Enjoyed their friendly service and local drop. The pizza was excellent.

A very cool spot to have a beer with friends, friendly staff and helpful. I was recommended the Gisborne Gold and/or Green. Both light and refreshing beers, very nice. It's a great place to visit and cool off a hot summer day with a drink before dinner.

Great place to visit if in Gisborne, plenty of beers on tap my pick the Pilsners although you can’t really go in and not have a Gisborne Gold! They do some good snack bar food and pizzas butter chicken one was tasty. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere worth a visit.

Great beer, a better selection than expected, good food too.

Great selection of different beers. They also offer tasting paddles, which I love having at different breweries. The only issue with these tasting paddles is you can't choose any 5 beers, you can only choose a pre-selected selection of 5 beers. It would be much better if you could choose any beers you wanted. They have a good selection of pizzas which are delicious

Excellent beer, and huge variety, going beyond the usuals (as IPA, APA, lagers and stouts). My favorite is mango and passion fruit sour. Also, the pizza is pretty good. We would only like if they are open a bit later than 8pm, as we like to go out a bit later :)

Amazing beer! We had No access and Superdelic saison and both were fabulous. On Mon-Fri they have lunch pizza combo (small pizza and any drink) from 12-4PM and we had it with peperoni pizza and pizza with chicken and sour cream with sesami seeds and both were above expectations! Really thin crispy crust and with a lot of topping, great deal. We came here at 3 pm after Railbikes tour and we were properly hungry and thisrty and this was just perfect. Recommending both, this cosy Brewery and Railbikes as well. Simply perfect day.

My partner and I went for lunch and a wine tasting. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable about their wine. The service was great and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend the duck, pork belly, and the sticky date pudding!

Nice lovely place. Welcoming staffs. I don’t drink wine, but those in my team enjoyed wine tasting and ended up buying a Chardonnay. Not in menu, but they made a coffee for my mum 😊. But if you are a vegan, the only item in menu is Canneloni. We were 50% vegan in our team, and had to order two Canneloni coz no option.

Didn’t wine taste, we only sat down for lunch after a rail bike tour. Service was excellent, location - stunning and crucially, the food was delicious. The manager was apologetic that there was a bit of a wait but the wait times were pretty reasonable & the food came out relatively quick. We had the hummus dip with fresh crunchy bread, a cannelloni with creamy ricotta spinach filling and sticky lamb ribs which was finger licking good. Highly recommend.

Excellent option. Having lunch by the vineyard is pretty special. We were a group of 10 celebrating the end of the year. They had several groups in different areas, a very busy day. However, the crew managed very well to serve us. We all enjoyed food, beers, wine, an awesome selection of ciders and the atmosphere. Definitely worth it.

I can't speak highly enough of this place. We did the wine tasting, and had a meal. The Vinyard owner was just so passionate about presenting his wines to us - he had us captivated. We tasted six wines for $7.50 nz per person, which we thought was very reasonable and the food was exceptional.

Absolutely amazing. A fabulous boutique winery. $5 for 5 wines and great hosting with them. Also dined and the food was superb. Desserts devine. A must if in Gisborne.

Lovely experience. Food was delicious (we had the tandoori chicken and chicken pate). Wonderful wine tasting with the cellar master (and owner) Shona. Wonderful range of wines, we took away a mixed case. Highly recommend, and recommend making a reservation in advance.

Beautiful outdoor eating area, although it is right beside the noisy highway. Decent white wines, and great food here, especially the pizzas. Service was friendly and informative regarding the wines.

Wine was good. New staff who did not know the wine, which was odd. Good bread with the wine. Live music was a bonus. The children of the family who owned the winery were ok for me but others were not happy about how boisterous bordering on feral they were.

Pizza was lovely. Service was friendly, and attentive. Pleasant environment with sunny, shady, and even bean bag seating options... We got a discount from grabone.

Loved this place once we figured how the "picnic" menu worked. 1. There's a big self-service fridge where you grab Ciabatta, crackers, cheeses, olives, pesto etc. yourself. 2. Prices for the different items are on a black-board by the cabinet (sorry I should have included a photo). 3. Cutlery is also by the cabinet, grab what you want and take it to the cash register. 4. Order a glass of wine, or a taster ($12 - cheap!!) of 4. There was only one red available for tasting when we were there. 5, Take your wine and "picnic" outside to one of the tables, or eat inside, and enjoy! Food was great, wine was yummy, price was good, atmosphere was great. The French staff member was friendly and helpful. The only downside was the noise from the road, and the building and grounds could do with a cobweb/leaf cleanup.

Lovely family run business. Very casual service as kids learn the ropes (part of its uniqueness). Pizzas are amazing, worth the drive! Love the wines and if you're lucky, there's really good live music!

Fantastic experience. Family friendly. The kids were able to easily play. Gourmet picnics available to build your own. Excellent explanations of wine.

We had an amazing experience when visiting Wrights Vineyards and winery. We spent a nice time and had the chance to taste several wines, the Chardonnay Reserve is outstanding.

Stayed for one night on our bike ride. All the facilities a cyclist needs. Very homely accommodation and amazing food. We couldn't have asked for more. Will definitely be back again. Thank you

Terrific combination of beautiful surroundings, extraordinary staff who are committed to helping you, good selection of tracks to hike. Te Ah at reception (I hope I spelled his name correctly) was like a friend trying to ensure I had the best possible visit. I enjoyed plunger coffee and a cheese toasty (with onions) - $5/ea. I can understand where most scenic reserves/conservation areas are free; the idea of paying a fee may be problematic. This is worth your time and money.

Went to the dog day it was great had a photographer on site took some photos of the dogs looked at them on Facebook had a good afternoon tea it was a good day out.

Great place to spend a day walking and soaking up the huge number of trees and the bird song. Hilly, but good tracks.

What a treasure this place is (especially if you love trees & plants)! Beautiful gardens and a very peaceful atmosphere.

Perfect for a hot day, well put together - plenty of walks

What a national treasure. It was the most wonderful experience enjoying botanical nature at it's best!

Around 30km from Gisborne. I was lucky to visit this with much water. Small toilet and benches are there.

