    What 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.

    We 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! The staff were lovely as well.

    The best wine tasting experience at any winery in New Zealand . The Host Sharon is apure delight , witty and knows her wine.
    we also had a fabulous lunch. The wines are also incredibly good value compared to some more pretentious wineries in the area . A family business we highly recommend a visit. Simply wonderful

    What an incredible winery. The Cellar Door space is stunning. The staff were very welcoming. We did the Grand Reserve tasting and it was really nice. Di hosted our tasting and she was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and friendly. We had a great tasting here.

    We 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.

    I just loved it. I went there with my husband. We loved the track and mesmerising fall. Just wow. 🤩 we spent time with nature. It was so relaxing to see the falls.
    Don’t go there if weather not permits.

    We went here as part of a tour off the ship .
    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.
    Well worth a visit if you like that sort of thing .

    This is a great place I would recommend for you to visit if you come to Wellington. Plan your day very well and come in the morning to give yourself enough time to explore. There is cafes at the sights for you to eat. The difference exhibited sections are amazing. Such an interesting and insightful place to visit with your family.

    Peter was a great ambassador for the area- and asking a few questions of us was able to provide great guidance and advice for our two day stay in this area- have done information centres around the world- and it’s great to have them giving information and guidance first and then selling tours/ experiences. thank you

    Well 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 ;).

    So pleased to see Linden open after the cyclone. 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!
