Arrive Hawke's Bay
On arrival at Napier airport, collect your rental car and proceed to your accommodation. In 1931 a devastating earthquake nearly leveled this city. It was rebuilt in the style of the times, and is now considered the Art Deco Capital of the world. It is also a region where local produce reigns supreme, from its award-winning wines to the freshest range of quality primary produce you will find anywhere. There’s also Te Mata Peak, the world’s largest gannet colony, and of course many boutique vineyards.

Golf at Cape Kidnappers
Your 18 holes of golf today is at the Cape Kidnappers Course. The American designer of Cape Kidnappers, Tom Doak, who is also well known for his prize-winning courses in the US, has said that, 'If Cape Kidnappers were a book it would be an epic. Enjoy your game and enjoy the setting (because) you may never play golf somewhere like this again'. Cape Kidnappers plays above the ocean, atop dramatic cliffs and runs to and from the edge. Cape Kidnappers is built on a ridge-and-valley landscape with spectacular sea views. 2004 Course of the Year – Travel & Leisure Golf

Hawke's Bay Grape Escape
A full day wine tour has been arranged for today. Your guide who will collect you from your hotel has an excellent knowledge of wine and the Hawke's Bay wine scene. Every tour is tailor made to reflect your interest and wine preferences ... maybe the barrel sample you taste will be the next international award winner ... you be the judge. Enjoy lunch at one of the wineries at your own cost.

Golf at Hastings Golf Club
Hastings Golf Club is known as “Bridge Pa” and was established in 1898. The 6,220m layout is one of the best groomed in the country year in and year out. The magnificent fully irrigated fairways are a mix of common couch with imported fescue and native rye grasses, lined by a verdant mix of variegated green trees of all shapes and sizes. The greens are relatively flat, with subtle borrows, and can be extremely slick. The driving areas are generously wide, and sparingly bunkered with neat, shallow hazards full of sparkling light sand. In the main, the player who can strike a reasonably long ball down the middle is well rewarded.
