New Book coming September 2026
The Hawke's Bay region has had a tough time over the last few years, first Covid and then Cyclone Gabrielle.
That is why I am writing a travel guide book about exploring Hawke's Bay.
In the book you'll discover award-winning wines and restaurants with local foods to die for. Of course, if architecture is your thing, then discover why Napier is the Art Deco capital of the world. The Hawke's Bay region has a rich Māori culture; you'll find out how you can discover this for yourself.
There is much more to discover from cycle and walking trails, over 200 km of them, to Bird life. Imagine standing meters away from 20,000 wild gannets.
As a writer of two-family travel books, Where Shall We Take the Kids? and The Guide to Travelling in New Zealand with the family you know that it will cover why Hawke's Bay is a great place for a family holiday, even if that family member happens to be a dog! Yes, it's pet friendly.
So, if you are planning an amazing New Zealand holiday or wanting to explore more of your own country - just subscribe. I will be starting a regular blog from January 2026 because I just can't wait until September 2026 to share some of these incredible things you can do in Hawke's Bay.