Lots of car park available, note that it has one car lane. The waterfall is seen straight away when still driving towards the car park. Easy walk down to the waterfall, it can be muddy. The view is amazing, the waterfall is massive. To get as close as possible to the waterfall will require going through mud and rocks. A table with benches is available if you wish to have a picnic.

That was amazing experience over there that was the perfect sport to picnic, swim and sliding downs the rock must visit everybody 😀

As it has been raining a lot lately, the falls were spectacular and we got some great photos. The water was warm, though you need to watch for submerged tree branches when walking out in the water and swimming. At lot of tree debris have been washed down stream during the recent storm's and could do with clearing. There's park benches by the waterfall so a nice place to relax, have a picnic and watch the waterfall.

Well worth a visit. Only 12km further on from Eastwoodhill NZMCA Park which is another great park up.

It was closed due to the bank side being damaged, so I parked at the entrance on the side of the road. Has a very big car park, toilets, rubbish bin, and table and seating. Waterfall is right at car park, so very little effort to see this spectacular waterfall

Definitely the best stop when in Gisbourne! So much fun to be had. Make sure to bring a body board to slide down the natural slip n slide. Then spend some time at the waterfall, can even walk behind & slide or jump off. Amazing fun for all ages

Always been an incredible place with some dark New Zealand history though, but a fun place to go to, just be aware it's a rock slide so be careful cause you can get hurt.

The rock slide is a lovely natural wonder which looks like it would be fun on the right day. The reason for the low rating is re all the untidy Kiwis, there was rubbish all over the place, even in the water, blow up mattresses, tyres, bottles etc. The rubbish bins were overflowing with rubbish on the ground. If you have driven all this way with the food, drink, body boards, mattresses etc, take it all home with you. This was the worst I have ever come across in NZ. Not a good picture.

There are two car parks, one at top and one at the bottom where the toilet is. There are tables and seating next to the rock slide. It's such an awesome way to cool off on a hot day. I highly recommend doing.

Looks like a great place to have fun sliding down the rock slides. There are warning signs up giving advice and injury is a possibility. We were on our own, so decided it wasn't safe to try, also no mobile phone connection available for emergency. I would definitely recommend a body board or mattress for sliding down. There's a fairly deep pool at the bottom, worth checking out for obstructions hidden under water before sliding (submerged free branches etc).

Such a great day out for everyone. For the adventurous the rockslide is terrific endless fun. You can go again and again. Make sure you bring a body board but if you forget there are some broken ones in the skips. You can also bring smaller children as there is an area suitable for them to play.

Good fun, best to take an inflatable mattress/ air bed for best use. Body boards are ok. Generally safe, however you can expect a few bruises and bumps if you come off your equipment. Can get busy during peak periods, most people only stay for an hour or two. Toilets available to go to or to get changed in which was a bonus

A lot of fun if you are adventurous - imagine it would be even better if there had been a good rainfall before. A boogie board with handles would be better and safer than the assortment of yoga mats, etc that we saw

Absolutely loved the experience here. We went on a week day and practically had the whole place to ourselves. The walk up to the top pools was just fabulous 👌felt like you were in another country (a very tropical feel) well done DoC. The top pools temps were good and the plunge pool was good too! Nice that these pools were tucked away for privacy from tge main pool down bottom. Fantastic and friendly service by Debbie at the office who gives you a thorough run down of the place. Only $20 per adult:-) for as long as you want. Thoroughly recommend stopping if you're popping through this way.

We had a lovely visit to the hot springs. Enjoyed both the inside and outside pools and the lovely reserve.

Avoid this place if looking for a peaceful and relaxing soak. There's a guy that is frequently there that plays his music loudly through his boom box and also does drumming, all right next to the pools. I spoke to the lady at reception who knows him by name and simply shrugged her shoulders with indifference. Even after I spelt out that paying $20 for a relaxing soak in native bush shouldn't have to put up with that stuff she couldn't have cared less. I won't be back give their couldn't care less attitude.

What a fantastic experience! Worth it for the walk in the Nikau alone. Lovely natural-feeling hot pool experience for the whole family. Interesting history too. We were so lucky to hit this on the first day open in two years, highly recommended, don't drive past! Check info on Facebook page as Google maps info needs updating. Currently closed Tuesday and Wednesday, open other days 11am-6pm.

Lovely place staff were friendly enjoyed our soak just some points to maybe look at the private pools could do with a clean as there was floating things in the water maybe a scoop or something to add and another thing the women's toilets there's only 2 showers maybe a time limit shower maybe future plans a sign saying please be mindful as I get it there's a door on the showers but nothing in the cubical

Absolutely delightful experience. Made extra special by the lovely Deb and Harmony. Two of the friendliest and sweetest woman you could ever meet.

The most amazing Nikau forest I have seen anywhere in New Zealand. The moss on all the rocks in the river crossings were also absolutely idyllic more so that I have seen elsewhere. The river crossings were an absolute highlight however these were a bit tricky with paths across high cliffs with big drop offs to walk, so certainly not for everyone. As an experienced tramper I had not expected much out of this reserve, but don't let the concrete path for the first five minutes fool you, a very worthwhile experience with a hot dip at the end.

Lovely walk on the track with good views and the caves was good to have a look.

Awesome! Went on a pretty wet day and didn't have appropriate footwear or a hardhat so we had to abort mission once partly in the cave. Gonna have to go back on a nice day with the right gears and explore.

Wonderful walk in, across farmland, first bit is steep, but the remainder of the walk in is easy. The bottom of the main cave can have patches of mud after rain, but I would recommend climbing the ladders and venturing further into the caves (note they stop 100M or so in) Bring a TORCH, and enjoy the caves! The family loved it!

A steep climb to the top of the hill, then down slightly to get to the cave entrance. I spent 58 minutes here including exploring the caves. There's a staircase to the bottom of the cave, then deep mud halfway to your knees throughout the cave. Please be careful. Cave exploration is dangerous. Don't go too deep.

Nice 30 min walk through astonishing landscape. Be prepared to get muddy in the cave

Very steep climb up the hill, saw some sheep and tried to not disturb them (lambing season). It was extremely windy, so hats must sit tightly on your head. The main cave is nice but muddy, we wore big hiking boots but still too muddy. Gumboots would have been better. We skipped the first ladder as the entrance to the higher cave did seem slippery and there was a crevasse you could fall into. All in all very nice tour, just be careful of the log trucks coming down the long gravel road (7km). I wouldn't recommend this road to very large campervans, as some parts of the road are quite narrow and you would have to drive backwards quite a bit in the case of a log truck coming.

