But there is much more than wine to this glorious place. It is New Zealand’s Art Deco centre, rebuilt in the 1930’s after a huge earthquake. It hosts the country’s most elaborate celebrations of Matariki – the Maori New Year. It’s a place where you can shop at the farmers market for locally grown delicacies, indulge in artisan gourmet food, and join the lunchers at Napier’s Great Long Lunch.

Possibly one of the world's most photographed golf courses, Cape Kidnappers is another staple of New Zealand's top ten golf courses and also features in the world's top 100 courses, ranked 55 in 2024. The course’s most famous hole is also its most feared, the 650-yard, par-5 15th, which falls away on both sides of the fairway and sports a horizon green perched precariously on a bluff overlooking the ocean.

Possibly one of the world's most photographed golf courses, Cape Kidnappers is another staple of New Zealand's top ten golf courses and also features in the world's top 100 courses, ranked 55 in 2024. The course’s most famous hole is also its most feared, the 650-yard, par-5 15th, which falls away on both sides of the fairway and sports a horizon green perched precariously on a bluff overlooking the ocean. This is a \"must play\" on any golfer's visit to New Zealand.\n\u003Cbr>\n\u003Cbr>\nWhilst Cape Kidnappers deservingly takes all the plaudits, if you are looking for something closer to Napier, Hastings Golf Club, also known as Bridge Pa, is a wonderful course that will provide a challenge to golfers of all levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\t\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\t\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n    \u003Csection class=\"lists-module\">\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width wysiwyg\">\n\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Golf Courses\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fcourses\u002Fcape-kidnappers\">Cape Kidnappers\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Hastings GC (Bridge Pa)\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Hawke's Bay Golf Tours\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fauckland-to-hawkes-bay-2\">Auckland to Hawke's Bay - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Ftwo-of-the-finest-8-days\">Two of the Finest - 8 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fplaygolf.co.nz\u002Fitineraries\u002Fspectacular-nz-golf-vacation\">Spectacular New Zealand - 17 Days\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"col-2\">\n                                    \u003Ch3>Activity recommendations\u003C\u002Fh3>\n                                                    \u003Cul>\u003Cli>Take a tour of the world class wineries.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Enjoy lunch or dinner at Craggy Range or Elephant Hill winery.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Walk amongst the Art Deco buildings in Napier.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit the largest mainland gannet colony in the world at Cape Kidnappers.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Visit the national aquarium on Napier’s seafront.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n                            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\t\u003C\u002Fsection>\n\n\n\u003C\u002Fmain>\n        \u003Cfooter class=\"site-footer\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"content-max-width\">\n\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"links\">\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"left\">\n                \u003Cimg src=\"\u002Fimages\u002Flogo.svg\" alt=\"Playing Around \">\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003Cdiv class=\"right\">\n                \u003Ca href=\"tel:6495364560\" class=\"phone\">+64 9 536 4560\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Ca href=\"mailto:info@playgolf.co.nz\" class=\"email\">info@playgolf.co.nz\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003Cdiv class=\"social\">\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FNewZealandGolf\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-facebook\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Fplaygolfnz\u002F\">\u003Cspan class=\"icon-twitter\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\n                \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n            \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"footer-legal\">\n            \u003Cp class=\"copyright\">\n                Play Golf © 2026 All rights reserved\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fterms-and-conditions\" class=\"terms\">Terms & Conditions\u003C\u002Fa>\n            \n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Ffooter>\n        \n        \u003C!-- the js files that are compiled -->\n        \u003C!---->","published"]
