Hawke's Bay

Hawke's Bay is a region on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. The population centre is on the Heretaunga Plains, consisting of the twin cities of Napier and Hastings and satellite towns. The coastal areas are sunny and relatively dry, due to the location on the east coast. The Heretaunga Plains are renowned for their horticulture – orchards, vineyards and gardens. As the cities suffered great destruction in an earthquake in 1931 and were rebuilt in the 1930s, they are now known for their concentration of Art Deco architecture from that period.

The Hawke's Bay neighborhood gets its name from Hawke Bay, a large bay in the North Island's eastern coastline. The neighborhood extends south almost to Woodville (New Zealand) | Woodville in Wairarapa.

Hawke's Bay was one of the original colonial provinces when New Zealand was colonised by British settlers in the mid to late nineteenth century. The original province stretched from the 39th parallel (north of Napier) to the Manawatu River south of Woodville, and this area has its own anniversary day public holiday, Hawke's Bay Show Day, which is held on the Friday before Labour Day (the fourth Monday in October). The small part of modern Hawke's Bay north of the 39th parallel observes Auckland Anniversary Day on the Monday closest to 29 January instead.

The flat fertile land has been developed for farming. Initially sheep, later beef and dairying as well as forestry, orcharding and cropping. The warm dry sunny climate makes the region ideal for winegrowing and the vineyard industry has developed strongly in recent years.

Travel as a Muslim to Hawke's Bay

By car

• State Highway 2 passes north-south through the centre of Napier and Hastings and the provincial towns.
• State Highway 5, the road from Taupo, joins State Highway 2 just north of Napier.
• From the south, State Highway 50 provides a scenic route that is more direct to Napier, but bypasses Waipukurau, Waipawa and Hastings. It is of a slightly lower standard than State Highway 2 and has some narrow winding sections that need to be taken slowly as well as a couple of single lane bridges with sharp approach corners at the bottom of steep grades, so take care.
• The historic Taihape road over the Kaweka Ranges could be entertaining in past times. It has an incredibly steep bit called the 'Gentle Annie' and the store keeper at the bottom kept a team of draught horses especially to carry wagons over this one piece of road. The road is now sealed all the way. It comes out at Fernhill, halfway between Hastings (New Zealand) | Hastings and Napier.