It's great that the farmer allows us access through his property too experience these caves. They are not huge by any means and saw 3 glow worms. Still I would say it's worth it. Good foot wear and a torch a must

What a real treat to enjoy Movie Lovers night, watching one of the top 10 movies of all time in this charming, well run, hospitable little theatre. Excellent wine, too. Fabulous experience

Big big screen love our movie theatre

The seats need updated i went to seat down on a seat and one of the arm was broken or was missing arm

Haven't been there since I left wairoa back in the mid 60s but it was ok the seats where a tad uncomfortable.

Loved it, good old fashioned family cinema, perfect for a good film. Great prices great coffee and muffin deals. So pleased we didnt miss out, we were visitors to the area. Highly recommend.

Truly, stunning!

Wonderful experience, staff were friendly and helpful. Food was great and the cinema itself is beautiful and tidy. Going to make it a regular thing to do on the fortnightly :) will recommend in future to friends and family

Do NOT miss this museum. It's donation-based and one of the best authentic collections we've seen in our 7 weeks in NZ. Local families donated artwork, artifacts & historical knowledge. The extreme detail to cataloging the items from the early 1900s and late 1800s was impressive, sorted by interest. Iwi Chief from this town signed the original treaty with England & the museum did justice to the sad aftermath of British takeover. A mix of exhibits from Maori portraits & artifacts donared from local families, as well as early English settlers. While we visited, there was also a Bob Marley photogtaph exhibit. Nicely done! Donate as much as you can and go here!!!! (Then stop at Osler's Bakery) A wee local gift boutique is also housed in the museum.

Great visit, our Ancestors Sir James Carroll is along with many others beautifully represented amongst the awesome displays

Tatou Tatou - this little gem is on the main street of Wairoa. Local custodians work with volunteers preserving local history. Stop by and immerse yourself in something money can not buy, but your donations will make a big difference for the preservation of history, Maori tanga, and those generations who contributed to a wonderful town - past and present.

Stunning little museum put together by the community for the community and wide. Can feel the Wairoa connection all the way through.

Lots of information about Wairoa history. The interactive section was a favourite of ours. There are about 4 steps to access the museum. Access is by donation. There is plenty of free street parking. Staff were super friendly.

Great and informative service from staff on hand. Best experience for a bit of local history fix.

Excellent opportunity to do some research on History of Tribe and Township Development. Our Museum has a Computer Touch Table linked to nearly every aspect of History, plus all Items contained in the Museum and their background etc! A truly unique educational, easy and fun way of learning! The more you explore the more information it will present to you! Well worth visiting! Staff service is the best you will ever get anywhere!

We had decided to stop in Wairoa at the last minute and jumped off the bus. This place was very welcoming, helped us get transportation to our motel. Then when we had a 4 hour wait for our bus after checking out, stored our bags and suggested places to go in town. Very friendly and helpful.

Information that was given to us was, get a pie and sit by the river. We queried the waterfalls and the person we spoke to had no knowledge of whether the waterfalls around the areas were swimmable and which were the best spots.

Patient & helpful girl here. She made a phone call for us for accommodation & gave good info. She let us stay inside using wifi right up until she left herself. Lots of brochures & merchandise here plus free wifi.

Staff are helpful and friendly you can use the computer, find out about camping area places to visit maps of local area very informative and assortment of local craft jewelry small jars of honey also can book plane flight, intercity bus to Napier that can connect with the Napier airport also in the afternoon intercity bus takes passengers to Gisborne. You also find out what happening in the town

Friendly staff with great knowledge of the local area and of all attractions. Will go out of their way to provide you with everything you may require for your trip.

Austin was extremely helpful and friendly. He found the perfect lodging for us.

Air conditioning, friendly knowledgeable staff. Best place in Wairoa for private computer work and printing.

Love this place. A world away from civilisation. Relaxing or adventure, camping or hiking, swimming, or boating the choices here for a holiday are endless. I've been coming here for over 20 years. My kids have enjoyed many holidays here playing and fishing on the lake. Great for families or even go solo. The hike trails are really well maintained with tramping huts. One of NZs great walks. The views are stunning. Love it

Went for a ride up the Napier Taupo road and just before waipunga falls took a left through the whirinaki forest to minginui then turned right to head to lake waikeremoana absolutely amazing country, native bush as far as you can see . I was expecting old camping grounds but was pleasantly surprised and the nice modern looking facilities . Next time I will stay and have a look around but I had to get back home this day . Great ride

A hidden gem, beautiful Lake tucked deep into the back country. If you don't mind a few corners and dirt roads, check it out. Definitely off the beating track, but has that untouched feel to it.

I'd recommend going during the summer because there will be more people around and because it gets quite cold up there on the winter. The trek is not that hard, it does have some uphill parts that will make you a little tired depending on how heavy your stuff is. Don't forget to bring enough food if you're doing the whole walk, make sure you bring fire sources and a good camping knife. Water and wood are provided at the huts. You'll have beautifull views of the lake, it is worth a visit.

Beautiful Lake and heaps to do in the region. If coming from north the gravel road is intense and takes a good car and experienced driver. Definatley worth it when you get there it is beautiful and serene, the forest and surrounding lakes are also mind blowing. Ultimate place to relaxation and exploring nature at its finest and untouched. The photos form the lake high up are from Loos lookout its a 30 min walk up, and 15 mins down

Beautiful walk! If you are fit and don't stop all the time to take photos of the many point of view, you'll probably be much faster than what the sign are saying so take your time and enjoy!

Waikaremoana is a beautiful place with amazing views of the lake. Natural bush as far as the eyes can see. It has many walkways that are a mixture of easy and med hiking. I would recommend that you visit during summer time as winter can be challenging. With snow and road closures due to road/hill slips. Also if you visit please ensure to keep Te Urewera clean by taking all your rubbish with you when you leave. No electricity, No cell reception, No Gas and No Treated water. You can rent a beaken from the boat transportation service areas. We did trekking during winters and I will recommend you to try it out in Summers orelse trekking would be challenging. We were unable to use the tracks either.

