In The Know
Did You Know?
Hawkes Bay is a picturesque region of hills sweeping down to the central east coast, a fertile plain popularly known as "the fruit bowl of New Zealand." It is also a thriving wine producer, with a number of older vineyards. Tragically, the twin cities of Napier and Hastings suffered an earthquake in 1931.
The rebuilding of Napier in the contemporary architecture of the time has made its fascinating art deco design an attraction and the traffic-free malls in the center of the town create a pleasant shopping environment.| COUNTRY |
