Scenery, sunshine, fine wine and gourmet food – welcome to Wine Country!

Situated on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, Hawke’s Bay is an idyllic lifestyle destination.  

It’s a region of contrasts – think mountains and rivers, vineyards and orchards, coastal hideaways and lush rolling farmland, plus a pleasing mix of tiny townships and two vibrant cities.

And while the pace seems somewhat more relaxed than that of larger centres, thriving business activities underpin everything that takes place in the region.

The difference here is that we want – and have – it all!

An idyllic climate, wonderful natural resources, and fantastic food and wine give Hawke’s Bay a lifestyle unmatched in New Zealand.

Whether it’s relaxing at a local winery enjoying lunch or taking the kids to the beach for a bit of ‘R & R’ Hawke’s Bay really does have it all.  There are plenty of family attractions to keep you and the kids entertained for hours!

The region stretches from gorgeous beaches and coastline in the East to the rugged mountain ranges in the West, with fertile plains in between.

And whether you want the peace and tranquility offered in rural areas or the bustle of an urban setting it’s all here waiting for you.

Lack of congestion means more freedom to choose where you want to live and work. Short, easy commutes in picturesque surroundings get the day off to a great start, while work environments with pleasant surroundings lead to a more relaxed atmosphere that’s nevertheless conducive to serious business.

But, forget business for a moment. Consider instead the reality of life in Hawke’s Bay…

“Five cars at the lights – gee, I hate rush hour!”

“The thing I hate about the beach is getting sand in my palm pilot.”

“Arrrghhh, not another winery lunch meeting.”

“Yes, I have to admit I’m a little tired of my 15 minute commute.”

“Gee it's great to step out of another meeting and get back into the sunshine.”
