one of Hawke Bay's best orchards.......the guide was very friendly and took us around the orchard in his buggy truck. He let us feed his pet donkey and goats with apples and gave us very detailed information about the fruits grown in the orchard. We got to get down the truck and see closer the fruit trees. they also allowed us to pluck a few of the ripe fruits. all in all, it was a very enjoyable trip. :D
A landmark of the town is Bluff Hill which is home for many residents who can afford the real estate and provides views of the town, beaches of Perfume Point and Westshore, past the newly upgraded airport and out towards Whirinaki. Bluff Hill also overlooks one of New Zealand's busiest ports (see pic 2), transporting timber, local fruit and meat products to worldwide destinations. Over summer luxury cruise liners berth.
Not quite as noticeable as that at Hastings, Napier has quite a few examples of Spanish Mission architecture mixed in between all the Art Deco buildings, and I must say, I soon developed a very good appreciation for it also. It had a very mediterranean feel to it (and so did the city while the day was so blue).
Rebuilt after an earthquake in the early 1930s, this small town on the North Island is famous for its beautiful art-deco buildings. The art museum sponsors guided tours of the architecture on Sunday afternoons. The National Aquarium is one of the best in the Southern Hemisphere - in addition to turtles, seahorses, sharks and other fish, the aquarium has rare tuatara lizards. There are a number of other tourist attractions, including a miniature village (Lilliput), Marineland of New Zealand (dolphin and seal shows) and the Nocturnal Wildlife Centre.
Be sure to pick up an Art Trail brochure from the tourist information office, which lists more than 40 home studios, workshops and galleries of local artists. While in the area, you may want to go hot-air ballooning over the Hawke's Bay countryside or go wine tasting at some of the the country's best vineyards.
