-- About this video –
We are braving the weather to enjoy an awesome Hawke’s Bay Road trip to the Mahia Peninsula, between the Hawke’s Bay and Gisborne regions. The Mahia Peninsula is in the northern Hawke’s Bay region famous for its New Zealand beaches, surf, views and, in our opinion, The Beach Cafe in Mahia, because it’s our saviour from the wind.
Mahia makes an awesome North Island road trip when making your way between Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay! At the end of the day, we arrive in Gisborne and check out the Dome Cinema, an awesome boutique cinema in Gisborne.
So what do you think? Would you add Mahia Peninsula to your Hawke’s Bay travel itinerary? LUK in the comments!

Here goes the full length version of our trip to Gizzy. Lots of time in and around water. Gisborne is a small seaside city with a relaxed way of life, with cool people who love and are very talented at their water sports. Because the main State Highway bypasses this location it is often missed by our foreign visitors, which is a shame because there is so much more to see and do here and all the way up the East Coast of the North Island of NZ. I was only in town for two days to compile this video, however there are still good wine tours, a cool little museum if you're into that type of stuff. But most importantly this location (including the entire East Coast) has a rich heritage of Maori culture that can be sought out if you look hard enough.

City Description:
Napier, a coastal city on New Zealand's North Island, is set amid the renowned wine-producing region of Hawke's Bay. Rebuilt after a 1931 earthquake, the city is known for art deco landmarks like the zigzag-patterned Daily Telegraph Building. Along the tree-lined waterfront promenade the Marine Parade, the Pania of the Reef statue depicting a Maori maiden, is a symbol of the city.Other bayfront attractions include MTG Hawke's Bay, a complex encompassing a performing-arts theatre, art gallery and a museum with exhibits on local Maori heritage and the 1931 earthquake. At the National Aquarium, sea life encounters include swimming with sharks. South of Napier, 399m-high Te Mata Peak offers hiking trails and panoramic views. To the east is Cape Kidnappers headland, which shelters massive Gannet seabirds. The city of Taradale is home to many of the region’s most venerable vineyards, which produce popular red varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon.
Weather and Events:
Peak travel to the city, and nearby wineries and hiking trails, is Dec–Apr, when temperatures are generally mild. The temperate maritime climate also makes for mild winters (Jun–Aug). The Tremains Art Deco Weekend (Feb) celebrates the city's architectural heritage with 1920s- and 1930s-themed events. The Food and Wine Classic Hawke's Bay is a series of culinary events centred on Hawke's Bay's famous wines, staged in both summer (Nov) and winter (Jun).

Napier to Gisborne via Shine Falls & Mahia - North Island Roadtrip Vlog Day 10
Day 10 of our 42-day trip around the North Island of New Zealand saw us leave Napier after a good break there and head to Gisborne via Lake Tutira, Shine Falls, and the Mahia Peninsula. We followed the Hawkes Bay coastline as much as possible, and for the entire trip, the Mahia Peninsula was shrouded in clouds making it very mysterious, perhaps apt given the Rocket Lab launch facility there. This stretch of coast is full of beautiful beaches, but they are predominately black sand or gravel. Along the way, we also stopped in at:
-Spirit of Napier
-Bay View
-Tangoio Beach
-Waipatiki Beach
-Lake Tutira
-Shine Falls
-Wairoa
-Mahia Beach
-Gisborne
In Napier, we were staying at the Nautilus, a beautiful hotel. Gisborne was a challenge to find any accommodation though. We never found out why everything was booked out, but ultimately, we settled on an Airbnb, a luxury caravan! It was a new experience for us as it was the first time we've stayed in a fully self-contained caravan, but it was pretty cool. If you can handle the chemical toilet and cosy bed and shower, it's a great place to stay!
For dinner, we decided to give Burger Wisconsin's two vegetarian burger options a try and really enjoyed them. Well worth a try!

Wellington Harbour Panoramic View
Wellington Harbour - Te Whanganui-a-Tara Panoramic View.
Wellington Harbour is the large natural harbour on the southern tip of New Zealand's North Island. New Zealand's Capital City, Wellington, is located on its western side. The harbour, the sea area bounded by a line between Pencarrow Head to Petone foreshore, was officially named Port Nicholson, until it assumed its current name in 1984.
In the Māori language the harbour is known as Te Whanganui-a-Tara the great harbour of Tara. Another Māori name for Wellington, Pōneke, is said to be a transliteration of Port Nick (Port Nicholson).
Wellington Harbour is an arm of Cook Strait, covering some 76 km², with a two-km wide entrance at its southern end between Pencarrow Head and Palmer Head on the tip of Miramar Peninsula. It has a maximum length of over 11 kilometres and a width of 9.25 kilometres. The harbour has an entrance over 1.6 kilometres wide from shore to shore and as it is surrounded by hills over 300 meters high, it provides sheltered anchorage in a region where wind velocities may exceed 160 k.p.h. The depth of water over the great bulk of the harbour exceeds 20 metres or 10 fathoms.
The harbour is of seismic origin, and a major earthquake fault lies along its western shore. At the northern end of the harbour lies the narrow triangular plain of the Hutt River, which largely follows the line of the earthquake fault to the north-east. The city of Lower Hutt is located on this plain.
The central city suburbs spread around the hills overlooking the west and south-west of Wellington Harbour and its two large bays: Lambton Harbour and Evans Bay. Lambton Harbour is surrounded by the reclaimed land of Wellington's central business district and contains the majority of the city's port facilities. Evans Bay is an inlet between Mt Victoria and the Miramar Peninsula that serves as a flight path to low-lying Wellington Airport. Another smaller but popular bay, for its beaches and Cafes is Oriental Bay. To the east of the harbour lie several small bays, most of which are populated by small coastal communities. The largest of these suburban settlements is Eastbourne, directly to the east of the northern tip of the Miramar Peninsula.
Three small islands are located in the harbour. To the south, close to Eastbourne, is Makaro / Ward Island Further north, close to the centre of the harbour, is the larger Matiu / Somes Island, to the north of which is the tiny Mokopuna Island.
The entrance to the harbour can be quite dangerous, especially since Cook Strait to the south is notoriously rough. Close to the harbour's entrance lies Barrett Reef, its rocks breaking the water's surface at low tide. It was here in 1968 that the inter-island passenger ferry Wahine grounded during a storm, with the loss of 51 lives.
Earlier names of Wellington Harbour
Wellington Harbour and its waterfront have gone by many names. The earliest known name for Wellington city, derived from Maori legend, is Te Upoko o te Ika a Maui or the head of Maui's fish. Te Whanganui a Tara is another name Maori gave the area – a name said to come from Whatonga's son Tara, whom his father sent down from the Mahia Peninsula to explore southern lands for their people to settle. It literally means the great harbour of Tara. Port Nicholson allegedly received its name from Captain James Herd, who sailed into the Harbour of Tara in 1826 and left it with its first European name, calling it after Sydney's Harbourmaster Captain John Nicholson. Colonel William Wakefield allegedly named Lambton Harbour in 1839 in honour of the Earl of Durham, who had the family name of Lambton.
Transport
Wellington Harbour is a significant port serving the lower North Island, with the Regional Council-owned company Centreport recording around 14,000 commercial shipping movements each year. Wellington Harbour. The region's third largest container port is located in Wellington City proper and there is a tanker terminal at Seaview, in Lower Hutt. Wellington harbour ferries first began operating at the end of the 19th century and regular crossings from central Wellington to Days Bay continue today. The harbour is also used by inter-island ferries, linking Wellington to Picton.
A project to develop a walking and cycling route around the harbour, the Great Harbour Way, is gathering momentum.
