Wine Tasting in Hawkes Bay
... all what we anticipated from this otherwise quaint area. However, it made a peaceful and convenient night's stay and perfect for an evening stroll. Te Mata Peak view point just outside Havelock North was worth a quick visit the next morning too. Looking back into Hastings and out over the bay we discovered hiking and mountain biking trails that we'd have loved to indulge in if we'd been around for longer.... this time however, the wine ...

Me, daddy and Rob played on the play park whilst the ladies drank more wine and ate cheese and chocolate. It was a veeeeeery stressful time but everyone dug in and took one for ...
Another day on the job