The water is absolutely stunning and super safe for walking around. It’s nice and shallow, making it perfect for a refreshing summer swim! 🤩 Getting there is a breeze, so no worries about tough hikes or anything. If you’re looking for a fun spot to chill this summer, I definitely recommend checking it out!

Fairly easy and quick hike with a few washouts on the way, but possible to walk around them, there are clear paths made by other walkers. However, once you reach the stream, then bouldering on slippery rocks or crossing through the stream barefoot is needed to reach the waterfall. I would say definitely worth it if you are willing to do the bouldering/stream crossing to get to the waterfall, but if not, then this hike is not worth it, the view from afar is not very impressive.

Came here after finishing the waikaremoana great walk - best waterfall I've seen in NZ! The path is a bit dangerous (lots of slips and thorns), you will need to climb over fallen trees. Took 1 hour walk from car. No one there so got to skinny dip :D

A very special place, but I can also see why the track is closed. There are very fresh washouts since the last big rainfalls of winter, gets dangerous and very steep at times so don’t go during or after rainfall and consider taking a PLB with you. Would not recommend to a new hiker.

Spectacular waterfall that flows over towering sandstone cliffs into a small pool. The track to Shine Falls starts in open grassy farmland that meanders under towering sandstone and limestone cliffs then passes through a patch of native bush in the Boundary Stream Scenic Reserve before arriving at the falls where there is a swimming hole and picnic tables. Stunning spot to go for a walk or even a swim if you are brave.

An amazing magical place, a relatively easy walk in, allow 30-45 minutes. A little steep in places, so ensure you have good walking footwear. The waterfall is impressive at 58 metres high, the pool is refreshing and safe, however deep around the edges and near and behind the fall. There's sheltered picnic tables at the car park and a long drop toilet (bring toilet paper and hand sanitizer). Also recommend you take your own drinking water and food/snacks and take all your rubbish out with you. The road there once off the highway is mostly gravel and narrow in places. Drive safely and enjoy. No overnight camping allowed.

Wonderful walk in the countryside where you can see limestone and Sandstone cliffs, grazing sheep, bush and waterfalls. While you travel over unsealed road for about 6kms to get there, it is totally worth it. Be wary there may be prickles on the path in places and if its a hot day, take a sunhat and your water bottle

Second visit there. Took my grandson for a few days recently. A campsite with simple but sufficient facilities. An absolutely idyllic environment. The team gives you the freedom to feel like you're in your own backyard but are there to assist and respond to any enquiries. Will return again and again. 😊

Excellent stay. Very friendly , and excellent amenities. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic stay here for Christmas. Thank you so much! Shane and Fay are lovely hosts and so hard working, even on Christmas Day! One of the fridges packed up an was replaced within an hour or so on Christmas Day - a testament to how attentive and hardworking they are. We will definitely be back in a hurry. The beach was beautiful and the facilities were awesome and cleaned every day, there was even a bait freezer available for use! Showers were great, $1 for hot as clearly advertised on booking, but we mainly had cold which was good for us in the heat. Thanks again, what a gem of a spot!!

First time staying here and the owners made us feel very welcome. Facilities were cleaned daily and the owners were very onto fixing issues - broken fridge was replaced within an hour, and on Xmas day! Camp store had some good essential items plus the usual treats. Thanks again team, we had an awesome Christmas stay!

Classic kiwi camping ground. Not oversized or overstated. Loads of extra parking as we had 2 vehicals and could use the free space on site to park instead of cramming vehicals onto our tent site. Priced very fair we thought. Good amenities. Great hosts. Kids could simply roam the camp and play without concern which is great for parents. Short 300-400m walk to a great beach and lagoon(lagoon is excellent for smaller children or simply as change from the ocean). Hope to go back next year.

Great location. Owners are really friendly, even during the very busy times. Facilities are good and clean. Pitches are various sizes, so if you have a big tent or van, check ahead. Christmas and New Year are very popular with regulars, so I suggest you book early and aim for mid Jan. There are some nice short (3-4km) walks with great views close by. The beach is great, but you need to use your brain and stay between the flags so the surf life savers can keep an eye on you.

The place is so BEAUTIFUL! It's private and safe for kids to run freely. The communal facilities and grounds were well kept... Clean and tidy. The staff are friendly and approachable and the locals make you feel very welcomed too! We stayed during wet weather but still managed to have a great time! Would definitely stay again. Thanks guys!!!

Walked up to bluff hill lookout - mainly road until the last part. About 100m total climb which wasn’t too bad - not many steps. Views are really good nice peaceful at the top sitting on a bench enjoying the sun

I love this place because of the view to the sea. Bluff hill is right on the edge of a cliff, below is the a road and opposite is Napier Port. For me it's beautiful throughout the day, but its more beautiful in early morning or just before sunset. There are benches there and toilets for the public. Some people walk their dogs with leash. Also it has a clear view of ships coming in and out of the port. If you ever come across Napier or just passing through, take a break and visit this place.

It offers spectacular views over Hawke Bay and Napier Port. The viewing area was constructed over the top of a World War II coastal defence gun emplacement. You can walk up to the top or take the car. Lots of bends and slow driving. It takes about 20 minutes to get there by car. No entry fee. Toilets available. Mostly open area. Parking is not that easy. Beautiful place. Lots to see. Great place for photography. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Popular place, go early to avoid the heat as well.

Be aware that the Seapoint Road is pretty steep and narrow, so definitely not to recommend for bigger vehicles - take the Thompson Road! But you have a really nice view of the ocean and the area is beautiful designed with flowers and benches to sit 🥰 I personally just didn't like the port in the view...

Steep drive up but really nice view. Well kept but lots of views seem cut off and fenced off. The drive up is a very narrow street and I dreaded any oncoming traffic on the way up or down

The Bluff Hill Lookout is a great place to go to enjoy the views out across the port and harbour, especially on a sunny day. There is plenty of parking at the top. Also has some nice gardens and a public toilet.

Another beautiful lookout point in Napier. View of the port and more. Peaceful and quiet , just right for us away from the crowds

Very nice site, good road and parking area, the view was majestic! But... There were piles of trash everywhere and broken glass on the footpath, very sad.

