Beach holiday is not too far away!

A great thing about New Zealand is that it takes just a few hours to reach fantastic holiday destinations, wherever you are in the country.

From the wineries and Art Deco structures in Napier is a superb beach holiday destination - Whitianga. Schedule a 5 hour leisurely drive north of Napier to beautiful Whitianga, Coromandel Peninsula.

Things to do in Napier




*Napier is an iconic & unique city 39 degrees south of the equator on the sunny East Coast of NZ's North Island,
with a climate similar to Bordeaux France and Napa California.

*Most hours of bright sunlight annually on the North Island, and a LONG growing season. 'The fruitbowl of NZ'.
Hawkes Bay is a fine wine region. Do you enjoy SYRAH or Bordeaux blends? THIS may surprise you? World class reds! Wonderful Chardonnay & Viognier & many other varietals. 

*Your host is a wine tour guide and licensed passenger service. Robert Simon will design a complimentary self drive tour or offer a very special 'exclusive' tour. Please inquire.
