Fly Fishing with Grant Petherick
Something a little bit different to get you out of your comfort zone. Grant Petherick offers bespoke fly fishing and winery tours around Hawke’s Bay.
With over 30 rivers and streams, stocked with brown and rainbow trout, Hawke’s Bay is one of the most under-rated fishing areas in the North Island of New Zealand. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced angler, there is an opportunity for challenge and success in the many kilometres of uncrowded waters.
Explore the cycle trails
Hawke’s Bay is a very cycle-friendly destination, so no matter your interest (or need for speed), there’s a trail, track or path to suit everyone.
The Hawke’s Bay Trails boast 200km of flat, easy-riding trails throughout the region, connecting award-winning wineries, unique cafés, quaint country pubs and artisan outlets.
Our Friends at Takaro trails can collect you from the hotel and take you to your preferred trail or drop your bikes to you and you can start from our front door.
Stroll in paradise.
Waimarama Beach is one of the most sought-after coastal areas in the country.
Take a break and enjoy a stroll along the long stretches of golden sand at Waimarama beach. Waimarama is 20 minutes’ drive from Havelock North, past the spectacular Craggy Range winery. Some permanent residents live here, but overall Waimarama is a popular weekender and picnic venue.
Head down to Bellatinos Food Lovers Market to stock up on picnic goodies for your adventure.