Waipunga Falls is a segmented and cascading waterfall, with an approximate height of 40m. The only place to view the waterfalls is from the scenic lookout car park just off the Taupo-Napier main highway, as there is no official track down to the base due to steep cliffs and thick forest cover. The falls are reportedly most impressive in the winter or after heavy rainfall, and can be viewed along with the neighbouring Waiarua Falls, which is partly visible to the left of Waipunga falls. Please note that there are no signboards with the names of the waterfalls, so you need to follow the "Scenic Lookout" sign on the highway. Then in about 200m, you will reach the cul-de-sac car park. Access is easiest when travelling from Taupo to Napier, allowing for a safer pull-off to the left. There used to be a wooden viewing platform next to the car park in 2006, but it had been dismantled when I visited it again in 2025.

Certainly a very pleasant place to stop on your journey and stretch your legs and enjoy the views and fresh air a great place to stop for a coffee break or just to enjoy.🥰😲❤️❤️❤️

Gorgeous falls. But the growth is getting high and makes them both hard to see. Would be awesome if there was a walkway down even halfway so you’re not just looking down and trying to see through overgrown growth. Just needs a little love.

Amazing falls on the way to Napier! Definitely worth the stop! Amazing views!

This was amazing to view. Right off the car park. No track walking required. Just came across this by accident. If youre travelling that road, should stop in.

Great stop on the drive from Napier to Taupo. Very impressive falls even if you can only see from the carpark

MTG Hawke's Bay is a great place to learn about the art and culture of the Hawke's Bay region and beyond. The museum houses a diverse collection of art, including Māori treasures, contemporary works, and historical artifacts from Napier's Earthquake. The Māori collection is particularly impressive, featuring intricate carvings, textiles, and weapons. The museum also has a dedicated Māori gallery, which provides visitors with a deeper understanding of Māori culture and history. Overall, MTG Hawke's Bay is a well-curated and informative museum, however the ladies working there were surprisingly very unkind, which sadly downgraded the experience.

The perfect little museum in the heart of napier, tons of free exhibits with lots of great historical information. Basement floor was closed but only due to renovations which is fair, hope the revamp looks good!

Nice museum and art. Enjoyed the shaking tables you could play with. The video before the room shook like a earthquake was entertaining.

Small but very nice museum. Cool exhibitional hall of Hawkes's bay's story. Can see the view of art deco building from second floor.

Very impressed I learnt a lot about Maori that I didn't know. The basement earthquake simulation made me jump and brought home to me what it would feel like. Impressed that it was free .

Walked into this lovely museum to be met by the nicest lady, so welcoming and knowledgeable.The museum houses a fine collection of attifacts, and an awesome film interview with survivors of the earthquake that wiped out Napier. Easy to navigate, free entry. Photo friendly too.

We visited the exhibition on the history of the 1931 Earthquake in Hawkes Bay. Exhibits was well documented and displayed, and educational. The museum staff are also very friendly and polite. Overall, a lovely visit!

Small but friendly and full of information. This is the place to go to find out things locally and nationally. Especially good for visitors. You can also find an array of souvenirs and goods for purchase. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you're new to town, situated on the Marine Parade next to the Sound Shell.

Very specious place to have your family dine out. Very busy with lots of cruise tourists and locals but you will be served without a delay by its friendly staff.

Met Peter one of the visitor advisor. Very knowledgeable and gave excellent suggestion of ta mata peak on the way to Wellington. Would recommend heading to the visitor centre for all the best places to go in Hawkes bay

Napier is an amazing place. We loved it. The Art Deco architecture lends a real 1920's feel to a vibrant, friendly town. Beautiful. The Hawkes Bay express is an absolute must for anyone visiting. So much history and Will knows everyone and everything. Simply brilliant.

Friendly staff and knowledgeable, they tell you where you can go and see places of interest and supply a map for you to get around.

Heaps of helpful info. Loved our day in Napier, highly recommend hiring an electric scooter and finding the ocean murals all around town. This one was my fav.

They have information and maps for all the happenings in Hawkes Bay. The staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. They also have a good range of souvenirs.

we visited in the end of october 2025 and there was just one part with flowers 🥲 still 4☆ cause I don't wanna lower the score for this (even without flowers) really nice designed area and I hope it's just temporary and new ones will be planted soon :)

Lovely well maintaned gardens. Nice walk through

Very pretty formal gardens situated on Marine Parade in Napier. Lots of attractive flower beds and water features. Always a pleasant stroll through the gardens. Tidy and well maintained.

Nice tranquil garden area secluded below the road and beach walkway. There are plenty of large round garden beds planted in a variety of flowers, succulents and other plants. There is an interesting sculpture in the central pond and a nice little waterwheel off to one corner. A lovely quiet spot to sit and escape the bustle of the city.

Nice garden area to relax and or read a book. You'll find it along the art deco walkway.

Beautiful place to come and relax. Quiet and peaceful

Lovely garden even late spring

A very well kept and satisfying place to visit. Always love seeing fish in their natural habitat, plenty of fresh water and salt water aquariums. A wide variety of areas to go, easily walkable, cafe and gift shop there as well. Was surprised there were no sharks in the tunnel area though. Still plenty of different species of fish, turtles, stingrays, crayfish, penguins, frogs, lizards, etc. The turtle was very big, did keep bumping his nose on the glass though. Otherwise the turtle seemed okay.

Loved the experience! We were able to see the penguin being fed and fishes being fed by divers. It was a small aquarium and not complete. We were expecting octopus, squid or baby sharks but maybe the ecosystem of the water is not suitable for those. I'm prolly just dreaming. Lol. But I was happy with the stingrays! Too bad we were not able to see kiwis 😭

Exceptional visit here as we booked very early in advance to do the penguin feeding which is limited to a group of 4 a day only. Staff at penguin feeding were very informative and friendly and great hosts to help us feed the penguins. Penguins were our favourite exhibition. The big turtle was great. Kiwi Exhibition was great to see them walking around active. 2pm feeding time in the big tank was also a great watch especially the stingrays.

A nice little experience. We even watched the penguin feeding. It is all more personal in this smaller aquarium. Everything is really clean and you get to see a lot of sea animals, reptils and even Kiwis! One of our favourite experiences was the aquarium tunnel you can walk trough! Loved it!

