Why choose a Retirement Village in Hawke's Bay?
Hawke’s Bay is a magnet for visitors, drawn by its many iconic events: Art Deco, music, wine, and food festivals for a start. Napier’s world famous for having the largest collection of original art deco buildings in the world; they sprang up after the disastrous 1931 earthquake and have defined Napier ever since. Neighbouring Hastings is best known for its fruit growing and boutique food production, and the weekly Farmers’ Market, one of the best in the country. Here you can buy oh-so-fresh fruit and vegetables and delicious foodie treats, while munching a bacon butty and sipping a flat white. Hastings is also a winemaking centre, with historic and newer vineyards, which extend out to Havelock North.
With the three centres clustered together in the Bay, you’ll never be short of things to do. All three have their own bustling shopping centres. You’ll find theatres, libraries and other civic amenities, as well as clubs to join. The Bay’s known for its foodie culture, so there are plenty of cafes and restaurants to try out and vineyards to visit. If you’re an active retiree, there are cycle trails, golf courses, beach walks, and of course the gannet colony to visit.
