Eastland / Gisborne

Location
This hilly North Island region reaches out to the Pacific Ocean, and is the most easterly in New Zealand.

General
The East coast is best known for its high annual sunshine hours, stunning coastal scenery and glorious country gardens. An area of high Maori population, it is one of the best places in the country to discover Maori heritage. The region is also one of New Zealand's prime grape-growing regions, renowned for its Chardonnay wine.

Main Attractions / Activities
Gisborne is the first city in the world to welcome the new day. Its surf beaches and long hot summers have always attracted New Zealanders on holiday. The Gisborne area also has some of the country's best surviving carved Maori meeting houses and churches.

South-west of Gisborne is Te Urewera National Park, the largest wilderness area in the North Island, with magnificent walks and trails centred on beautiful Lake Waikaremoana.

Hawke's Bay

Location
The Hawke's Bay region encompasses the area around Hawke's Bay on the east coast of the North Island.

General
This region is known for its sunny climate, sheltered coastal plains and long-established vineyards. It is also one of the country's largest pip fruit growing areas. Napier, the main city of the region was razed by earthquake and fire in 1931, and rebuilt in the art deco style fashionable at the time. What makes Napier so special is that it has one of the largest concentrations of Art Deco buildings in the world.

Main Attractions/Activities
A unique attraction is the Cape Kidnappers Gannet Sanctuary, the largest mainland colony in the world. It can be reached by 4WD vehicles, tractor and trailer, unimog or four-wheel motorbike, and at low tide on foot.

The Art Deco Walk is a permanent attraction, but each February there is the Brebner Print Art Deco Weekend, a not too serious celebration of the art deco style. The Hawke's Bay vineyards are all within a short distance of Napier and Hastings cities, with over 30 open to the public for free wine tasting. Many also operate cafes and restaurants in both indoor and outdoor settings. The region is especially known for its fine Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties.