A very well maintained aquarium near to Napier CBD, there are some shows for the audience which is great to watch and the one for penguin feeding was very informative. Kids love it and will be revising in the future...

Aquarium is tidy, love the turtles! The large turtle would be cool in the big enclosure so you could follow him around but I'm sure he's not for a reason.. probably would eat all the fish! Lady on the front with the stunning red hair was great today, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Customer service like that is hard to come by these days! So cheers! Sorry I didn't get your name!

Very kid friendly and has wheelchair access. However, the value for money is quite $$ for a short encounter with the sea animals. Although, we had the chance to watch the staff feed them. It was still a good experience 😊

It's such a shame that the New Zealand government allows the privatization of land around some natural beauty. The free trail is along the beach, but you have to calculate the tide times because it takes a total of 5 hours to go and come back and the tide has to be low to be able to complete the entire trail. There is no longer the option of going over the top, because it is now private land and you have to pay 100 dollars for a tour to see the birds. It's better to see the gannets for free at Muriwai Beach in Auckland, don't sponsor tours like that.

Very disappointed, Google maps takes you to a private property. But drive further to a Cafe/small parking area before the campsite. And if you are fit and The tides out you have 2.5 hours to get to the cliffs and see the birds. And then get back... 5 hours apparently so dilly-dallying to check out the place. Such a shame $100 each doe a tour is way out our and many kiwi's budget.

Very disappointed, it's private property and you can't just enter unfortunately You have to book. Not recommended!

Even if you don’t go all the way to the bird colony at the end, it’s a stunning walk along the beach. Towering cliffs overhead. Beautiful geography. An easy to navigate beach walk, though pay attention to tides. There are some inlets to explore that look like they fill with water when it rains. But don’t expect to be able to climb up to the top of the cliff face anywhere easily. There is parking at the end of the road, then walking through a trailer park at the beginning of the beach. Great views. Highly recommend this hike.

The view is absolutely stunning! Remember to check the tide before you go. You can call to the office and they will tell you the exact time to start / end the walk. Whole walk is about 16km (6hrs - 7hrs). There is a only toilet before you started to hike up the bluff to the Gannet Colony.

Nice scenic area and the Gannett colony you get very close to the birds its a 9 km hike along beach each way or pay 60 to ride on a tractor trailer with seats to get there

Did the tractor trip out along the beach and walked up to see gannets. Excellent day out. Fantastic views. Take warm jacket, good walking shoes and packed lunch!

We visited for a wine tasting on Thursday and were presented with four different types to choose from. I selected one to start with, and after tasting it, I wanted to try another. Unfortunately, I was told that only one type is allowed per tasting session, and if I wanted to try more, I’d have to go into the restaurant and order a glass. Since my companion was tied up with a long online meeting, I had to give up on the idea. The setting was beautiful and the pricing very reasonable, but the inflexible policy was a bit disappointing.

We got to see The Mission cellar door while we were visiting friends who had just moved to Napier, as part of a wine tour with Frankly Tours (see other review). We did the tour on a Sunday, hoping that the cellar doors would be open, and we were not disappointed. The Mission was our first stop, and what a starter! Fantastic venue and atmosphere, just stunning on the hill. 5 wines tasted from their extensive range, starting with their bubbles. We were given plenty of time to browse the historic photos and artifacts after the wine tasting session. Tour guide was the most knowledgeable of the 3 by far that we met on the day tour, and I think we chatted so much with Q&A that we kind of ran out of time. Absolutely no pressure to buy any of the wines, and indeed we were back on our tour bus before we realised we had not had the chance to purchase LOL. Beyond the wine production the venue and location itself is obviously a major part of their business set up, simple stunning. Recommend you ask for this "cellar door" specifically on any wine tour in Napier.

Beautiful spot, great wines and wonderful history made for a stunning start to our wine discovery. Self guided tasting so you do not feel rushed but stuff there to help out if and when needed. When back for seconds. Also we'll priced celler door wines for sale.

Magic place with incredibly tasty wine, we loved our stop at Mission Estate. Our server was very nice. We went for the aromatic self guided tasting and what a blast ! We ended up by buying four bottles. You should really include Mission Estate in your winery tour !

Well worth the detour. We did some tasting followed by a cheese platter. Yvonne was warm and super knowledgeable - not only about the wine and heritage but also the region. Highly recommended!

Lovely food and staff. Would have been 5 star but a bit odd in their rules on one paddle per person seeing the amount of wine choice’s and how much time and money we spent in the restaurant. The “can’t be in the grass” with the tasting paddle also very odd and comes across as uninviting. They were reasonable at accommodating to food intolerances.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional dining experience at Mission Winery Restaurant. From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the ambiance and warmth of the place. However, what truly stole the show was the extraordinary culinary journey orchestrated by the talented chef.The steaks, in particular, were a revelation. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, each bite was a symphony of flavors and textures, a testament to the chef's mastery in the kitchen. It's not an exaggeration to say that it was one of the best steak experiences I've ever had.The attention to detail and dedication to quality were evident in every dish served. Beyond the remarkable food, the service was impeccable, adding to the overall charm of the evening.I am genuinely grateful for the memorable dining experience at Mission Winery Restaurant and eagerly look forward to returning to savor more of the culinary delights crafted with such care and passion.

We’ve visited quite a few vineyards, but the giants estate wine tasting experience at Craggy Range with Damian was easily the best wine experience we’ve ever had. His passion and storytelling brought the wines to life.. the way he shared the stories made the whole tasting unforgettable. It wasn’t just about the wine, it was about feeling connected to the vineyard and its craft. Dinner at the restaurant was equally impressive. The plating was beautiful, and the dishes were cooked to absolute perfection. The venison tartare and the duck breast were standouts.. truly truly sublime. Craggy Range has completely raised the bar for us. An unforgettable wine and dining experience that we’d recommend to anyone.

we had the winter Italian menu. It was incredible and good value! The service was the hilight of the night. The girl served us is friendly and funny. She gave me a box of chocolate truffles as to make up for put in my oyster order late. The Earl Grey was very nice. I asked what tea they use but then I forgot. :(

Absolutely beautiful. Staff excellent, restaurant world-class, vineyards and grounds meticulously presented. We stayed in a 2-bed cabin & even the design of the cabin, complementary bottle of Craggy Range wine, and daily generous stocking of breakfast supplies were a great experience. Loved Craggy Range!

