Hawkes Bay

I visited Napier which is a small coastal town in Hawkes Bay (East Coast of the North Island).

Napier sells itself as the Art Deco capital of NZ. It has a few Art Deco buildings which were built after an earthquake destroyed the town in 1931. I'm not sure if the house can be classified as Art Deco but I liked the look of it.

The town itself is very much like many other NZ towns of this size. The town itself probably has about a couple of days worth of entertainment. Hawkes Bay is known as the 'Fruit Bowl of NZ' and also has many vineyards and winerys too.

Town centre of Napier, felt like a seaside town in France/Spain.
