Hastings Top 10 Holiday Park

Think Hastings - think fine wine,food and Art Deco.

The district entertains thousands of visitors annually at world-class wineries, restaurants, and cafes and provide a huge range of lifestyle options.

There?s also a huge range of recreational and leisure activities to do but no visitor should miss Hastings? classic landmarks: Rush Munro?s old-fashioned ice cream garden; the spectacular view from Te Mata Peak; the Spanish Mission architecture of Hastings? city; and the weekly Sunday morning ritual at the Farmer?s Market showcasing locally-grown produce and quality specialist foods.

There?s affordable fun at many of the city?s parks and swimming pools, notably Splash Planet - a water wonderland of excitement especially for kids set within 6.5ha of beautiful parkland.

Havelock North offers traditional village charm with cafes and boutique shops.

The surrounding Te Mata area abounds with vineyards, olive groves, restaurants, an award winning cheese centre and sticky honey factory. Visitors can skydive or paraglide off the Peak, relax on a golden beach or fish the renowned Tukituki; go jet boating and white water rafting on Hawke?s Bay rivers; or for the really energetic tramp the Kaweka and Ruahine Ranges.

There?s safe bike riding on the nearly completed figure eight Rotary pathway that incorporates some of Hawke?s Bay?s best scenery or many bush walks under DOC?s protection - the highlight being the world?s largest mainland gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers.

So get out and enjoy yourself. For more information on things to do in Hastings see www.hastings.co.nz