Grand feast in Paradise! It’s like scenic beauty which has been painted with a brush by God himself and within this scenic wonder lay a nice restaurant almost as beautiful! And the food and wine... Splendid! I ordered the shared menu starting with the Venison tartare followed by the raw local fish, marinated octopus, roasted hohepa halloumi and roasted crispy duck. All of this was very well presented like you expect in a top tier restaurant and tasted superb. I ordered the Graham's 40 year old Tawny Port which cost $50 for just 60 ml glass. But once again the best port wine I have ever had! The main course had lamb shoulder which was beautifully cooked and the meat just fell of the bone! Perfect! And this was followed by the best dish and one of the best desserts which I have ever had! The Spring Pavlova was start to finish full of flavor! You could actually taste at least 4 different flavors in every morsel which and they complimented each other to perfection! From the presentation, taste to the service, everything was absolute highest quality you could ever find anywhere in this world! It was a bit costly but worth every penny! Can't thank my brother and his wife for treating me to this divine feast right in the middle of paradise! Next time... my turn!

We absolutely have to stop by Craggy Range whenever we're in Napier — it's a must. The accommodations are always amazing, the food is delicious, and the wine pairings are absolutely outstanding. This time, we visited specifically to check out the new restaurant. While it wasn’t open yet, we were still impressed by the stunning decor, inviting ambiance, and unbeatable location. We'll definitely be back soon to experience it properly — can't wait!

We had a great meal at the restaurant. Food was brilliant, atmosphere brilliant, service brilliant.and professional But the thing that made it even better was the friendly nature of the staff who served us. They took the day to another level.

Craggy Range is simply breathtaking – the setting alone makes it worth a visit, with stunning views that create such a special atmosphere. The food was excellent and beautifully presented, and the staff were absolutely wonderful – attentive, warm, and welcoming from start to finish. The wine list is exceptional, with a beautiful selection that showcases the best of the region, and the cocktails were just as impressive. Craggy Range is a must-visit in Hawke’s Bay – an unforgettable combination of scenery, food, wine, and hospitality.

What an amazing view of Hastings. You can see for miles and the drive up is stunning. There's a winery in the distance worth a visit.

Absolutely amazing panoramic views of the region. Tracks are very well maintained. A good day to visit is a nice sunny day preferably without wind as it can get quite windy at the peak.

Great view from the peak, Quite narrow road when driving up and down. There's walking trail too if you don't want to drive

Such an amazing place to visit the views are incredible. Take your time, go for a wonder.. Great photos fresh air 👌 🙌

Beautiful views at the top of The Mata peak. We drove to the top but you can walk from the bottom up.

Many trails to walk so can add if you want, don't mountain bike but those tracks look awesome. Great views from the top Can also just drive to the top but walks are worth it for a day or afternoon.

Always a great place to visit. On a clear day, and the right time, you can take a snap of the best views. Very scenic, great for photographers.

we decided to start from the lower/first car park beside the toilet and it was awesome 😍 the nature is beautiful on a nice day - everything so green and the path goes beside the river with extremely clear water ✨️ and after a few minutes you arrive at the falls that look like a photo setup 😊

Absolutely not worth spending the time to visit it. I could not recommend going somewhere less and I've been to Birmingham. Also, much like Birmingham, it's pretty stinky.

Looks like it will be a great spot in the summer... Not much to do when it's raining!

Absolutely stunning spot! Park by the toilets and walk down which takes you to the base of the waterfall. Big area for swimming. Water was icey cold but so clear! Watch small dogs though as I saw one almost swept down stream.

Lovely place. Just a short walk of 5 mins from the parking on the road. There is a bit of fall in your walk so please make sure to be careful. Great for swimming.

35 minutes drive from Napier and 20 minutes from Hastings. 5 minutes walk from car park to the waterfall. Water was little bit cold, but there were plenty of people who swam. Recommend this place to those who are nearby. We didn't see anybody who tried that famous rope.

There is 2 car park areas, 1 has a toilet but is 500m or so walk to waterfall and swimming area. The other car park (in pics) is 30m walk to waterfall and swimming area where you can jump off of the lower part of the waterfall or jump off or use the swing, nice and cold IG📷_leon_04

What a lovely experience we had today at Trinity Hill Winery. We had family staying with us for the weekend, and Trinity Hill was the first winery we visited. We were attentively looked after by Chris and Brooklyn, we ordered some flights and a cheese board platter which included local cheeses, our experience was enhanced so much more by our hosts, who’s knowledge of their wines was shared and much appreciated. We would highly recommend a visit to any one visiting Hawke’s Bay.

Nice place to visit; probably one of the best wine tasting experience in Hawkes Bay. A large vineyard and a large seating space outdoors. We went for wine tasting and the whole paddle was served at once. Amazing garlic bread as well. For non-wine drinkers, they have a few options of pale ale and non alcoholic ones.

We got to visit Trinity Hills Cellar Door while we were visiting friends who had just moved to Napier, as part of a wine tour with Frankly Tours (see other review). We did the tour on a Sunday, hoping that the cellar doors would be open, and we were not disappointed. Trinity Hills was our 2nd stop and a very different feel and flavour from The Mission where we went first. A modern take on wine production was highlighted here with the gravel grown wines being their USP. The building itself is an architectural wonder of a beast, and the fell of the place a lot more industrial and 'in production'. The young wine tour guide was (by his own admission) quite new to the game, but his knowledge was very capable for our levels and tases and very entertaining. 7 wines tasted from 3 3 ranges of wines range, starting with lighter whites and finishing with reds. These were chosen based on our preferences during our chat and not a 'set menu' as we have seen with other places. Purchasing here was very low-key, but simple as retails is set up where you can just pick up bottles from the shelves in the room, all clearly marked and priced. The venue itself is setup as a cafe bistro with quite an extensive menu which we didn't try on this tour), so i could see this being a good weekend afternoon lunch/wine spot with friends on our next visit.

