Come and experience the beauty and serenity of Havelock North and its stunning region of contrasts in the "Heart of Wine Country". The "Jewel of the Bay" Havelock North residential area and town nestle on the north facing slopes of the legendary Te Mata Peak, overlooking the fertile Heretaunga Plains toward snow laden mountains in winter and plentiful orchard and crop growing land in the summer. This intimate little village and small population enjoy some of New Zealand's exquisite winery and dining experiences, quality luxurious accommodation, excellent variety of shopping, and world class olives, cheese and honey products.
