The Hawke's Bay region
Hawke's Bay's long warm summers make it an ideal tourist destination. It is home to international award winning wineries, vineyards and restaurants. The twin cities - Napier which is world renowned for it's Art Deco buildings and Hastings for its spanish style - are both just a short 15 or 20minute drive from the cottage.
A wide variety of artists and craftspeople live and exhibit in the bay, many with home based studios and workshops you are welcome to visit. There is an established Art Trail.
The coastal Haumoana and Te Awanga region (in which the cottage is located) is home to many of these attractions, including the large gannet colony on Cape Kidnappers, one of the largest such mainland bird sanctuaries in the world.
The weather lends itself to a great array of sports - swimming, hang gliding, etc. There is great trout fishing in the rivers, sea charters for fishing or just pleasure, internationally recognised golf courses and local courses as well ....
Hawkes Bay also hosts several summer weekend festivals.