If you're in the Hawkes Bay or just travelling through the Trinity Hill winery is a must visit. We loved the hospitable and informative staff, the superb wine tasting options, delicious platters (we had the Terrine board, perfect for two, be fine for three). The couches are super lush and comfortable if you're lucky enough to get them! If you buy a bottle of wine the tasting becomes free - can't get a better deal than this! Would definitely recommend as a winery worth checking out. Wheelchair and dog friendly.

On arrival at Trinity Hill wines we were immediately set at ease as Chris and his team made light of our unfamiliarity with there tasting system. From then on he looked after us as if we were the only people there, we weren't and he regularly checked up on all the other punters very professional. He quickly assessed my wine experience and tailored the wine tasting to reflect that. Chris is very knowledgeable about his wines, experienced in the wine industry generally and easy to get along with. I had great time and thoroughly recommend going for a tasting at Trinity Hills winery Cheers Andrew Gradisen

Absolutely OUTSTANDING service and knowledge from Brooklyn our server at this winery. We stopped in to buy a bottle, next thing we’re doing tastings and hear ALL about the blends and styles. A cheese platter on board, music playing, great vibes. A cruisy way to spend a Hawkes Bay weekend in an iconic winery. #trinityhillswinery

We stopped by late in the afternoon for a wine tasting. The venue has a lovely outdoor setting and cellar door. The manager Chris made us feel welcome and comfortable with his great service and honest candour. We especially enjoyed the Syrah tasting. Their Gimblett gravels syrah is one to try!

Off the beaten track and our favourite winery of the day! Tony is so knowledgeable about his wines and passionate about how he’s made them. The wines themselves were fantastic - both different from a lot of what you get in the area, and some great European varietals that were a real treat. Perfect ambience.

What a great experience. We stumbled upon this winery and it is totally worth it, better than other wineries we visited in the area for the ambiance alone. It was a rainy day and the place felt like home. It was cared for and intentional. The welcome committee is featured in a Wine dogs of New Zealand book. ❤️

Our last visit to this winery was about 8 years ago so we were keen to see their progress over that interval and travelled up there on the Sunday of Labour Weekend 2025. We were well pleased with that decision. Enjoyed a very interesting tasting of some quite different wines and came away with a box of 6. Tony is an excellent host and very passionate about his craft. You learn lots of new stuff. He is also a very creative artist in sculptures. The gardens contain some stunning works, notably the Haast Eagle, the Trout Fly and a representation of R2-D2 from Star Wars ( I think ). We also shared a small pizza for our lunch. If you are thinking about going somewhere innovative, different and very interesting you will not be disappointed in a decision to visit here. Cheers,

Being recommended by other members of the wine industry to visit De La Terre, despite the beautiful location and pleasant wines, the owner was rude and disrespectful. Prompting our group to hurry with our choices of what to taste as he felt there were more important groups coming. For a $15 tasting the pours were miniscule where you could barely get 3 small sips from the glass. We were really looking forward to a tasting from a cellar door run by the wine maker but to be treated so poorly, I wouldnt recommend this vineyard to others.

Occasionally an experience simply makes you smile; de la terre winery did this for us! The grounds are beautiful with every element obviously meticulous crafted and currated, the menu was simple in a yummy way, the wine was clearly a labour of love and the tasting experience informative in an easy unpretentious way. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and now torn between telling everyone how great it was and trying to keep the secret.

This is an outstanding winery to visit. We spent a very enjoyable hour or so speaking with the winemaker who very generously and patiently described how he makes some outstanding wine. The passion and knowledge was clear to see and appreciated. The wines were amazing anyway but tasted that bit better with that little bit of knowledge. We didn't try the food but delicious aromas made us regret that as we left. You need to try the reserve Tannat, just one out of several interesting varietals that are sensational.

Beautiful tasty little pizzas with a lovely side salad. A terrific wine tasting lineup where you get to pick your 5. Such an impressive winery, an array of unusual varieties and very high quality. Everything hand done, even the label. Great venue, cafe and outdoor seating And such a lovely dog. Well worth a trip.

We were 3 campers and 5 people to stay for the afternoon and Sunday nite. Great wines beers and pizzas . Music/ ambience lovely. We had no kids but enjoyed watching the kids and big kids play the games and have lots of fun Highly recommend.

GodsOwn Brewery is a little out of the way, but well worth the effort. From outstanding beer made by owner Godfrey (see what he did with the brewery name there?) to delicious and quirky pizzas (the one with roasted beetroot is my favourite) this is truly a unique beer destination. The whole vibe of the place is summed up in that it is based around several caravans, a glamping style tent. It has the large frames and wires for growing hops. It is as if someone just built everything that seemed like a good idea. Does it look like a cohesive whole? Not really. But that is part of it’s glorious charm. The rural setting, the outdoor and covered (if it rains) seating, the play area for little children mean there’s something for everyone. Be sure you bring a container for take-home brew. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing place. Came here for a family lunch at 12 pm on a Sunday. The scenery and vibes are absolutely beautiful. Food is top notch and the service and owner is unreal. Will definitely be coming back here when I travel over from Australia again!

Great brewery! I highly recommend spending an entire afternoon here. The beer was amazing. Good place for kids. A little pricey for food and for tasting tray was kind of average-expensive as well. It’s a beautiful property. Only reason I gave a four not a five was because our pizza took over an hour and we had to keep checking on it because we had to go (luckily they did give us a discount on it because it took so long).

Decided to go for a drive and discovered this place. Super friendly hosts, brilliant beers (had more than intended)and great food. Home made crackers (made from used barley and grain from brewing process)and dip.Pizza to die for. Good location. Kid friendly. Will definately be back. Thought prices very reasonable for both drinks and food.

GodsOwn Brewery offers an array of beers and wood-fired pizzas. When we visited, it took a while for our food orders to be served, regardless, we devoured our pizzas in a snap. We highly recommend the adobo beef pizza. The brewery is a perfect place to lounge especially during summer time because of the outdoor set-up.

Discovered this place through word of mouth and it was not a let down. This is a beautiful spot just outside Hastings that’s perfect for a drink on a nice day. Went here with the intention of sampling a few beers but made the mistake of starting on the stout. Once I tried that I couldn’t change to another this just forces me to go for another visit. Pizzas are pretty tasty as well. Well worth a visit.
