Hawke's Bay

The Tom Parker Fountain in Napier, one of the city's most popular art deco landmarks.

It's no surprise to hear that the Hawke's Bay region boasts some of New Zealand's most pleasant weather

Apart from art deco and architecture, Napier boasts plenty of antique pieces from the early decades of the 20th century. Case in point, this old telephone switchboard.

If you're looking for an extensive art deco experience, head to Napier's Tennyson St.  Just remember to look up.

Many Napier establishments have remained functional while maintaining their original architectural design

No really, who the hell did it?

The Hastings Market was one of several weekend markets we found ourselves enjoying. We're so adult!

Here we go!
