so easy to see everything .
Plenty of different type of fish as well as turtles, frogs. lizards, penguins and a Kiwi bird, as far as I can remember that is the first time I have seen a Kiwi Bird , after that we bought a Kiwi Bird key chain for one of the Grandsons to put on his school bag.

- Kevin PWaihi Beach, New Zealand479 contributionsWell I thought this was going to be another boring bike trail. Boy was I wrong! Starting from the Napier CBD we cycled 31km along the 4m wide bike trail along the foreshore, through the dunes, then the wetlands past Clive, then inland though the orchards to finish at Havelock North.
Throughout every 2-3km there are explanation boards about the discovery and settlement of the area. And the development of the horticultural industries.
At the 8km mark the Waitangi Park on the foreshore presents an excellent demonstration of astro navigation for transiting the Pacific Ocean as used by the early Polynesian explorers.
If you time this ride right, you can use the Havelock-Napier bus to either start or finish your journey back to the start, about a 40min bus trip. And they all have bike carriers on them. Although it will cost you at $2pp ;).Written December 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The estate is gorgeous, so nice to see it’s recovered well after Gabrielle.
The wine tasting at the cellar door was fabulous. The host was lovely; knew her stuff about the wine and the area. She also gave us some great recommendations of other things to do in the area; we love to see businesses supporting others. The sculpture walk around the premise was lovely. It was good to get some fresh air after the wines..
the wines themselves were all great and reasonably priced. There was a good range and price point for all budgets.
Will definitely be back!Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
