Best New Zealand Day Trips in the Hawke's Bay
Hawke's Bay is known for its beaches and wineries and so there were no real surprises there when our Bayswater Vehicles Hastings Branch Manager, Paul Kerr sent through a trio of links to his favourite ways to spend a day in this beautiful region. And number one was - you guessed it - visiting wineries.
1. See the sights from two wheels. For this one, you can leave your Subaru parked up in the garage and get on your e-bike instead to take a wonderful tour covering around 20km and visiting wineries, a cidery and a brewhouse with the On Yer Bike, Beer, Wine and Cider e-Bike Tour.

2. Take a drive out to Outfoxed - a stunning seaside property in Hawke’s Bay set on a 400-acre farm overlooking the South Pacific with breathtaking views in the heart of the charming Te Awanga coastal village. Outfoxed welcomes groups of any size that are celebrating a special occasion; getting away with teammates or clients; relaxing with family and friends; or preparing for the big day. Think clay target shooting, archery, knife throwing and lawn games. Paul highly recommends Outfoxed for a fun packed and memorable day with bonus awe-inspiring views. Find out more at outfoxed.co.nz
3. Head to Havelock North and up to Te Mata Park. Enjoyed every day by hundreds of walkers and joggers, Te Mata Park has an extensive network of well-formed tracks that provide varied landscapes, views and gradients. Choose from one of the seven walking tracks which offer a variety of options to explore some spectacular areas of the park on foot. Find out more at tematapark.co.nz
